History

Symphonic Distribution is based in Tampa, FL and was founded in late 2006. By 2010, Symphonic Distribution was earning more than half a million dollars a year in revenue for its clients.[1]

In 2013, Symphonic Distribution was nominated for Pasco Economic Development Council’s Industry of the Year Award. Pasco’s EDC banquet is regarded as the premier business event in Pasco County, FL.[2]

By 2015, Symphonic Distribution had garnered more than 4,000 clients from all 50 states and more than 100 countries, including artists, labels, and even other distributors who don't have the penetration into digital stores and streaming services that Symphonic has. [3] It generated $2.3 million in revenue in 2014, about $500,000 of which was profit. [4]

In September 2015, GrowFL named Symphonic Distribution as one of 50 Companies to Watch.[5]

Publishing Administration

In June 2014, Symphonic Distribution announced partnership with TuneCore for Music Publishing Administration Service, becoming the first dance music distributor to have a focus on this important piece in the collection of music royalties.[6]

Physical Distribution

In February 2015, Symphonic Distribution announced a new partnership with AMPED™ – the largest direct-to-account distributor for physical home entertainment audio and video releases in the United States and internationally – to offer physical music distribution. Through their partnership, Symphonic Distribution is able to get approved products to some of the largest network of outlets across America, including AIMS, CIMS, chain retailer and independent record shops.[7]

Video Distribution

In July 2014, Symphonic launched Video Distribution services. Every record label and artist signed onto Symphonic now has an outlet to get their videos to the masses with specifications and metadata details available right now via the Symphonic Management System. Symphonic partnered with some of the top providers in the industry that allows everyone that has a music video produced the ability to get the promotion they deserve. The service will include the following video partners for a fee of $75.

NoisePorn

Symphonic Distribution is the owner of the entertainment brand, NoisePorn. NoisePorn is a popular electronic music blog and magazine that has been recognized as one of the best electronic music blogs by DJZ and Breakspoll.[8][9]

In 2015, NoisePorn launched their own online video network on Roku and Apple TV. The network focuses on exclusive shows, music videos, interviews and more.[10]

Topple Track

In June 2015, Symphonic Distribution acquired the piracy protection firm, Topple Track. At the time of acquisition, the Denver-based company had taken down nearly 6 million illegal links and had over 3,000 users around the world.[11]

Dubseed

In 2016, Symphonic Distribution announced a strategic partnership with Dubseed[12], a retailer and music community dedicated to the new and growing STEMS music format created by Native Instruments. Symphonic Distribution’s goal with this partnership is to make up for the decline in traditional downloads by focusing on a new media format. The brand and its team help evolve Dubseed’s platform to bring content from Symphonic clients as well as clients of other distribution companies and open up the platform to other new media formats.
