International Sampler Disc 2010

Tags:, , , , , , , ,

Horus Music is of a few labels in the Midlands that does travel each year to the many and varied music industry gatherings such as MIDEM, SXSW, Popkomm, Dubai Sound City as well as attend international trade missions to countries like Japan.  The cost of attending each of these events is high which makes this out of the reach of many talented musicians, so we have decided this year for the first time we are going to put together a very special disc that we will take to all these events in 2010. The disc will last for the year, a few thousand will be pressed and we will ensure the disc is put in to the hands of people from record labels, music publishers, distributors, festival organisers, promotions companies, booking agents, festival owners, importers, journalists and just about anyone you can think of who works within the music industry. 

We do need to have this disc completed by the 17th November 2009 as there is a lot of work in ensuring quality of audio tracks, designing the packaging to make it appeal to industry folk and getting the discs manufactured. 

What do we need?  We are asking for a small contribution to the manufacturing of the discs (in which you will receive some copies for your own use).  We will also need from you a signed mechanical waiver as this is a promotional product for your benefit, and a high quality master wav file.  These discs are not sold.

Any questions?  Please drop us a line via the contact form on this site.

X-Factor finalist Niki Evans (signed to Gotham Records) who was mentored by Louis Walsh releases her brand new single this week (21st September 2009). 

Since the X-Factor, Niki has made a name for herself not only as a solo artist touring the entire length of the UK but also as a West End Performer.  The single is a release to a Donna Summer’s hit “I Feel Love” and is only available on iTunes.  With great support from all the papers including The Telegraph and The Mirror along with an appearance on the BBC Breakfast show this release is a great run up to Niki’s album in the near future.

Horus Music is the exclusive distributor for both Niki Evans and Gotham Records.  If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
