City Slang opens US office, as label celebrates 25th anniversary
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 18 September 2015
German record label City Slang has announced the opening of a North American office as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. As well as the new base in Bloomington, Indiana, the company also has offices in Berlin, Paris and London, the latter of which opened two years ago.
The new US base will be overseen by Secretly Group’s former General Manager Kevin Dune, who says: “I’ve long admired the art-first, truly artist-friendly approach propagated from City Slang in Berlin. I couldn’t be more pleased to be presented with the opportunity and responsibility of cultivating the same path for our artists in the Americas”.
Meanwhile City Slang founder Christof Ellinghaus adds: “I can’t believe we didn’t do this much earlier. If only Kevin had been available to us ten years ago, we would be sitting on a mountain of Grammys and returns by now”.
Upcoming releases from the label include albums from Naytronix, Cristobal And The Sea, Anna Von Hausswolff, Tindersticks and Junior Boys.
