DEALS
Big Machine Label Group and Blac Noize Recordings have partnered to jointly sign hip hop and R&B acts worldwide. “To have partners and a distributor that can help us put something up within 24 hours without any question [or] pushback was very important”, says Blac Noize’s Chioke ‘Stretch’ McCoy. “As far as the majors, we love them to death, but sometimes they’re a little bloated and we plan to be thinner and more efficient”.
Ingrooves has signed global distribution deals with Indian musicians Tony Kakkar and Ammy Virk. The agreement with Virk also includes future releases from his Burfi Music record label. “Ammy Virk and Tony Kakkar are extraordinary creative talents, and we are honoured to be a part of their creative journeys”, says Amit Sharma, Ingrooves Country Manager for India. “The independent music market in India is thriving, and we look to empower these artists to succeed locally and find opportunities to grow their success into new territories”.

I love the song and am so happy with how it came out. Our voices work really well together. It’s a song about distance and how energy always connects us”.
Yendry has released new track ‘Ki-Ki’. “The song is about how being independent and making money requires hard work, so most of the time we’re not free to just enjoy life, our families and friends”, she says. “It’s good to make ourselves unavailable in order to take care of us and celebrate life”.

GIGS & TOURS
Gogol Bordello have announced a Ukraine benefit show at Electric Brixton on 16 Jul. “London always responded raucously to what we do, perhaps because of its own class struggles”, says Ukraine-born frontman Eugene Hütz. “Punk and hardcore is like a cultural-humanitarian corridor between all countries that deals with those issues, and a lot of it developed and grew muscles here. We are always excited to energise that corridor”. Tickets on sale here.
