You can read more about our lovely staff here.

With offices in USA, UK and EEC we have a database of over 1500 dance radio DJs in 75 countries talking to 100 million+ digital music buyers on over 1000 radio stations. It's actually a small to price to pay for global coverage and exposure. We've also found it also provides great ammo to use when speaking with potential licensing partners too.

We often work the same records that upfront DJ promo companies like Power Promotions, Promo One, Propaganda and Hyperactive do. Whilst they specialise, in the main, in upfront tastemaker promotions, Media 2 Radio is really your final port of call a week or two before release to give the record a final push to radio without having to pay a costly plugger who will only work one territory.

If you check our website you can see the current top 10 most rated records we are promoting right now. And as to getting you track in the hands of the right people, coincidentally I had an email from Hatiras recently that said: "I'd like to thank you for the great work you've done with Spaced Invader. It's gotten into the right hands, the feedback is incredible and it's shot out of the gate on Beatport with excellent sales already. Basically, yeah, the song rocks... but you guys do as well" - so the system does work!!!!

We do not set ourselves up as a tastemaker or record breaking company, we are in fact a radio marketing company - an additional piece to larger marketing plan that labels should already have in place. As to clients we have marketed releases for a varied array of labels like Z Records, Big In Ibiza, Yoshitoshi, Sunday Best, Ultra, Bad Boy, Atlantic, Perfecto, Mixture, Virgin, Sony, Universal...actually over a hundred labels. In the last 12 months we've worked releases for artists like the Freemasons, Deadmau5, Joey Negro, Planet Funk, Kaskade, Radio Slave, Young Punx, Princess Superstar, Martin Solveig, K-Klass, Mark J Blige, Dub Pistols, Cerrone, Michael Jackson and the Japanese Popstars... our current projects can be seen on the website ( www.media2radio.com )

We charge £199 for this digital promotion (US labels please contact Eddie or Lewis). Emails are automatically generated when a DJ/presenter downloads a track and are sent direct to the client - you will also have access to log-on to your promotion page and see various additional information about the DJ/presenter. I can tell you that the PPL takes our data seriously so radio spins in European countries that are covered under the joint PPL license will garner you income to recoup your expenses.

Musician Royalties Rise on Satellite and Online Radio
By JOSEPH PLAMBECK
For musicians, it always pays to have songs played on satellite and online radio - but in the first quarter, it paid even more than usual.

In the first three months of the year, SoundExchange, the organization that collects and distributes performance royalty fees, mailed nearly $52 million to artists and copyright holders, about 25 percent more than any previous quarter.

John L. Simson, the executive director of SoundExchange, said on Thursday that the higher payout resulted from more and bigger radio stations simulcasting online, the growth in streaming services like Pandora and a recent increase in satellite radio subscriptions aided by rising car sales.

In addition, he said, SoundExchange has been able to register thousands of artists who had not been in the system and also do a better job figuring out which songs are getting played. Half of the money sent by SoundExchange goes to the artist and the other half goes to the copyright holder, usually a music label.

"We're having fun cleaning up data and sending out money," Mr. Simson said. "It's fun to go up to a band at a festival and say, ‘We have $3,000 for you.'"
