IODA Signs Demon Music Group for Worldwide Digital Music Distribution

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
IODA, the global leader in digital distribution, marketing, and
technology solutions for the independent music industry, today announced
a ground breaking, exclusive partnership with catalog music specialist
Demon Music Group for the U.S. and Canada. This deal expands IODA's
catalog of more than one million tracks with some of popular music's most
famous heritage artists including Ian Gillan, Don McLean, Ian Dury,
Frankie Ford and Andy Williams. The announcement was made today at the
London Calling conference in London, UK.

Demon will now have virtual shelf space at more than 400 digital
storefronts including retailers, mobile outlets and subscription services
that make up IODA's distribution network. In addition to distribution,
Demon will leverage Promonet, IODA's unique digital marketing platform, to
drive online and offline sales. Promonet allows labels to reach the
Internet's most valuable tastemakers: the more than 3,000 digital
retailers, music websites, social networks, bloggers, podcasters, internet
radio programmers, and music supervisors around the world that are members
of the growing Promonet promotional distribution network.

"The choosing of an exclusive digital partner for the U.S. & Canada has
been a critical decision for our company. With IODA, we have struck an
ideal partnership that gives us access to considerable online marketing
and sales skills, and existing relationships with key digital and mobile
stores," said Chris Birrell at Demon Music Group. "IODA's Promonet service
greatly influences which ears will hear our artists, where the music will
travel and its longevity around the world. Demon's catalog includes some
of the biggest catalogue artists and is filled with rock, pop, blues and
dance chart hits from the last 40 years. Our partnership with IODA makes
us confident we are acting in the best future interests of our artists and
their online fans."

"We are delighted that Demon has chosen IODA as its partner to make its
important music catalog available around the world," said Erik Gilbert,
VP, Content for IODA. "By making these recordings available through IODA's
large distribution network, Demon is helping extend the life of some of
the most enduring rock, soul, dance, pop, blues and world music of the
20th century."
