Richie Hawtin Teams With Pioneer DJ To Help Artists Get Paid

In this video, we get an introduction to “Get Played Get Paid,” a campaign on behalf of DJ Richie Hawtin and Pioneer DJ that is aimed to ensure that artist’s get proper compensation, royalties, when their tracks are played during DJ sets.

The partnership consists of Hawtin’s previous application RADR, an app that sends track ID’S to Twitter in real-time, with Pioneer DJ KUVO, an app that compiles a song’s metadata in real-time. The combined data from these two apps is then sent to the performance rights organization that the artist is affiliated with, responsible for finally distributing royalties.
