Ahead of the terrible news of the closure of Aslice (a payment system for DJs to give back to the artists whose music they are playing in their sets), the AFEM (Association For Electronic Music) backed initiative supported by figureheads across electronic music launches with the goal of setting a new industry standard for crediting the musical work featured in social media videos and content uploaded by DJs, artists, labels, and brands. Artists and musicians who create the music we enjoy every day deserve to receive their rightful royalties. It's also crucial to raise awareness about the issue of DJ set lists not being registered at collecting societies. Additionally, there needs to be transparency regarding the percentage of a fee paid by promoters, clubs, and event organisers for their performance licenses actually going towards the music that gets played.
