Spotify Takes a Big Hit As Dow Jones Industrial Average Gets Rattled


Thursday, October 25th, 2018 |

If you’re a Spotify share hold then you probably had some serious heartburn yesterday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 600 points. In addition to yesterday’s news, over the past four months, the streaming giant has lost roughly $9 billion in market cap. No doubt a byproduct of the political instability in the United States, plus the looming global trade war, investors are taking a serious look at the American economy.

“Investors are clearly spotting weaknesses in the market, but Spotify may not be one of them; in fact, Benjamin Swinburne of Morgan Stanley is overly bullish on SPOT, a stock he believes could reach $225,” as reported by Digital Music News.

Testimonials

I first went to WMC ’87, the year I started Big Beat. It was an incredibly inspiring congregation of indie labels, DJs, artists, songwriters, producers and dance music lovers dedicated to breaking and discovering new music. WMC has been instrumental in furthering the dance and electronic cause; keeping the community connected, vital and relevant, and serving as an amazing springboard for talent. It’s a fantastic crucible for the future of dance music. Long may it live.


Craig Kallman

CEO & Co-Chairman Atlantic Records, Founder Big Beat Records

Having only missed the very first year of WMC in 1985, it was 1986-1990 that initially placed me on the map globally due to the international attendance of the entire dance music community. All throughout the 90s I was often getting written about by various high profile mags and websites for having contributed to help break many artists, DJs, producers and remixers. WMC enabled me to bring many top industry people together all under one roof, especially at Groove Jet, where house music officially met Techno in my sets and it’s all been uphill since…TBC

Miami has always been a place I’ve considered home and WMC was essential for me and the label in many ways. From showcasing our new music to keeping up with all the new artists and releases. It was the official kickoff of the year and I’m happy to see it thriving again.

Winter Music Conference was the cream of the crop of conferences. Every label owner, label A&R, DJ and artist knew they had to go network at the Fontainebleau where the conference was hosted. The conference was not only one of the most important time of the year as it relates to dance music but it was also a place where records were broken and became summer hits. Some of my best DJ memories are from the events I played during WMC in the last 20 years.
