B2B distributor FUGA, now part of the UMG-owned Virgin Music Group, announces the renewal and expansion of its partnership and continuing marketing support with Insomniac Music Group.
Downtown’s FUGA, now part of the venerable UMG-owned Virgin Music Group, is now slated to renew its partnership with Insomniac Music Group, a mainstay in the global electronic music industry.
With an influential roster of labels and a legacy of iconic festivals and immersive experiences, Insomniac Music Group has stood as a pillar of the global electronic music landscape. Through this extended agreement, Insomniac will continue to leverage Downtown’s global distribution and marketing services.
“Insomniac Music Group has long been a pioneer in electronic music, with a global reach and deep cultural influence,” said Sarah Landy, Senior Vice President, Americas at FUGA. “We value our shared commitment to high-quality curation and driving opportunities for artists. We are energized by their renewed confidence in our partnership as we continue working with such an instrumental label group that is inspiring and moving audiences on a massive scale.”
FUGA will continue to provide comprehensive support across Insomniac’s global release strategy, including catalog management, distribution, and content support. Dedicated electronic marketing teams will lead localized campaigns to drive discovery and audience development worldwide.
“Downtown has been a true partner in amplifying the voices of our artists, and we’re thrilled to extend our partnership,” said Joe Wiseman, Director of Insomniac Music Group. “We’re looking forward to building on that momentum and exploring new ways to grow together.”
In addition to renewing its global distribution partnership with FUGA, Insomniac Music Group has also extended its neighboring rights agreement with Downtown Neighbouring Rights (DNR), which first began in 2022. Under the renewed deal, DNR will continue to represent Insomniac’s neighboring rights interests worldwide, ensuring transparent reporting and collections across its catalog and future releases.
Insomniac Music Group is home to imprints such as Insomniac Records, HARD Recs, Factory 93 Records, and Bassrush, as well as artist-led labels like Max Styler’s Nu Moda, Joseph Capriati’s Metamorfosi, and Slander’s Heaven Sent. Its catalog and close artist partnerships make it one of the most influential voices shaping the electronic music scene.
“Few do more to elevate electronic music and its artists than Insomniac,” said Connie Chow, Marketing Strategy Director — Dance/Electronic at FUGA. “It’s been incredible to work closely with their team to support their releases and help bring their roster to new audiences around the world.”
FUGA continues to deepen its investment in the electronic music space, strengthening its commitment to serving as a premier destination for electronic artists, labels, and entrepreneurs seeking world-class support across distribution, rights management, marketing, and more.
