The Brand DJTUNES.COM is the leading central European download store for DJ’s and Dance Music Fans. The platform provides a music range of more than 600,000 DRM-free titles for clubbers, DJs and music fans. Every day, more than 15,000 visitors benefit from user-friendliness, innovative features, early international releases and excellent data quality. The Company DJTUNES.COM has become internationally established as a leading provider of club and dance music downloads since its foundation in 2005. After a seed investment from the leading German early-stage investor, High-Tech Gründerfonds, in 2006, the Bochum-based company was able to win two further renowned investors with the MP3 co-inventor, Professor Dr. Karlheinz Brandenburg, and BM-T beteiligungsmanagement Thüringen GmbH. A branch office was recently established in the immediate neighbourhood of the Fraunhofer-Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), on the campus of the TU Ilmenau by Professor Dr. Brandenburg in order to promote technologically-based product innovations through DJTUNES’ own team of IT specialists. The launch of DJTUNES V.3.0 and a new hip-hop portal ‘YOMUSIC.COM’ in the fourth quarter of 2009 will constitute another important step in expanding the brand.
