Dance music artists could be missing out on up to £100 million in royalties per year, according to the Association for Electronic Music.
The organisation launched the Get Played Get Paid campaign at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) on Tuesday to highlight the issue, with producers and songwriters in the UK alone missing out on an estimated £15 million a year, despite making its way to copyright and licensing bodies such as PPL and PRS.
AFEM states artists aren't receiving royalties - related to their music being played in clubs and on the radio - because of incomplete and missing data and not being registered to the relevant societies.
CEO Mark Lawrence said: "Part of the problem is down to writers, artists and tracks not being registered at collection societies so the organisations don’t know who to pay, but even more significantly, most societies do not have accurate granular data on what is actually played in clubs."
One solution could be Pioneer's recently announced Kuvo software, supported by the likes of Richie Hawtin and Seth Troxler, which publishes set lists in real-time and makes them globally available.
Lawrence added: "We want to make sure, even if a number of solutions are adopted around the world, that there is dialogue across the music industry and the value of misallocated electronic music royalties is reduced significantly."
