Ultra Music Publishing formally launches new Liverpool studio set-up
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 12 July 2022
Ultra Music Publishing has formally launched its new studio set-up in Liverpool, having recently staged a week-long songwriting camp there.
The new studio facility is based within the Camp And Furnace complex in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle district. Ultra says that it will “serve songwriters and musicians” signed to both the publishing company and its sister labels Helix and Payday Records, and also provide “a hub for new talent discovery and development in the north of England”.
Adds the company’s Founder and CEO Patrick Moxey: “Liverpool has always been home to a vibrant and groundbreaking club culture and has produced some of the world’s most influential songwriters and musicians. This makes it the perfect place for us to launch our first studio in the north of England, an area that is still under-served when it comes to facilities of this kind”.
“We have already experienced an amazing vibe across the Liverpool music community who are excited to get involved with what we’re doing”, he goes on, “and we hope to tap into that creative energy and talent. Our recent writing camp, which helped launched the studio, saw writers from across the UK come together, was hugely successful and is something we will definitely repeat on a regular basis”.
While the Ultra dance music label was fully acquired by Sony Music – with which it had a long business partnership – at the start of the year, the Ultra music publishing company remains independent, and announced an alliance with Warner Chappell in March.
Warner Music is also working with the other Moxey founded labels, the new dance music centric Helix and the long-established hip hop operation Payday Records.
