NTIA Collaborates with DJ Monitor to Empower UK Venues with Advanced Music Analytics and Ensure Fair Royalty Distribution to Music Creators
We are excited to announce a pioneering collaboration between NTIA and DJ Monitor, dedicated to enriching UK venues with cutting-edge music insights. This collaboration is set to revolutionise the way music rights are managed, providing a richer data set to ensure that music creators receive fair and accurate royalty payments for the music played by DJs. This initiative marks a significant step forward in supporting both the entertainment industry and the talented artists behind the music.
DJ Monitor’s advanced KUVO service aims to establish a harmonious solution that motivates venues and events to adopt and utilise their data-gathering and performance-reporting tools. This approach is designed to provide CMOs with the most precise, dependable, cost-effective, and effortless global reporting. The goal is to facilitate accurate royalty distributions to the creators and rights holders of the music played by DJs, ensuring fair compensation and recognition for their work.
The KUVO system effortlessly supports music creators, requiring no extra effort from DJs beyond playing their tracks. It operates seamlessly, collecting only the track data from the music played, without needing any direct action from the DJs. Importantly, the data collected is kept private, focusing solely on the tracks and not on the DJs who play them.
Providing Insights into the Music Ecosystem
Data Collection
Our data collection process involves the integration of KUVO metadata collection hardware into DJ setups. This initial phase is crucial for capturing real-time data directly from the source. By embedding our specialised hardware within DJ equipment, we ensure seamless and automatic collection of track metadata as music is played. This setup not only minimises disruption to the DJ’s performance but also guarantees the capture of accurate and comprehensive data, laying a solid foundation for subsequent analysis and insights.
Data Processing
Focussed on Cleansing and Enriching Data, where we meticulously refine and enhance the gathered information for accuracy. This includes Geo-location analysis to pinpoint music trends across regions, and precise Venue Identification to ensure accurate data attribution. These refined data points are then integrated into the KUVO Database, creating a comprehensive and high-quality repository that aids in insightful music analytics and fair royalty distributions. This step is crucial in maintaining the integrity and usefulness of the data for the music industry.
Data Analytics
Centered around Data Output and Accessibility, the processed and enriched data is transformed into actionable insights through a user-friendly Data Dashboard and a Web Portal, offering easy access to in-depth analytics. We also provide API integrations, facilitating seamless incorporation of our data into user’s systems. The culmination of this step is the delivery of comprehensive business intelligence and insights, empowering stakeholders with valuable information to make informed decisions in the music industry.
