The traditional music license system is a good concept.
It is designed to pay artists when their music is played. Each year businesses will be sent a bill depending on their size.
However many people do not feel it works for them.
Sadly it is hard to trace who should get royalties, which can often mean the larger mainstream artists get the biggest shares.
We wanted to try something different.
– Quality, original homegrown music.
– The right atmosphere
– Artists are paid upfront for creating music offering a fair system of working.

Since launching, the reaction to this project has been overwhelming so we have decided to make this service available for free as we continue to build and refine our library.
Use any internet browser to stream our music 24/7. Once signed up not is only do you have access to high quality original music but you are no longer require a PRS or PPL licence. Our downloadablecertificate of authenticity confirms our catalogue is royalty-free and available to be used in your premises.
The sound union player can be played alongside any other music, but the Sound Union licence only applies to music played through the Sound Union system. Any other licensed music played requires a music licence or PRS license.
Our music is updated continually as fresh music is delivered to us. Every quarter we completely overhaul our full selection making sure it is fresh and up-to-date, each time we do this update, we keep favourites and classics while adding plenty of new material.
Please make sure if you are using our service you download the relevant certificate to complement each season.
About Us
The story so far....
Early in 2020 the Covid19 crisis hit the UK, over night our livelihood as producers, DJs and music creators disappeared along with some of our favourite venues. As lock down started to ease many of the local venues started to report they were struggling financially with the new restrictions.
Our solution to both of these problems was to start to build a huge library of new music from Sheffield producers which we could continually update and stream directly into the spaces we love. We get an outlet for our music and as it is all original and royalty free the venues using Sound Union are not required to have a music licence, saving them money and hopefully helping them stay afloat in these difficult times.

Help Us Grow
We are a small collective of musicians and producers who are gradually building up a library of new music adding to it every week and continually recording new artists to widen our collection and sound.
We have been continually surprised by the help and support from the industry and have already had the pleasure of witnessing our system in place in several venues. We welcome any questions and feedback to continually refine our system and model. Please feel free to ask up anything using the above contact form.
