Apple Music has created a revolutionary new process – in cooperation with major and independent labels- whereby it can properly identify and directly pay the rights holders within a DJ Mix.
Now for the first time ever, DJ Mixes will actually have long term monetary value for all creators involved- a seemingly impossible feat until today.
Building upon incredible Shazam technology, Apple has developed a tool that 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.
They are working with the DJs, and the suppliers of the DJ Mixes including festivals, clubs, promoters, curators and independent labels to ensure that they are compensated fairly.
