Label Service & Publishing

MUSIC PUBLISHING

The role of a publisher is pivotal for an artist's success.

Dungeon Media holds a vested interest (as a co-owner of the work and its corresponding economic exploitation) in utilizing your material across diverse contexts and platforms. We manage aspects related to synchronization licenses, music recording usage, and live performances, while also ensuring the security and legal protection of your work. Dungeon Media takes charge of addressing litigation, plagiarism, theft, and fraudulent actions that external entities might engage in against the artists we represent.

Dungeon Media safeguards the interests of the composer. It is crucial to note that anyone seeking to use a song in a production must obtain a license from the publisher, who is the copyright owner. The proceeds from these licenses are shared (as per contract) with the artists we represent. In the absence of a publisher, a significant portion of the earnings may be held by collecting societies like S.I.A.E. / BMI/ ASCAP or equivalent entities in other countries. Many lucrative opportunities, such as synchronization deals, become challenging for artists to execute independently without a publisher. The first step for the publisher involves registering and depositing the work, establishing authorship and increasing the work's public visibility. Dungeon Media facilitates bureaucratic protection, enhancing the work's value and potentially multiplying your income.

 

MUSIC PUBLISHING & COLLECTING

Dungeon Media manages compositions comprehensively, handling administration, protection, marketing, promotion, and distribution through a strategic partnership with WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC (Warner Music Group) and numerous global partners. This ensures precise collection of accrued benefits in all countries where copyright is protected. Dungeon Media, alongside WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC, administers various rights, including public execution, cinema broadcasting, mechanical reproduction, printed reproduction, and synchronization. Acting as a collecting agent, Dungeon Media/WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC handles mechanical reproduction and public performance royalties on behalf of the artist.

 

SYNC DEALS

Dungeon Media has entered a significant co-publishing agreement with WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC, a leading company in sync audio/video placement for film, advertising, and television. This partnership allows Dungeon Media to showcase artists to film production companies and advertisers, preparing sampler CDs for music supervisors. Dungeon Media facilitates synchronizations of various types, creating an online catalog for heightened exposure in the audiovisual production realm. Dungeon Media is already working with Netflix, Magnolia, Endemol, Redbull and many others.
