Digital Media Distribution service Yangaroo signed agreements with independent digital distributor IRIS and artist development program A&R Select to provide their member artists and labels with digital distribution. The deals cover the US and Canada.

Under the agreement, IRIS Distribution's member artists and labels will have access to Yangaroo's DMDSDirect, which allows them to choose a package of key stations in a given radio format or genre, pay by credit card, and have their music distributed digitally to radio stations throughout the United States.

A&R Select's artists and bands will be able to use DMDS to digitally and securely distribute their music and promotional materials throughout North America in the same manner as major record labels using DMDS.
