GEMA Explained
Why submit a setlist to GEMA?
GEMA is Germany's performing rights organisation. Setlists ensure that composers and songwriters are compensated for their music being played – and in certain cases, you as a DJ benefit directly.
Standard DJ Gig
You play other artists' tracks at a club or event. The venue or organiser pays GEMA licensing fees as a flat rate – no setlist required from you. Royalties are distributed using statistical models rather than your actual tracklist.
DJ Live Act / Own Works
You perform as a live act, playing original compositions or live remixes. Setlist submission is legally required – and you benefit directly: if your works are registered with GEMA, you receive royalty payments for every performance.
Concert-Style Events
Festivals or headline events where the DJ performance has the character of a concert. GEMA can then distribute income directly to the composers and producers of the tracks you played – fair pay for everyone in the music ecosystem.
Who benefits?
- ✓Composers & producers – receive royalties for every track played
- ✓Lyricists & songwriters – get their share of the collected fees
- ✓Music publishers – receive their portion of the distribution
- ✓DJs with GEMA membership who performed their own registered works
How does it work?
The event organiser pays GEMA licensing fees based on event type and attendance. GEMA then distributes these as royalties to rights holders – but only if it knows which works were played. Without a setlist, distribution falls back to statistical averages.
Who is responsible? Primarily the event organiser – but this obligation can be delegated to the performing DJ.
