ADMINISTRATION

Throughout our administration partner ROBA Music Publishing we are able to collect royalties for our writers on a maximum efficient way. With the ROBA HYBRID MODEL we are able to combine the best of both music-publishing worlds. Whenever possible, we become direct members of local societies or platforms like YouTube and Spotify in various territories to speed up the process of delivering the earnings. This is not possible in every region of the world, mostly due to legal regulation or a very fragmented local market. The hybrid model of our partner ROBA allows us to deliver more income to our clients, faster. It is often resulting in 20-30% higher revenues for our writers and publishing partners.

SYNC / LICENSING

Our administration partner ROBA Music Publishing provides access to one of the biggest sync catalogues worldwide and we are also developing our own network for film / TV and advertising sync licensing with music supervisor and synch agents from all around the world

LIVE PERFORMANCE INCOME-TRACKING

We help our clients to maximize royalty income through income tracking of their live performance rights and have established a special service to support our artists with the correct submission of DJ setlists and concert song lists to the respective performing rights organizations.

RELEASES

With Kontor Records and Kontor New Media as our strong in-house partners, we are able to set up releases immediately. We also have access to our own PR teams for online, radio, etc. as well as a dedicated social and YouTube/video department. (Kontor Records own YT channel has in excess of 5 million subscribers). If a song doesn’t quite fit the Kontor Records stylistic profile, we can still pitch it to artists, publishers and other label partners (national and international), including all major record labels. Our administration partner ROBA Music Publishing will register and collect royalties for your songs via their direct membership in all relevant key territories worldwide.

CREATIVE

We regularly organize digital and physical songwriting camps, often teaming up with other leading publishing teams from around the world to maximize the creative potential of each and every session.
One of the key ways we support our clients, writers and producers is by giving them access to our international network of songwriters and topliners and guiding them through the collaborative process.

PRODUCTION MUSIC

We established our own production music edition which presents further opportunities to generate income through active placements of your music. With ROBA Music Publishing, we are able to tap into their huge international production music network as well.

Hailing from the Lower Saxony region, the young German first cut his musical teeth on the renowned Euphonic imprint, quickly and successfully spinning his production profile off into a DJ career that seen him in high demand behind the decks throughout his native Germany. Five years down the line and Steve’s DJ’d the world’s A-to-Z - everywhere from Antigua, on the Ministry of Sound’s recent club tour to Cheboksary's Renaissance Club, Russia (and numerous points in between). He’s also expanded his label remit to a host of other highly regarded imprints, most recently signing to Cosmic Gate’s WYM Records. His ‘Time & Time’ debut for the label created instant heat with fans, DJs and the press alike (with MIXMAG scoring it highly and trumpeting: “if you’re after some irrepressibly feel-good music this month, you may well find it here!)”.

Releases like ‘Time & Time’, ‘Fire Sign’, ‘Yaya’, ‘Avocado’ and ‘La Gomera’ have quickly seen him become a go-to guy for many of the electronic music scene’s upper DJ echelon. His music now enjoys consistent deck support from leading trance lights including Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond & Ferry Corsten, as well as house flamers like Tiësto, W&W & Swanky Tunes. His music has proved every bit as popular on the radio, with ‘Fire Sign’ bagging a Tune of the Week on Armin’s A State Of Trance and ‘La Gomera’ scoring an ASOT Future Favourite and Record Of The Week on Above & Beyond’s radio show. Like many of this others, the tracks enjoyed comparable sales success, both entering the Beatport top 10.In other studio and music release mediums, Steve is equally versed. In 2010, he released his debut artist album (the 14-track-strong long-player ‘Calera’) through Euphonic and since his earliest productions, he’s been a keen and innovative studio collaborator. This has seen him team up with a range of producers and singers, including ones as diverse as American folk vocalist David Berkeley and Spanish language group Almadrava.Steve is every bit as adept a remixer as he is a producer. Included among his work are remixes of the massive club hits ‘Live Forever’ by Lange & Emma Hewitt and Alex M.O.R.P.H. ‘From The Universe With Love’. He’s also rebuilt the tracks of many a trance mainstay, Cosmic Gate, Audien, Tritonal, Lange, Andy Moor, Alex MORPH, Kyau & Albert, Ronski Speed among them. Most notably, in 2010 he reinterpreted ‘I See You’ – the James Horner-composed theme from the movie ‘Avatar’ for club floors and the following year reworked ‘Stay Forever’, from shared Tiësto / Showtek project Allure. In Steve also worked with Mike Oldfield on the latter’s revision of his classic ‘Tubular Bells’ album for the release of ‘Tubular Beats’.In late 2020, Steve released his new album "1986", an array of deep and emotive trance and progressive cuts, out now via Enhanced Music. Featuring the likes of Matt Fax, Eric Lumiere, RENÉE, Trove, to name a few, Steve Brian describes the album as a personal story of love, triumph, maturity, and everything in between. Through heartbreak and struggle there’s hope, and light, “1986” is the journey through it.
