ONE MORE TUNE

4th November 2010, London: Warner Music UK today announced a new imprint, One More Tune (OMT), which will sign and nurture dance talent from the UK and around the world. The imprint will focus on mainstream and genre single chart success and developing long-term artist careers through expanded rights partnerships. OMT’s mission is to build on Warner Music’s impressive dance heritage and repertoire, that includes artists such as Pete Tong, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, Goldie, Utah Saints and Pendulum, while extending the company’s recent dance compilation success, including Rhino UK’s releases under the Gatecrasher and Cream banners.

OMT will be headed up by Anton Partridge, who will report to Christian Tattersfield, CEO, Warner Music UK as well as Dan Chalmers, Managing Director, Rhino UK on compilation activity. Partridge worked for nine years at MCA/Universal Music in national radio promotions and A&R, signing artists such as Livin’ Joy and E-Motion. He then formed a management and production company, Indirect Music, finding success with LUCID and Emmie, amongst others. In 2005, Partridge set up AFP Management & Publishing, which has partnered with artists such as The Shapeshifters, Gramaphonedzie and Donnie Sloan. AFP Management will continue to exist alongside Partridge’s OMT responsibilities. Until recently, he had also been consulting at Sony/ATV Publishing on electronic projects such as Empire of The Sun and Bless Beats, best known for his collaborations with Wiley.

Partridge has appointed Mark Hadfield as Label Manager, the Ivor Novello-nominated producer, DJ, re-mixer and A&R executive who has collaborated with a wide array of artists including Armand van Helden,
