JET & DBNR Sign Electronic Polo & Pan via New Partnership

In the dynamic world of music management, strategic alliances are the secret sauce for global expansion. A new partnership has just dropped, linking the LA-based management firm JET Management with the Belgium-based company DBNR, setting the stage for a wave of collaborative artistic and business endeavors.

This exciting collaboration kicks off with the inclusion of French electronic duo Polo & Pan as a new management client for both organizations. The synergy is immediate: Polo & Pan are currently on tour as the support act for JET’s client, Empire of the Sun, whose U.S. amphitheater run extends through October 8th.

The foundation of this new venture is built on mutual admiration. Alexander Vandriessche, CEO and founder of DBNR, noted that the collaboration felt like a natural fit, stemming from a long-standing appreciation for the work done by JET and the global approach to artistry. “There was a very organic fit between both teams, and it felt like the right project to start building something together,” Vandriessche stated.

Tyler Goldberg, co-founder of JET, echoed this enthusiasm, expressing excitement about working with one of the world’s most creative artists and partnering with a trusted industry leader. “This moment has been a long time in the making, and we are excited to see this partnership launch and explore great projects together,” he added.

The combined power of JET and DBNR brings together a rich tapestry of talent and expertise. DBNR’s roster features established Belgian talent, including techno star Charlotte de Witte, producer Enrico Sangiuliano, indie pop band Bazart, and artist/producer Oliver Symons.

JET manages a similarly diverse portfolio, showcasing an impressive range of global acts such as Justice, Foster the People, Sam Gellaitry, Neil Frances, and Blond:ish, among others.

The scope of their combined influence extends deep into the music investment landscape. In 2024, the music investment enterprise Firebird acquired a stake in JET Management, further solidifying the strategic importance of the partnership. This investment strengthens the portfolio that also includes management groups like Coran Capshaw’s Red Light Management (representing artists like Dave Matthews Band and Chris Stapleton) and Mick Management (specializing in singer-songwriters such as Maggie Rogers).

This alliance is more than just a business deal; it is a celebration of creative synergy, proving that when world-class talent meets strategic management, the possibilities for artistic and commercial success are limitless.
