Key Drivers

Electronic Genre. According to 2018 IMS Business Report, the EDM (electronic dance music) industry is currently valued at $7.4 billion, estimating that the global EDM industry could be worth nearly $9 billion by 2021. In fact, EDM as a genre is beginning to blend into mainstream culture, with crossover hits appearing in both pop and R&B categories. As the once-underground genre becomes deeper embedded in mainstream culture, crossover tracks bridge the gap between genres.

International. The majority of this catalog’s earnings come from abroad — at 75% of historical earnings. Although international royalty distribution can lag behind domestic payments, as the winner of this auction you’ll be entitled to any past performance royalties paid by ASCAP, regardless of when they were earned.

As this collection earns primarily from countries outside the United States, it’s important to note that international earnings can often be reported to distributors with limited detail. These international earnings often include income from radio, streaming platforms, and TV/Film.

EDM/Streaming. According to BuzzAngle’s 2018 report, as a genre, 87% of EDM (electronic) listeners tune in on-demand streaming platforms. This is great news for you, as the winning investor will benefit from this collection’s increasing streaming growth. In the last 12 months alone, this collection has shown notable growth at over 100% from the preceding year.
