Lava Records renews Universal alliance
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 18 October 2012
Lava Records, the US label originally set up by Jason Flom in partnership with Warner Music, has announced it is renewing its partnership with Universal subsidiary Republic. Flom reclaimed Lava in 2009, after departing Warner Music in 2005 for a brief stint at EMI. It was when the label relaunched under Flom’s control that the Republic deal was originally struck.
Confirming that partnership had been renewed, Flom told reporters yesterday: “Republic is the perfect place for Lava to grow and expand. Already, we’ve solidified the label as a crucial presence in the modern landscape. We’re going to continue pushing the envelope together and bringing some great music to the mainstream”.
Universal Republic chief Monte Lipman added: “Lava is an incredible partner for us. Jason’s commitment to finding and developing talent remains paramount to the label’s success. We’ve always shared passion for breaking new acts, and working together has been immensely rewarding”.
