Full-Spectrum Publishing Administration — Built for Dance Music

From registering your first track at your PRO to collecting sub-publishing royalties in 38+ countries, we handle every layer of the royalty ecosystem.

📋

PRO Registration & Administration

We register your works with ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS, SOCAN, and all major international PROs — ensuring no performance royalty goes uncaptured, anywhere in the world.

🌍

International Sub-Publishing

Our global network of sub-publishing partners in 38+ countries means your track playing at a nightclub in Berlin or Ibiza generates royalties that actually reach you.

🎬

Sync Licensing Representation

We actively pitch your catalog to TV shows, films, ads, and video games. Dance music sync deals are booming — let us put your music in front of the right music supervisors.

💿

Mechanical Royalty Collection

Digital mechanicals from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and every streaming service. We register with Harry Fox Agency, MusicMark, and all relevant CMOs so you never miss a cent.

🎧

Neighboring Rights Administration

When your master recordings play on radio, satellite, or streaming, a separate set of royalties is owed. Most artists never collect these. We do it for you — retroactively too.

Every Revenue Stream. Every Dollar.

Dance music generates royalties across more channels than most artists realize. We track and collect all of them.

Where Dance Music Royalties Come From

Streaming Royalties by Platform — Average per 1,000 streams

🎤 Performance Royalties

Generated when your music is publicly performed — clubs, radio, TV, streaming. Collected via PROs like ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, APRA, and 30+ more worldwide.

💿 Mechanical Royalties

Owed every time your song is reproduced — streamed on Spotify, purchased on Beatport, downloaded from iTunes. Often the most under-collected type for dance music artists.

🎬 Synchronization Royalties

Paid when your music licenses to visual media — TV, films, ads, video games. A single sync placement can be worth $500 to $50,000+.

📻 Neighboring Rights

A separate royalty for the master recording when played on radio, satellite, or digital radio. Frequently missed by independent dance music artists entirely.

🌐 Sub-Publishing Royalties

When your music is used in a foreign territory, a local sub-publisher collects on your behalf. Our network ensures money from Asia, Europe, South America actually reaches you.


From $280/Year to $18,400/Year in Royalties

Monthly Royalty Income — Before vs. After DBEATZ

Marco spent 8 years building a catalog. He was barely collecting 2% of what he was owed.

When Marco first contacted DBEATZ Music, he was a respected name in the Afro House scene with releases on over a dozen labels — but receiving less than $300 a year in royalties. He assumed that was simply what independent dance music artists earned.

Our first step was a full catalog audit. We discovered his tracks were registered with only one PRO, in one country. His neighboring rights had never been claimed. His mechanical royalties from streaming were split incorrectly on multiple releases. And he had zero sync representation.

Within 90 days, we had retroactively claimed 3 years of uncollected neighboring rights, corrected PRO registrations across 14 territories, and placed one of his tracks in a European fitness brand campaign.

Month 1–2 — Catalog Audit

Full registration audit across 14 PRO territories. Identified 3 years of uncollected neighboring rights and incorrect mechanical splits on 23 tracks.

Month 3 — Retroactive Recovery

First recovery check: $4,200 in uncollected neighboring rights from Germany, Netherlands, and France.

Month 6 — First Sync Placement

Track licensed for a European fitness brand TV campaign. Sync fee: €3,500. This single deal covered his DBEATZ commission for 2 full years.

Month 14 — Annual Statement

Total annual royalties: $18,400 — a 6,471% increase. Marco has since referred four producer friends to DBEATZ Music.


What Our Artists Say

★★★★★

I had no idea how much money I was leaving uncollected. DBEATZ did a retroactive audit and recovered over €6,000 from rights I didn't even know I had. The neighboring rights alone changed everything for me.

SR
Sven R.
Tech House Producer · Amsterdam
★★★★★

Every major publisher I approached wanted me to sign over my rights for 5 years. DBEATZ gave me full administration without taking ownership. Finally a publisher that respects independent artists.

AK
Amara K.
Afro House Artist · Johannesburg
★★★★★

My first sync placement came through DBEATZ 4 months after signing. A fitness app used my track globally for 6 months. That check was more than I'd made in royalties in the previous 3 years combined.

JT
Jonas T.
Melodic Techno · Stockholm
★★★★★

The dashboard alone is worth it. I can see exactly what every track earns, broken down by territory and royalty type, in real time. No more waiting 9 months for a confusing statement.

LC
Lucia C.
Tribal House DJ/Producer · Barcelona
★★★★★

I've worked with three publishing companies before. DBEATZ is the only one where someone actually picks up the phone and knows who I am. That personal attention is priceless when you're independent.

RM
Ravi M.
Deep House Producer · Mumbai
★★★★★

They registered my old catalog going back 6 years with PROs in countries I didn't even know had their own collection societies. The first check from South Korea was genuinely surreal.
