For over 50 years, our collective of companies and ventures have played a pivotal role in the music industry's evolution, specializing in distribution operations that have connected artists and labels with audiences across the globe. Now, with the launch of Parydise Music Network, we are building upon this rich heritage to continue empowering artists and labels in the modern music landscape.

A Foundation Built on Strategic Partnerships

Our journey began as one of the largest music distributors in our region, collaborating with industry giants and numerous independent labels. Serving as the exclusive licensee and distributor for some of the world's most influential labels and artists, we have facilitated significant market entries and helped scale operations for major players.

Universal Music and PolyGram

From the late 1980s through the 1990s and into the 2000s, we introduced PolyGram (which later became Universal Music) to the Turkish market as their exclusive licensee and distributor. We managed all aspects of A&R, marketing, production, manufacturing, distribution, PR, and event management over consecutive years. This enduring partnership led to tens of millions of album sales and played a crucial role in organizing Turkey's first stadium concerts, featuring global acts like Metallica, Elton John, Bon Jovi, Scorpions and Luciano Pavarotti.

Sony Music Turkey

By the mid-1990s, we became Sony Music's exclusive distributor in Turkey, assisting them in structuring their local operations as they established a presence in the country. Through Pop Servis, a joint venture distribution company between our entities Yonca Müzik and Topkapı Müzik, we created a formidable alliance that managed distribution for Sony Music, Universal Music, and numerous global and local independent record companies.

BMG

We also served as BMG's exclusive distributor in Turkey, overseeing all sales and finance operations. Our collaboration with BMG further solidified our reputation for excellence in distribution and our ability to adapt to the needs of major international labels.

Exclusive Regional Distributor: A Rare Achievement

Holding the status of an exclusive regional distributor is a distinction few attain. Our extensive experience in launching, representing, and managing international labels across markets has led to long-term collaborations with major industry players. We have worked across genres and generations, distributing millions of albums and tracks, and helping our partners achieve gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications, along with billions of streams.

Expanding Beyond the Majors

Our partnerships extended beyond major labels to include influential independent entities.

ToCo International

We introduced ToCo International, an era-defining player in electronic music licensing, to the Turkish music scene as their exclusive licensee and distributor. Handling all aspects of A&R, marketing, sales, PR, licensing, and distribution, we facilitated the entry of their repertoire into the market. This collaboration featured artists and partnerships with labels such as Moby, KLF, Erasure, Björk, Technotronic, 2 Unlimited, Benny Benassi, Whigfield, ATB, Don Diablo, Martin Solveig, and labels like Spinnin', Energy, Ultra, Armada, Black Hole, Universal, and EMI.

PIAS and Other Independents

We also distributed music from independent powerhouses like PIAS (Play It Again Sam), Ministry of Sound, V2, and others. These collaborations gave us insight into the evolution of modern music, connecting audiences with the biggest sounds of the time.

Championing Local Talent: Collaboration with DMC

On the Turkish front, we have been instrumental in supporting some of the nation's most celebrated artists and labels through our long-standing partnership with DMC (Doğan Music Company), now a part of Believe Music. From their inception, we served as DMC's distributor, handling all distribution operations as they grew into Turkey's largest independent music company. Our collaboration extended to DMC's sub-labels and associated artists, including:

• Sezen Aksu's SN Music

• Tarkan's Hitt Prodüksiyon

• Kenan Doğulu's Doğulu Prodüksiyon

• Ercan Saatçi's Rec By Saatchi

Our regional experience combines global reach with deep local expertise, pushing the boundaries of what music can achieve in Turkey.
