Independent publisher Sentric Music Group has formed a direct licensing deal with Beatport to support faster payments to labels, artist and producers.

Through the partnership, Sentric’s electronic-focused division will allow creators who have had their tracks streamed or downloaded on Beatport to tap into income and publishing royalties directly through an online account.

Additionally, Beatports artists, producers and label partners will have access to Sentric’s rights management solutions and creative services.

Artists and labels already signed to the partnership include Patrice Bäumel, Victor Ruiz, Metodi Hristov, Joyce Muniz, Sincopat, Urbana and Culprit.

In 2018. Sentric acquired a stake in music publisher Black Rock and has since launched Sentric Electronic, an online publishing service that helps electronic producers and songwriters control their rights.

“By partnering with Beatport and collecting from the store directly, we are able to invoice for and pay our clients quarterly. Offering our service to every artist and label currently selling music on Beatport will close electronic music’s publishing deficit and provide the solution that our community deserves,” shared Sentric’s Mark Lawrence.

Susan Gloy-Kruse, Beatport’s Director of Industry Relations, added, “This deal empowers the community we work so closely with to more efficiently and effectively tap into an important revenue stream in a way that is seamlessly integrated into the Beatport ecosystem.”
