The global music distribution and marketing company Ingrooves have inked a distribution deal with Dirty Hit, the independent record label that launched the careers of artists including The 1975, Wolf Alice and Pale Waves.
The new deal was announced today (Tuesday) and signifies the development of Dirty Hit’s relationship with Ingrooves/Universal Music Group that will boost the label’s international presence.
Over the last decade Dirty Hit have sold millions of records and it repertoire has been recognised at the BRITs, Grammy’s, Ivor Novello's, Mercury's, Music Week Awards, AIM and the A&R Awards.
Jamie Oborne, founder and chief executive, Dirty Hit Records, says: ‘We have had a long working relationship with Ingrooves, stretching back nearly a decade. Bob Roback and his team at Ingrooves have built one of the most sophisticated distribution operations in the world and I’m excited about this new era for our two companies.
‘Similarly, our ties with Universal Music Group run deep, particularly with David Joseph (Chairman and chief executive UMG UK/Ireland) and John Janick (Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M) who were early supporters of our label and artists.
‘I am excited to continue working the next The 1975 album with the Polydor and Interscope teams. UMG’s acquisition of Ingrooves is a perfect marriage of Dirty Hit’s two core partners and so this deal with Ingrooves, whose footprint is expanding, feels like a natural evolution as we continue to grow. I’d like to thank Sir Lucian Grainge and Boyd Muir for their continued belief in and support for Dirty Hit.’
Bob Roback, chief executive, Ingrooves, comments: ‘In Dirty Hit, Jamie has created an incredible launching pad for a new generation of artists. We have long been partners with Jamie on a variety of his releases and are thrilled to be expanding our partnership as he looks to grow Dirty Hit around the world.’
