Thanks to Apple Music, Artists Can Now Monetize Mixes
Apple Music has developed new technology allowing for artists to monetize mixes. Producers can now claim royalties on tracks played in DJ mixes. A number of dance music companies are involved with the initiative including Boiler Room, Cercle and Tomorrowland. The tech advances Shazam’s existing technology, with Apple Music saying that it will “allow Apple Music to properly identify and compensate all of the individual creators involved in making a particular DJ Mix—including any artists behind the music in the mix,” according to Apple.
