SLINKY DIGITAL & THE RECOVERWORLD GROUP ANNOUNCE MERGER
Two of trance musics biggest names, Slinky & Recoverworld, have joined forces in a new joint venture deal.
Boasting 13 massive years as one the planets biggest club brands, Slinky have constantly lead with innovation either with its 3D club tours, it’s own online radio station, www.slinky.fm and the worlds first club brand to launch an iPhone app being just some of them.
Releasing music through it’s own label has been something the brand have been doing for a number of years through its Slinky Digital Imprint. With this merger however, Slinky drive forward it’s desire to push the brand ever forward to a ever expanding global market. The Recoverworld group will be taking over the marketing and distribution of the label whilst Slinky retain control on A & R ensuring the vision it has progresses forward into the next decade.
Recoverworld, owned by Chris Hampshire, has been one of the leading lights in trance music for over a decade, hosting stalwart labels such as Discover, Discover Dark & Kill The Lights with DJ / Producers such as John O’Callaghan, Sean Tyas, John Askew, Matt Hardwick, Activa, Ehren Stowers & Sly One Vs Jurrane all producing for his army of labels on a regular basis.
The joining forces now means that Slinky Digital will increase it’s digital release output to one every three weeks and will include at least 2 physical albums a year, either in a “Live As” format during its global touring or as a soon to be confirmed global series.
Slinky Director Lee Haslam stated “This move is a really exciting one for Slinky. It really drives forward our desire to push the brand ever forward and nurture new & existing talent on a global scale, putting the brand firmly in the faces of every trance music lover on the planet. The increase of our musical output and indeed our album activity has been a priority of mine for some time, so to work with Chris and his superb team is something that I am really looking forward to, as should the Slinky faithful. Exciting times ahead!”
Chris Hampshire added, "We are delighted to welcome Slinky on board. This ties in perfectly with our recent expansion to new premises and the opportunity to take on board and help to develop the musical output of one of the worlds leading dance music brand names is exciting to say the least".
