So what's happening with Prime's old labels?

[MARKEG]

Where have they all gone and when will we see them all back in action. I heard Triple are taking loads of them on. Any news anyone?

[Dustin Zahn]

taken from CPL Distribution site:
"CLR, CLAU, PRIMATE, INTEC, BUSH, HARDGROOVE, BOMBAY, RECYCLED LOOPS, SLS, SWAYZAK, ZYNC,CIRCULATION, SOLEMUSIC, SWAG, TOKO, VICIOUS GROOVE, XVX, SUPERBRA, SERIAL KILLER, NORDIC TRAX, CLICKTRACKS and many more."

Now they say these labels are exclusive...but I don't know if this is just for germany or for all over the place...

[dfndr]

i heard that if they have no other to turn to they are gone...
marco bailey turned to some firm called "bank"for distribution...
others turned to neutone...

[dfndr]

since prime was killed german guys are on the front now...
germans are taking over!!!

[duncandisorderly]

uk distribution of most of the old prime labels will be by a company called zenit (sound familiar?) which will start quite soon (so my sources tell me). also jel ford (jericho) may be setting up a distribution company too if rumours are to be believed.....

Drumcode have gone to EFA in Germany anyway, I think I remember Bush having gone to Intergroove before Prime going bust. Noise Music (Renato Cohen and Anderson Noise) have gone to Neuton.

What about Umek and Ben Sims, where are they off to?

[Dustin Zahn]

Read above: sims and umek are off to CPL. I would have guessed Marco Bailey went to N.E.W.S. so thats pretty surprising to me. You're right, Bush just went to Intergroove previously. Jel Ford worked at Prime anyway, so he's probably one of the dudes behind the Prime spin-off we've been hearing about. That sucks about drumcode going to EFA, because its expensive for us to get their stuff here for some reason.

As for the whole Zenit thing, that sounds interesting. I would have figured ELP would have taken it upon themselves to distribute their companies own labels...but I don't know if they'd really want to start a distribution company of their own. If they do though...look out for more clubby techno. :dontevengothere:

unsure though

Drumcode going to EFA is bad news alright as they use SRD for the UK and Ireland, who are one of the worst distributors to deal with, they (SRD) are very disorganised. If it is the case that Umek and Sims etc. are with CPL exclusively then they really could take off as a distributor.

Didn't hear about Jel Ford starting something but I guess that adds up, he's also starting up a new DJ agency with Jon Terry after Billy Nasty left Thermin as far as I know.

after Billy Nasty left Thermin as far as I know.

I'm suprised about that - I thought billy owned theremin?

that's what i thought too, and he did own Theremin so I'm not sure what the buzz was... apparently he's joined Dave Clarke's agency.

pornographic and m.b. electronic are with n.e.w.s from what i understand.
