Sony Music Partners With Dubset For Song Use In Streaming DJ Sets, Remixes

Dubset

SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT has become the first major label to make its masters available to DUBSET MEDIA artists and DJs for use in streaming sets and remixes available on premium digital services, utilizing the company's MIXBANK RIGHTS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM and CROSS CLEARANCE NETWORK. 

DUBSET will monetize and manage the inclusion of the SONY MUSIC catalog in DJ sets and remixes that it distributes on behalf of DJs, producers, and other artists to approved subscription streaming platforms.

DUBSET MEDIA CEO STEPHEN WHITE commented, "This is a watershed moment for DUBSET that demonstrates how critical the MIXBANK tool and programs are proving to be with rights holders. Hundreds of millions of music fans are streaming DJ and remix content, and labels, publishers, and performance societies need robust solutions for managing the use of their catalogs within this massive category of under-monetized music. We are honored that SONY MUSIC has selected DUBSET to help identify and unlock the value in these uses of their catalog."
 
The MIXBANK technology platform identifies the underlying musical recordings sampled within DJ sets and remixes, then determines the label and publishing rights holders, simultaneously clearing the DJ sets or remix across all rights holders within minutes.  DUBSET enables record labels and music publishers to set permissions for access via a simple rules-based system which enables catalogs to be efficiently monetized and precludes the need to conduct time consuming searches and initiate claims.
 
SONY MUSIC SVP Digital Partner Development ANDRE STAPLETON said, "There is a large global audience for DJ sets and remixes, and we think this agreement will benefit premium music subscribers by bringing more of that content into the product mix for electronic and dance fans. We have worked closely with DUBSET on a deal that not only protects our artists, but also provides us with the tools to harness new revenues for them, while amplifying the popularity of the original master recordings at the same time."
