Russian catalogue · international markets
We open the Russian catalogue and Russian artists to international rights holders, labels, DSPs and promoters: cleared rights, licensing, distribution and live events — with the legal, tax and operational side handled on the Russian market. One partner on the ground, one agreement.
Meet us at IMX Shanghai — we bring the Russian catalogue to international partners.
Book a meetingThree groups, one infrastructure. You get access to Russian rights, artists and live events; we handle the Russian legal, tax and operational side.
You own or represent repertoire and want Russian works in your licensing or distribution business — with the rights position on the Russian side already clear.
You need Russian repertoire and reliable delivery: rights data, metadata and a payout trail that survives an audit.
The supply side: artists and rights holders we represent for international markets. Their repertoire arrives prepared for release, licensing and live events.
Take the whole chain or the part you need: licensing, delivery, production, events or a specific territory. The modules work together but do not require each other.
Masters and rights accepted under a trust agreement: licensing for DSPs, TV, film and advertising, royalty collection and allocation, management of legacy catalogues.
Delivery to Yandex Music, VK Music, Zvuk, Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms. Metadata control, statistics, payouts and a traceable delivery report.
A rights and royalty ledger, content identification, revenue analytics and forecasting — so a partner can see what the repertoire actually earns.
A&R, recording, mixing and mastering; organisation of tours, concerts, festivals and showcases for Russian artists.
Russian legal and accounting support for rights holders and partners: contracts, tax agency, reporting and the compliance perimeter around the catalogue.
A licence is not the only way to bring Russian repertoire to an audience. We build live events — tours, festivals and showcases — that turn a catalogue into a public presence and a new sales channel: recognition, syncs, repeat listening.
Russian artists presented at events and cultural programmes, with production, promotion and local logistics handled on the ground.
Routing, venues, ticketing operators and local promotion for Russian artists — the event built into the release cycle.
Technical rider, contractors, production and post-event reporting: an event managed as a project, not as a favour.
Why the event: tour, festival, city programme, showcase.
We verify the rights to perform and to record.
Budget, contractors, contracts and risk ownership.
Rider, contractors, poster, ticketing operator.
The event, a post-event report, revenue allocation.
No “send us the catalogue and wait”. Each step has an owner, a document and a date — and you see the rights position before anything moves.
A 30-minute call: what repertoire you need, which territories and channels, what timeline. No obligations.
We check chain of title, splits, samples, encumbrances and metadata — and show you the gaps before signing.
Territories, licensing channels, split, reporting schedule and tax agency are fixed in writing. Delivery starts.
The catalogue is delivered, royalties are collected and reported on schedule. Next: live events and showcases.
Manifesto
Rights come first, money follows: royalties are a consequence of rights, not a separate deal. That is why the rights holder keeps control — and why a partner can see every line that produces a payment.
Masters, splits and territories recorded in the trust management agreement.
Accruals across platforms and licensing channels — line by line.
To the rights holder’s account, in roubles, on the reporting schedule.
For a partner outside Russia the market can look opaque. Reporting is part of our product, not an appendix to it: every amount can be traced to the platform, the channel or the event it came from.
Under the base structure the rights holder keeps 80% of gross income. The manager’s and platform’s share is fixed in the agreement and disclosed as a separate line in the report.
Under a trust management agreement the Russian manager acts in its own name, marked “D.U.”, in the owner’s interest. Ownership of the assets remains with you.
A separate (nominal) trust account and separate records for each rights holder — client funds are not mixed with operating funds.
We withhold and remit personal income tax on rights holders’ income and file the reporting. Settlements are in Russian roubles.
Quarterly reports by the 15th of the month following the quarter; the annual report by 31 March. Every amount can be traced to its source.
If your question is not here, send it through the form below — we answer the same business day.
The rights stay with the rights holder. We sign a trust management agreement and manage the assets in our own name, marked “D.U.”, in the owner’s interest. Exclusive rights are not transferred under this agreement.
In the base structure the rights holder keeps 80% of gross income; the remaining 20% covers the platform and the manager. The exact split for a given catalogue is fixed in the agreement and disclosed as a separate line in every report.
Delivery covers Yandex Music, VK Music, Zvuk, Boom, MTS Music, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music, plus licensing for TV, film and advertising. Territorial scope — Russia only or a wider footprint — is agreed in the contract.
Settlements under the trust agreement are made in Russian roubles under Russian law, with currency conversion terms fixed in the contract. Each payment is tied to a reporting line, so a partner can reconcile it against platform statements.
We audit the existing agreements and propose a structure without overlapping terms or territories. A partial transition is possible: a separate catalogue, separate territories or separate licensing channels.
Yes. The modules and territories are independent: a partner can take a single catalogue, a single licensing channel or a single territory without moving the rest.
The first step is a rights and catalogue audit: chain of title, splits, samples and metadata. Its length depends on the size and state of the catalogue, and is agreed after the introduction call — we do not promise a date before we have seen the files.
Request
Tell us what you need — repertoire, territories, licensing channels or live events. We will come back with a catalogue review and a proposed structure, not a brochure.
On the live site this is where the confirmation appears. A manager will get back to you within one business day.
