Iconic Conversations with Zack Bolak - Founder of Culture Technologies - Zack is the founder of Culture Technologies, a music tech and artist services company. The music tech division is developing a product for producers and songwriters, called Collective, to simplify the complex process of accessing music publishing royalty money. With the artist services arm, Culture Technologies amplifies local artists and artist teams to expand their presence in new markets - one of Culture's first clients is the management company for Argentinian trap artist Lucho SSJ. Prior to starting Culture Technologies, Zack spent nearly a decade in the music industry where he worked for various music companies across music tech, music distribution, recorded music, music publishing, user-generated content, and artist management. Most recently, he served as the Head of Music Creator Product Marketing for RME, a royalty collection company focused on helping music producers and songwriters access money for their music's use on social media. Before that, he was a product manager at Pex, where he and his team built the display for ingested sound recording and composition information. Zack's career in the music industry began with internships at indie labels and management companies for artists like Childish Gambino and Frank Ocean. His first job out of college was at Dubset, a company known for its innovative MixBANK product, which was capable of identifying and monetizing the use of songs in user-generated content. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tavamultimediagroup/support
Episode #156 : Thousands of hours of content are uploaded to sites like YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, Facebook, etc. every minute, and a fair amount of it contains unlicensed music. Technologies like YouTube's “Content ID” system can help rights holders find offending usages once they're uploaded, but not all sites have that kind of functionality, and certain uses are so short that the current tech can't find them. Thankfully, there are several third party services stepping into the market to fill this critical gap in digital attribution and rights management, and we talk to three of them on this episode. In this hour, we hear from Stephen White of LyricFind, Amadea Choplin of PEX, and Stephen White of Dubset. This episode is sponsored by DISCO!

DJ culture is coming out of the shadows, thanks to breakthroughs in licensing, hardware, and software. Stephen White, CEO and Chairman of Dubset, lays out financial and legal risks the world's 55 million DJs used to face and how Dubset’s derivative content licensing and legal distribution bring DJs (and their 650 million worldwide fans)into the music biz fold. What do DJ mixes offer that playlists just can’t? Explore Stephen’s abiding love for the creativity and energy of DJ culture, the tectonic shifts in Dubset’s path, and what’s next now that it’s easier than ever to be a DJ. The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done. The podcast includes news roundups, interviews, and more.
Remixes happen, a lot, but not all of them are done legally. Dubset wants to help DJs get paid for their work while the original artist gets the credit (and payment) they're due. The post Game of Thrones Season 8 appeared first on The Geeks and Beats Podcast with Alan Cross and Michael Hainsworth.

Stephen White, who served as the President at Gracenote from 2012-2014, is now the CEO of Dubset, an innovative music marketplace for DJs, artists, labels, publishers, and distributors. Dubset gets mixtapes, remixes and DJ sets the licenses they need to be distributed on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and hence monetized. On this Music Growth Talks episode, Stephen talked about Dubset's history (some of you may still remember it as a place to host your DJ mixes), explained how complicated the clearance process has been traditionally and how a DJ, a producer or a label can do it differently using Dubset's MixBANK. Stephen also shared details of the recent project by J.PERIOD, featuring hip hop legends Rakim, Pharoahe Monch, and Black Thought, which is a live mixtape that was recorded in one take. This is the first time such a mixtape has been cleared for commercial distribution.
