Polo & Pan Sign With JET Management and DBNR as Two Firms Launch Partnership
French electronic duo Polo & Pan have signed with Los Angeles-based JET Management and Belgium's DBNR (Debonair), a deal that also marks the launch of a broader partnership between the two management companies (Billboard).
The agreement places Polo & Pan — the Parisian pair known for globe-trotting, melodic electronic music — under the joint management of JET co-founders Tyler Goldberg and John Scholz and DBNR founder Alexander Vandriessche. DBNR first confirmed the signing on its Instagram account on 13 August, noting it applies for 2026 (DBNR Instagram). Billboard published further details of the partnership on 17 August.
For Polo & Pan, the signing extends a relationship already in motion. The duo have been on tour as the support act for Empire of the Sun, a JET Management client whose U.S. amphitheatre run runs through 8 October (Billboard).
The partnership pairs two rosters with largely complementary strengths. JET, founded in 2020 by Goldberg and Scholz after both left C3 Management, looks after acts including Justice, Foster the People, Blond:ish, Sam Gellaitry, Neil Frances and WhoMadeWho. DBNR, based in Belgium, manages Charlotte de Witte, Enrico Sangiuliano, Bazart, and Oliver Symons — a roster with deep roots in European electronic and indie scenes.
Both founders offered statements on the collaboration. Vandriessche pointed to the opportunity to expand both companies' reach across artistic and business projects. Goldberg echoed that framing, according to Billboard.
JET also carries institutional backing. In 2024, music investment enterprise Firebird acquired a stake in the management company (Billboard). Firebird's broader management portfolio includes Red Light Management, founded by Coran Capshaw, along with Mick Management, Transgressive Records, Defected Records and Goodlife Management — a cluster of firms spanning rock, electronic and independent-label operations.
What stands out here is the geography. JET brings a North American foothold; DBNR brings continental Europe. Polo & Pan, whose music draws on sounds from across the Mediterranean, West Africa and Latin America, sit at a natural intersection of both markets. For fans, the deal could translate into wider touring reach and more coordinated release campaigns across territories — though the companies have not announced specific plans beyond the signing.
The announcement arrives during a busy stretch for Polo & Pan, who are wrapping their run with Empire of the Sun just as the management transition takes effect for 2026.
