Indie label Ninja Tune has announced the expansion of its International Department with new staff now based in Germany and France.
In Germany, Ninja Tune will be joining the Prenzlauer Berg office of British independents Domino and Mute from February 2016. Domino and Mute have shared their offices since summer 2010.
Max Brudi, product manager for both Domino and Mute since May 2011 will now assume sole responsibility as label manager for Ninja Tune and Mute.
Max will oversee all Mute releases and will be responsible for the coordination of all Ninja Tune releases, working closely with the UK’s Ninja Tune HQ as well as their long-term German partners Rough Trade Distribution GmbH/GoodToGo GmbH and Verstärker Medienmarketing GmbH.
Meanwhile, in France, Ninja Tune has employed Zineb Benomar as label manager. Working alongside Ninja Tune's distribution partner PIAS France, Zineb will oversee all Ninja Tune releases. She will continue in her role in the same capacity for fellow, UK-based record label Cooking Vinyl.
Previously Zineb worked as a product manager for French independent label Naïve for eight years followed by two years working with Marianne Faithfull’s management team. She also co-manages XL-signed duo Ibeyi.
Ninja Tune’s international department in London has also expanded, with Anna-Mari Trlin joining the team as assistant to International manager Nicky Wain.
Last year, Ninja Tune’s Matt Black and Jonathan More (aka Coldcut) and label manager Peter Quicke were recipients of the AIM Innovator Award.
