Press release from Grand and Lafayette
Sandcastle Music is proud to announce a new publishing relationship with renowned Australian independent record label, Elefant Traks. The new partnership will see Sandcastle Music publish the entire Elefant Traks catalogue and exclusively represent their master recordings for synchronisation with film, television and advertising.
Sandcastle Music was formed in January 2009 by industry veterans Rob Scott and Chris Cudlipp and is the publishing, recording and licensing arm of the highly successful Sandcastle Studios, which produces sound and music for film, television and advertising. Among other exploits, Sandcastle Music sub-publishes the legendary Warp catalogue (Jamie Liddell, Born Ruffians, Lonelady and Pivot) and represents local artists such as Jen Cloher, Abbe May and Leroy Lee.
Eager to embark on the new alliance with Elefant Traks, Director of Sandcastle Music Rob Scott said,
"This is a great partnership and we are proud to represent their catalogue. Elefant Traks have a great ethos and artistic sensibility. They deliberately set out to make challenging and stimulating music and achieve this in spades."
Tim Levinson (Urthboy), managing director of Elefant Traks is equally enthusiastic about the joint venture,
"We at Elefant Traks pride ourselves on providing complete support for our artists, from releasing albums to touring and psycho-therapy. Until Sandcastle Music came along, we weren’t satisfied with the publishing we could offer. We’re very excited to be working with them for sync opportunities as they’re a friendly business with great experience and passion, and an understanding of our music".
Elefant Traks is Australia's leading exponent of uncompromising hip hop, beats and electronica with over 50 releases, from acclaimed local artists such as The Herd, Urthboy, Horrorshow, Unkle Ho and Hermitude. Since their beginning in 1998, this marks the first time that Elefant Traks has joined forces with a publisher.
Sandcastle Music is looking forward to showcasing the Elefant Traks repertoire in Australia and beyond. For more information see the websites listed below.
