Music Distribution for DJs & Mix Artists
DJs are tastemakers — your mixes, compilations and original singles deserve a place on streaming, not just SoundCloud. ORB helps you release DJ projects to 150+ stores, clear the licensing you need, and split royalties fairly with the artists you feature.
From the decks to the streaming charts
DJs build audiences through mixes, compilations and curated playlists, then convert that influence into original singles and collaborations. ORB lets you release all of it — your own productions, branded compilations and feature singles — to Boomplay, Audiomack, Spotify, Apple Music and 150+ stores.
Mixes and compilations often combine work from several artists, which raises two practical questions: licensing and payment. ORB offers cover-song mechanical licensing for tracks that need it, and royalty splits so each featured artist on a compilation gets paid their share automatically.
DJ release checklist
Before you submit a compilation, mix single or collab:
High-quality WAV files for every track on the project

All featured artists and producers added as credits
Cover-song mechanical licences cleared for any remakes or interpolations
Royalty splits configured so each collaborator is paid their share
Stores selected, including Boomplay and Audiomack for your African audience
