“I’ve been a longtime fan of Polo & Pan and genuinely enjoyed their records and live shows long before this collaboration came together,” DBNR CEO and founder Alexander Vandriessche said in a statement. “We’ve always had a lot of respect for what JET built and how they approach artists globally, and with Polo & Pan and this new partnership, there was a very organic fit between both teams and it felt like the right project to start building something together.”
“We are thrilled for the opportunity to both work with one of the most creative and talented artists in the world, one which we’ve admired for years, and to partner with one of the best managers in our industry, our dear friend Alexander Vandriessche (DBNR),” added JET co-founder Tyler Goldberg. “This moment has been a long time in the making, and we are excited to see this partnership launch and explore great projects together.”
DBNR’s roster currently includes Belgian techno star Charlotte de Witte, Italian producer Enrico Sangiuliano, Belgian indie pop band Bazart and Belgian artist/producer/songwriter Oliver Symons. JET’s roster also includes Blond:ish, Justice, Foster the People, Sam Gellaitry, Neil Frances and WhoMadeWho.
In 2024, music investment enterprise Firebird acquired a stake in JET Management, which was founded in 2020 by Goldberg and John Scholz, both formerly of C3 Management. The acquisition added to Firebird’s management portfolio that also includes Coran Capshaw‘s Red Light Management, which represents roughly 400 artists including Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Brandi Carlile and Chris Stapleton; Mick Management, which specializes in independent singer-songwriters such as Maggie Rogers and Hamilton Leithauser; Transgressive Records; U.K.-based electronic label Defected Records; and Goodlife Management, home to artists including Fred again.. and The Blessed Madonna.
