The next Label Evolution event, in association with the Association of Independent Music (AIM), will examine the role of the record label in the post-streaming music economy.
The programme, which takes place on 1 November in Edinburgh, will provide insight and inspiration from those working across the Scottish and UK-wide music business.
Taking part are Euan Fryer, owner of Edinburgh’s Athens Of The North, which acquires the rights to vintage disco, soul and funk tracks, then uses these reissues to finance releases by new acts.
He will be joined by Charlotte Spillerova from the Phases imprint, which is home to a roster of ambient and post-classical composers and focuses on digital platforms.
Charlotte Hazell, label manager at London-based Killing Moon Records, will also attend, with an additional speaker set to be announced shortly.
The event is hosted by Born To Be Wide, and will feature presentations, discussions and an evening of socialising and DJs.
Jude McArdle, membership manager for AIM, who will introduce the evening, said: ‘In 2018, there’s no “one size fits all” for music creators and labels. These are some great examples of people thinking “outside the CD” coming up with innovative ideas on how to build their business.’
Born To Be Wide and Wide Days Festival founder, Olaf Furniss, added: ‘The last time we did an event with AIM was in 2009 when Spotify was only a few months old, there was a lot of moaning about downloads and lots of record shops were closing.
‘These days new record shops are opening, download sales are declining and lots of people in Scotland are moaning about Spotify!’
