Using the platform’s simple user interface content owners can manage and update their catalogue’s metadata, edit label copy, compile unique compilations, schedule well in advance delivery of files to over one hundred online stores and aggregators, such as iTunes, Napster, Spotify, Beatport and Amazon.com and access up to the minute data on where their products have been delivered.Fatboy Slim, Deadmau5, Freemasons, Tiësto, Plump DJs, Bob Sinclar, Stanton Warriors, John ‘00’ Fleming, Christopher Lawrence, MYNC, Aeroplane, Marco Bailey, Deetron, KasKade and Danny Freakazoid are just some of the many artists represented by these labels that are now set to benefit from FUGA’s innovative approach to digital distribution.Launched in spring 2008, FUGA has established itself as one of the leading resources for record labels in the digital market who wish to pursue direct deals with stores.

The company is set to open new offices worldwide in the coming months to keep up with demand from the music industry for the FUGA platform.Martijn Tjho, founder of Independent IP said “I am very happy that more and more content owners see the benefit of direct relationships and the web as integrated part of their music business.
