Over the ensuing years digital distribution has become more and more apparant in the music business and so did the focus of EPM EPM Music has since developed with a focus to provide a highly professional label & artist service establishing a strong market presence with all major outlets like iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rdio, Deezer etc, alongside dance specific outlets such as JunoDownload, Beatport, Bleep, Boomkat, WhatPeoplePlay, Zero Inch, Stompy, Traxsource and so on. Renowned for its focus around quality instead of quantity, EPM Music’s success is largely dependant on their personal approach towards labels and artists. Labels are advised on promotional activities and a good relationship with the retail outlets ensures solid promotional opportunities for many of EPM clients that would not be able to get the same service directly with outlets. In 2007 EPM also became a publisher to offer its artists and label the opportunity to collect mechanical and public performance income from around the world. Opening an office in Los Angeles has also given a strong foot in the sync licensing market where EPM has had numerous successful placements in TV, movies, adverts and games.
