SAN FRANCISCO & CANNES, France -- IODA, the global leader in digital distribution, marketing, and technology solutions for the independent music industry, today announced the addition of four new independent physical distributors to its catalog. Burnside Distribution Corp (BDC), Liaison Distribution, Thirty Tigers and Traffic Entertainment will now be able to offer their client labels digital distribution using IODA's innovative D3 (Digital Distribution Dashboard) platform, giving them access to IODA's network of more than 300 digital retailers, mobile outlets and subscription services worldwide. The announcement was made today from the Midem Conference in Cannes, France.

These independent distributor deals add hundreds of new tracks to IODA's catalog including music from Biz Markie, Kool G Rap, James McMurtry, Billy Joe Shaver, Roxanne Shante, Marley Marl, Mobb Deep, Los Amigos Invisibles, Ghostface Killah, Kinky Friedman, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Kelly Joe Phelps, Michael Nesmith (Monkees), Autumn Defense (featuring John Stirrat and Pat Sansone of Wilco), Eva Cassidy, Chuck Brown, Theodis Ealeyand, Debra Snipes and others.

"IODA has been a pleasure to work with," said Christian Hedlund, GM of Traffic Entertainment. "Their reach into the digital marketplace is without equal. They're getting our music out into places we never could on our own. Much like Traffic Entertainment, they don't limit themselves by concentrating on just a couple of key markets. Like us they see their territory as the world. They're always quick to answer questions and provide assistance. The user interface on the Digital Distribution Dashboard is easy to follow and full of useful information and I greatly appreciate their proactive approach to doing business."

D3 provides an easy, fast, and low cost solution for physical music distributors to offer comprehensive digital services to their label clients, powered by a proven, industry-leading digital distribution platform. Distributors enjoy the benefits of a custom branded implementation of IODA's unique Rightsholder Dashboard tools and distribution platform while maintaining their label relationships directly. IODA takes care of all licensing, encoding and delivery, and accounting functions on behalf of the distributor. IODA also provides promotion and marketing support, through its dedicated marketing staff and through Promonet, IODA's promotional distribution network.

Dozens of distributors around the world use IODA's D3 platform, including Allegro/Nail Distribution (USA), Big Daddy Music Distribution, Inc (USA), Cargo Records (UK), Inertia Music (Australia), Koch Distribution (USA), Outside Music (Canada), Proper Music Distribution (UK), Revolver USA (USA), Select O Hits (USA), Shellshock Distribution (UK), Shogun Distribution (Australia), Sonic Rendevouz (Netherlands), Soul Seduction Digital Distribution (Austria), and Tratore Distribution (Brazil).

"IODA has made a world of difference for our digital presence in the U.S. and abroad," said Bill McNally, Vice President/Owner of Burnside Distribution Corp. "Their team is dedicated to placing and marketing all of our 650+ labels -- large, small, pop and eclectic. We are very excited about this new relationship and look forward to a great future."

"We are thrilled to welcome this diverse group of independent distributors to our roster," said Erik Gilbert, Vice President of Content for IODA.
