Explanation:
I couldn't find anything on Nullbemusterung. Bemusterung is used for the marketing distribution of all kinds of preview material, including new products before they go into serial production. These pre-serial samples are called "Nullserie". Pre-serial samples are frequently given away free as Bemusterung in order to familiarize the public with a new product.
Maybe "Nullbemusterung" is used as a similar concept, and it would make sense that the company will pay 100% of the costs in order to promote an unknown artist.

Bemusterung definition: Gratis-Zurverfügungstellung von Tonträgern für die Medien zum Zwecke der Promotion. Dies geschieht vor der Veröffentlichung.

agree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): I guess "Null" refers to samples free of charge

  -> Danke Harald, ich dachte eigentlich, dass sich *Null* auf Referenz/Vergleich bezieht. Im Brauen: Nullbier = reference beer.
