Royalty Runner – DJ Pools, Mix Platforms & Club Royalties

How DJ Royalties Work

When DJs play your music in clubs, festivals, radio mixes, livestreams, or DJ pools, royalties flow through:

Performance royalties (via PROs)
Neighboring rights (international)
DJ pool payouts (some pools pay per download)
Mix platform royalties (Mixcloud, Apple DJ mixes)

Clubs and festivals pay blanket licenses to PROs, which then pay you for setlist usage.
