AI disclosure in music credits is officially a thing now. DDEX's new standard is live and DistroKid's already using it.

"Is it AI or not" is the wrong question these days. "Which parts, and how much" is the real one.

It's Friday, and somewhere out there someone's still double-checking ISRCs on a spreadsheet three people have touched this week.

is the extra team member who never gets tired of that job. No pay rise needed, no coffee breaks, just the catalogue admin handled.

Have a great weekend! 🎧

We have a new website.

rightsHUB has grown a lot over the past few years and the old site just wasn't keeping up. More clients, more territories, more features. It was time for something that actually reflects where we are today.

The new site has dedicated pages for record labels, publishers, managers, catalogue owners and acquisition companies.

Clearer breakdowns of what we do and how we can help, so you can find what you need before picking up the phone.

Same platform. Shiny new front door.

Come and take a look 👉

Bring structure, visibility and control to your music catalogue. rightsHUB gives you the clarity and confidence to manage your assets with precision.

The music industry is changing faster than ever.

New technologies, new platforms, new ways to release music and connect with fans. It is an exciting time. But it can also be overwhelming.

IMS Ibiza 2026 wraps up tonight at Dalt Vila. What a week.

Our founder Lee Morrison has been on the ground all week, in the sessions and in the conversations that matter most, listening to the labels, managers and rights holders who are building independent music businesses and figuring out what comes next.

While Lee was at International Music Summit, the team back home launched our new website. Cleaner, clearer, built around what our clients actually need.

The headline from this year's IMS Business Report: the global electronic music industry is now worth $15.1 billion, up 7% in 2025. The conversations that stood out were the ones asking who really holds power in this industry, what separates the independent labels that scale from the ones that plateau, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

The thread running through all of it is the same one that led us to build rightsHUB. The market is growing. The infrastructure supporting independent music needs to keep pace.

If IMS got you thinking about how your catalogue is managed, come and have a look at what we have built.

7.6 million vinyl LPs sold in the UK last year. Up 13.3% on 2024. A 30-fold increase since 2008.

The vinyl revival is real and it is not just a feel-good story for music lovers.

For independent labels and rights holders it means physical contracts are back on the table. Artwork files, liner notes, mechanical licences across multiple territories, catalogue documentation that needs to hold up at scale. All the things people assumed they had left behind in the digital transition.

The work of properly organising your assets never really goes away. It just changes shape.

Is your catalogue ready for it?

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of Leonard Cohen’s passing.

His catalogue reminds us that music does not pause with time.

It continues to move across borders, formats and generations, often becoming more complex as the years go by.

Publishing, recordings, rights splits, territories and usage history all play a role.

Without clear structure, even the most iconic catalogues can become difficult to manage.

Longevity in music is rarely accidental.

It is built on clarity, consistency and decisions made long before they feel urgent.

Music catalogue transfers are becoming more common and a lot more complicated.

It is no longer just about moving assets from A to B. Ownership, contract terms, territory overlaps and hidden dependencies all come into play, and when those pieces are not clear, things slow down fast.

That is when uncertainty kicks in and costs start stacking up for both labels and artists.

If you are dealing with a transfer, planning one, or already feeling that something is off, get in touch and let’s bring structure, clarity and control back into the process.

As we head into the holidays, it's that special time when we get to slow down a bit.

Whether you're celebrating with family, catching up with friends, or just enjoying some quiet time - this season is about the things (and people!) that really matter.

For us in the music world, there's something else that gives real peace of mind: knowing your music is protected, your rights are looked after, and everything's secure while you're taking that well-deserved break.

At , we're all about giving you that clarity and control - because the people behind the music deserve to switch off without worry.

Wishing you a calm and meaningful holiday season. 🎵
