By utilizing the Rightsrouter platform, Nu Urban can now manage its own digital distribution of releases, including the storage, encoding, and delivery of tracks; contract management, billing reconciliation, and settlement. This is enabling the company to expand its revenues and simplify operations.
Andrew Neill, Digital Media Manager for Nu Urban commented, "Broad Street Digital's Rightsrouter platform enables us to distribute our labels across the world to an expanding network of stores ranging from major platforms and key independents to niche specialists and dance portals, which is becoming increasingly important for the drum'n'bass community. The system allows us to immediately enter the digital world in a simple and streamlined way, increasing our digital revenue streams substantially. It also helps us to reach DJ's across the globe, who have a demand for high quality drum'n'bass music."
