• Classic Rocker Tom Petty Weighs In On EDM it’s a drug party
  Although we have a soft spot for Tom Petty and his band (all classic rock for that matter), we're a little confused why he's throwing his 2c into the EDM debate with some rather generalised comments made in an interview with Radio.com.In speaking with the ONLINE MUSIC STREAMING station Tom came out firing taking shots at Electric Daisy Carnival and the culture of 'EDM';Watch people play records? That’s stupid. You couldn’t pay me to go. I’m not oversimplifying it. That’s what’s going on. I don’t think it would be any fun without the drugs. It’s a drug party. You take that many kids to Vegas in the summer, what could go wrong? I knew it as soon as I saw the ad. I went, ‘Ooh, dead people.’ Do you need the money so bad that you’ll put some kid’s life at risk? His comments understandably managed to make their way over to the Insomniac camp with owner Pasquale Rotella throwing a clever response back at the "Heartbreaker" while managing to steer clear of any drug connotations and going as far as inviting Mr Petty along to an event to party with his mum;"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about records, DJs and DANCE MUSIC including Tom Petty.

• Beatport Freezes Payments To Labels Offers Up Crummy Streaming Percentages
  Beatport have really stepped in it after freezing payments to labels following the re-privatisation of SFX Entertainment, the online music stores parent company after it's float on the share market dropped the companies value and following buy back by CEO Robert Sillerman..Although only temporary all labels big and small have missed out on recent payments for the past three months and won't see any cash flow for another "few weeks" according to a letter sent to rights holders by MBW.Most larger labels with deeper pockets will be able to handle the hiccup but smaller labels who's revenue can account up to 90% digitally will really hurt and potentially derail future releases.Beatport has also taken a swipe at Soundcloud who are currently battling the majors by allowing users to upload and monetise their original content on the platform which all sounds positive but the drawback? A crummy 5% from all rights including "mechanical royalties, public performance monies, or other music publishing monies" to the composer.There's also the ability to upload mixes in which users can take 10% income from the same stipulations as unique tracks which is a pretty small sum from streams or use by Beatport or it's affiliates ie random track used in promo video could net the composer a tiny sum versus licensing a track from a bigger artist.All in all an interesting crossroad Beatport find themselves at.



• How Technology Has Changed The Online Musical Marketplace
  The music industry is in a state of flux. Technology has changed the way musicians play and how engineers produce music, but most of the impact can be measured in how listeners consume and discover music. But what are the main technologies and platforms, who drives these trends and how has the business end held up? Heres a look at how technology has changed the way people listen, buy, sell and discover music. Machine Learning With the advent of music streaming services like Spotify and Google Play Music, big data has the means to determine what consumers enjoy and can extrapolate those analytics to better construct online listening preferences. These music apps are among the most popular, though theyre not the only ones on the market. And with endless options, consumers naturally gravitate toward services that best serve their interests. Indeed, users want a music service that can recommend new music based on their listening preferences. This intelligence is exemplified in Google Play Musics Im feeling lucky radio feature, which compiles users music selection history and, like Pandora, then identifies similar artists to form a playlist. These streaming services also offer downloadable premium options that let users download their favorite tunes. While microSD cards may seem obsolete for many users, the Samsung Galaxy S7 offers a microSD slot so users can store their music without the need to delete apps from their device. Music Services and Discovery While Spotify is the most popular music service on the market, there are many others hot on their heels. For those who live abroad, Deezer is one of the few music services like Spotify that works in Canada. Similar to Spotify, Deezer has a free option and two levels of premium content: one features a mini app for $4.99 a month and the other a complete optimized app for $6.99 a month. Google Play Music has removed its social network functionality. Instead, the program relies exclusively on users prior music choices. The first,

  By Rachel Bailey of the Sonicbids Blog. [OpEd] Jeff Bezos’s online mega-store, Amazon, is the Walmart of the internet. In the two decades since its launch, it has positioned itself as the low-price leader of the web and expanded to become a clearinghouse for all manner of media, gadgetry, and other ephemera. But what many of Amazon’s customers don’t know is that they allegedly achieve those low prices through tactics that bully producers into agreeing to terms that compromise their ability to profit and stay in business.

• DIGITALLY IMPORTED STREAMING SERVICE
  DIGITALLY IMPORTED STREAMING SERVICEDigitally Importeds full-blown dance music listening experience online Issue:545Internet streaming services are changing the way dance music is enjoyed by legions of dance music fans across the globe, offering a wealth of shows and a 24-hour listening experience that captures the vibe of the dance music community from one centralised location. Digitally Imported are one company leading the charge in this online arena, however, until recently, they've existed more as an underground, word-of-mouth service than in-your-face providers such as Spotify and Deezer. The service has been around for quite a while as a digital internet radio broadcaster used by only a small section of the dance music scene. However, recent developments have seen them revamp and remodel themselves to be more than just an internet radio broadcaster with a multi-faceted service that aims to unify the dance music community. First and foremost, Digitally Imported offer a rather cool streaming service — some would say similar to the other online streaming services already found on the web. However, DI directly targets the electronic music fan with content put together by an army of loyal dance music devotees, meaning that the selection of music on offer is always of the highest order. This is one of the unique provisions of DI as they use a team of curators across all of their music channels, covering a wide range of genres to ensure that the musical content is top-notch. Big plansSpeaking with the guys at Digitally Imported, it is obvious that they have big plans for the service, offering more than just a streamed listening experience. Recently implemented is a feature that allows on-demand access to previously aired shows and exclusive content. The next big thing is the opportunity for listeners to buy their favourite tracks direct from DI rather than from another digital music provider as part of their three-pronged approach — a strategy that ensures all your

• How Understanding Publishing Can Help Independent Artists Make Money
  I have read a ton of articles over the past few months about how important understanding publishing is to the independent artist, and it is. What confounds me is that even with all of this information, there is still confusion in the marketplace on how this works, especially when it comes to streaming services like YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud and others. Lots of people in this business dont understand it. Friends of mine at labels and management companies dont understand it, independent artists dont understand it and as more music consumption services come online, it is becoming more valuable to get the whole picture. There is a great article here that gives a thorough overview of how publishing and other performance royalties work so I dont want to be repetitive, but I do want to take this opportunity to dive a little deeper into the way publishing works on YouTube especially when it comes to cover songs. YouTube Specifics This is also a topic that has had a lot of articles and posts so I will try my best to shed some new light on this topic, or at least make it easy to digest. One continues to hear what you need to do when it comes to YouTube, but Im here to let you know also what not to do, which in many cases is more important when it comes to music publishing. YouTube is a relatively new phenomenon in the music industry its a streaming service, but the rights embodied in the content are not just audio but video as well, which needs a synch license. Other services like Spotify, Beats, Rhapsody, Pandora, Songza, etc., are all similar to radio in the sense that they are audio-only services (for now). What makes YouTube unique is that there is a synchronization right that needs to be in place for all videos. Google/YouTube have negotiated with the music publishing industry to get blanket licenses to allow users to load up videos of them singing songs they didnt write. Once these videos are loaded to YouTube, they are identified (most of the time) by

• 6 Ways To Make Sure You’re Leaving Nothing On The Merch Table
  This post was written by Brian Buchanan and originally appeared on theBandzoogle Blog.​ Its 2017! Here we all are in the future, and what do you know - the music industry hasnt collapsed! Sure, CDs arent selling the way they used to in stores. Neither isdigital music, thanks to the explosion of streaming services. But those of us living the nose-to-the-grindstone, unglamorous life of the touring musician know a secret:people still buy stuff at shows. [The Ultimate Guide to Selling Band Merch Online] The ONLY place I still listen to CDs is in my car. When Im pumped about a live show, I want to listen to the bands music on my way home. I want to hang a poster over the holes in my drywall. I want to buy a hoodie so my girlfriend has something trendy to borrow from me. When youre on the road, a good night at the merch table can mean the difference between a hotel bed and a van seat. Im going to walk you through half a dozen ways to make your merch table pop. First, though - some basic ground rules. Your merch area is an extension of your stage Its part of your bands personality in a room or at a festival, and you should be aware of the message youre sending. If your table is chaotic, and looks like it was thrown together haphazardly, your band will look amateur - and your customers (especially older customers) will feel less comfortable handing you their credit cards. Speaking of which, its crucial that you find a way to accept credit cards.Sign up for Square and get a reader.Their app is very intuitive and you will definitely see a difference in sales. Many people are reluctant to part with cash at a bar, but its not because they dont want your stuff - they just need drink money! Also -the place youre told to sell your merch might not actually be the best place in the venue.Make sure its a convenient spot for people to linger, not directly in front of a blasting speaker or blocking access to a bathroom. Finally -never forget to mention your merch table from the stage, slowly
