Shazam has announced its latest partnership with a music retailer: dance-focused Juno Records. It’ll be hoovering up Juno’s catalogue of music, including a fair amount of vinyl-only releases. “Juno has the world’s most comprehensive catalogue and widest source of genres in dance music and we are very excited to form this exclusive partnership with them, especially as it includes vinyl,” says Shazam’s VP of music and content Will Mills. “Crucially some of the most important and exciting new music is released on vinyl first before later hitting digital.” It’s not the first such partnership for Shazam: a year ago it inked what was then described as an “exclusive” relationship with dance downloads store Beatport, adding its catalogue to Shazam’s database for identification purposes (Bulletin, 7-Feb-13).
