London's Dirty Water Records 'Spin' Off Sister Label Partner in USA - Seite 3

"The idea is to create a select roster of artists who we fully believe in enough to launch and support in a variety of different ways worldwide, while also offering existing Dirty Water records and other products that we absolutely love, from a lot different worldwide sources, to US customers so everything can be bundled and shipped domestically", says Laurenne. "The tastemakers involved with DWR USA have kind of eclectic taste - but with a common theme of loving music that tears your face off in its awesomeness and power and leaves you on the floor. That's our goal."

PJ Crittenden says: "The club night and label started off as a small time DIY effort with, at the beginning, myself doing everything. Once Paul and our Spanish dynamo Diego came on board, with their extra skills, knowledge and experience, we were able to take things further than I'd originally imagined. With Matt's input we've grown even further. So this is the next logical move for us. From a very young age I was completely into American music - rock'n'roll, blues, soul, proper old rhythm'n'blues, sixties garage, psych, and so on, the kind of music that I see as the real deal. In that context, a US branch of Dirty Water in my eyes is exactly what we should be doing. Giving some rock'n'roll back to the place where it started!"

"These are exciting times for us!" says Paul Manchester.  "Dirty Water has already grown beyond what any of us were initially expecting, and Dirty Water Records USA is a quantum leap for us.  But this isn't just about geography - we have distribution and a large fanbase in the US - it's also about the great skills, flair, and drive that Nicole and her team bring to the table.  It's a perfect fit, and the future looks Dirty."

The new label already have five new artists and forthcoming releases poised to build up its roster and will also offer a full service agency for booking, promotion, publishing and artist representation - in addition to delivering the highest quality in new music on a variety of formats; vinyl, cassettes, digital, and CD's with Worldwide distribution from Cargo UK.
