Dublin, Ireland, Wednesday 5th August – YANGAROO Inc., the industry's leading secure digital media management company, today announced a multi-year agreement withIreland’s music writers association, IASCA to provide secure delivery of music from record labels and independent music artists to broadcasters, music reviewers and other destinations in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Yangaroo’s Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) has been successfully delivering music securely and electronically to radio broadcasters and other destinations in North America and other territories for over a decade.

YANGAROO’s Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) is a proven solution and has been successfully delivering music securely and electronically for major and independent record labels and other content owners to radio broadcasters and other destinations in North America and other territories for over a decade.

The DMDS service will be officially launched in Q4 of 2015 in Ireland, and the introduction of this world class technology solves a number of issues for artists, labels, as well as broadcasters and other media outlets. For the former, it delivers the highest quality, watermarked, broadcast ready files, instantly, securely, inexpensively, and directly to the decision makers, in a format in which they prefer to receive it. For media, DMDS is for exclusive use to pre-approved recipients, and these releases are easily accessible in one library via computer or mobile device.
 
“The Canadian Music Industry led the world in the move to digital delivery of music to broadcasters beginning in 2003 virtually all music that is heard on radio in Canada is delivered via DMDS.” Said Cliff Hunt YANGAROO Vice Chairman and COO. “We have, of course expanded into the U.S. and other territories since then, and are excited to have Ireland and IASCA leading the way in Europe.”
 
Sinead Troy, General Manager of IASCA and DMDS Ireland says “It’s an exciting time for us, there is no doubt this is a Irish music industry solution, to an Irish music industry problem. For example, Irish radio stations receive independent music haphazardly and if we want them to consider playing more, then we simply have to make it easier for them to access and listen to! Irish radio have been hugely supportive of the plan for DMDS, and are ready to begin testing the platform next month”.

PLAY IRISH

PLAY IRISH is an IASCA initiative to support and celebrate Irish music of all genres.

The initiative was origianally set up in 2011 to get more Irish music played on Irish radio. We have met with representatives from the Radio industry, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and the Department of Arts, Heriatege & the Gaeltact and have presented a solution to these parties.
The solution is:
 
* To introduce a new uniform definition of Irish Music for broadcasting purposes
* To itnroduce a new digital distribution system for the independent sector
* To create a campaign in 2016 to market Irish music to the Irish public
* To find ways of working with other organisations to support and celebrate Irish music internationally.

 

March 2015

We are so excited to present to you our new project to support and celebrate Irish Music internationally - PLAYIRISH USA..

The aim of PLAY IRISH USA is to introduce more Irish music to our family, friends and the Irish diaspora.

Not yet officially launched to media, (stay tuned for more on that), IASCA has spend the last couple of months communicating with fifty Irish music media professionals from TV, Press, Radio & Blogs asking each one to choose just one song a month by an Irish artist. IASCA turns these choices into weekly playlists for international partners to share with their readers.

Our first partners are IrishCentral.com​, the largest Irish website in North America. They tell stories about Irish culture, roots, history, genealogy and now music, and are a leading source for news and politics from Irish America and Ireland to over 2million unique visitors to their website every month. 

Without further adoo, here is the first week of PLAYIRISH USA (you should be a registered user of Spotify to access)
