As your distributor, we can get this sorted out for you! Let us explain why this happened and how it will be fixed.
To explain why your music on Soundcloud has a copyright claim against it:
When you distribute through us, Artist Republik, there is a system in place to protect artists/copyright owners like yourself. When we send music to stores either before or after you have posted the same music to your profiles, the system flags the music as being copyrighted. This is for protection of the original owner, so that if anyone other than the copyright owner tries to post the music and monetizes off of your hard work, they can't.
There is a quick fix for this on Soundcloud, which is common because it's one of the few platforms where artists/copyright owners can post their music themselves without the help of a distributor.
How to resolve the copyright claim:
Forwarded the email you received from Soundcloud to support@artistrepublik.com explaining what songs there's a claim against and for whom, as well as your Soundcloud profile link.
Once we receive this, we can send in a request to Soundcloud to whitelist this profile. This will prevent this from occurring again, so you can post your music on SC yourself with no claims.
As long as you send us this information, we can help you get this sorted out!
