Independent digital distributor Zebralution has confirmed new artist and label deals.
Labels 8 Head, Casa Nueve and Folded Music, along with independent artist Bawo, have all signed international agreements with Zebralution’s London-based division.
The UK office is overseen by the company’s head of international business development William Hallström.
8 Head is a new imprint launched by UK underground electronic producer Gerry Read, who is best known for It’ll All Be Over, as well as various collaborations with German producer DJ Koze.
The new label is home to a curated selection of releases, and the label will be announcing several new signings in the near future.
Casa Nueve is an independent record label and global creative studio based between London and Barcelona. Artists on the label include alt-pop act Uma, who has collaborated with Puma Blue, Nilufer Yanya and Rosie Lowe, and Salpa, a Catalonia-based artist blending jazz, indie and electronic music.
