Background Music for Surabaya Businesses
Indonesia’s second city, with a substantial hotel, mall and corporate base — and the same obligations as Jakarta.
Commercial Music in Surabaya
Surabaya is Indonesia’s second-largest city and East Java’s commercial centre, with a mature hotel, shopping centre and office sector serving both business and domestic leisure travel.
Permenkum 27/2025 introduced provincial units to extend collection infrastructure beyond Jakarta. For venues outside the capital, that means the practical likelihood of engagement has risen, not that the obligations changed.

Music Licensing in Surabaya
Collective rights management in Indonesia runs through LMKN, which collects royalties for commercial use and distributes to its member LMK. The framework rests on Law No. 28 of 2014, Government Regulation No. 56 of 2021, and Minister of Law Regulation No. 27 of 2025.
Commercial music engages five separate rights: public performance of the composition, public performance of the sound recording, reproduction of the sound recording, recording and master rights, and publishing rights for commercial use. Collective management addresses the first two.
MUSICVYBE covers all five in a single subscription. Surabaya licensing details →

Frequently Asked Questions
Do venues outside Jakarta have the same obligations?+
Yes. The framework is national. Permenkum 27/2025 introduced provincial units to extend collection infrastructure, but the obligations themselves apply uniformly across Indonesia.
Which verticals does MUSICVYBE serve in Surabaya?+
Hotels, restaurants, cafés, shopping centres and offices — all named among the commercial-use categories under Permenkum 27/2025.
Do we still need an LMKN licence if we use MUSICVYBE?+
Our position is that no collective licence is required for the music we deliver, because the catalogue is directly licensed and sits outside LMKN and LMK repertoire. Music from other sources is assessed separately.
Who is responsible for royalty payment?+
The event organiser or business owner. Permenkum 27/2025 states this directly, and it was reinforced by the Supreme Court in the Agnez Mo and Ari Bias dispute.
