KUVO And The International Nightlife Association Sign Royalty Reporting Partnership
The deal routes KUVO's tracking into an association whose certification program already requires music recognition technology, which is how a venue-level tool becomes the reporting layer that royalty collection passes through.

AlphaTheta announced that KUVO has partnered with the International Nightlife Association, a body representing more than 15,000 nightlife establishments through its member organizations. INA will connect KUVO with clubs through its member network, so more venues can use music recognition to report what gets played. KUVO carries a library of more than 200 million tracks, reports a recognition rate above 92%, and is used at more than 160 venues.
The partnership gives KUVO access to INA's member network rather than a single chain of clubs. INA president Joaquim Boadas de Quintana said music recognition technology is a mandatory requirement in the association's Triple Excellence in Nightlife certification program for venues seeking the International Nightlife Acoustic Quality certification, which is the practical reason the two sides fit together.
KUVO's adopters already include Hï Ibiza, [UNVRS], Pacha Ibiza, Ministry of Sound, Paradiso, The Warehouse Project, Ivy, and Carousel. The service previously ran as "KUVO powered by DJ Monitor" and now uses the shorter name after the acquisition of DJ Monitor's music recognition technology.
