APRA AMCOS Partners With The Association For Electronic Music

APRA AMCOS has announced a new partnership with the Association For Electronic Music (AFEM) joining as an affiliate member.

AFEM acts as the global voice for the electronic music industry and the partnership will work to "enhance and promote the interests of the electronic music genre". 

Speaking of the partnership, Dean Ormston, APRA AMCOS Chief Executive said, “APRA AMCOS is proud to be one of the first music rights management organisations to partner with the Association of Electronic Music as an affiliate member. 

"Having already established music recognition technology in the electronic music sphere to accurately pay our songwriters, composers and right holders when their music is played, we’re looking forward to working with AFEM to further these efforts in the future.”

Greg Marshall, General Manager AFEM shared, “APRA AMCOS stand out as a pioneering Collective Management Organisation (CMO) who committed to using music recognition technology at DJ events to ensure accurate royalty payments to creators and rights holders, well before AFEM even launched the ‘Get Played Get Paid’ campaign in 2014.

"It is with great pleasure that we can announce APRA AMCOS’ affiliate membership of AFEM, and the associated commitment to continued dialogue and development of policies which seek to best serve the electronic music ecosystem.”
