Universal Germany relaunches electro imprint
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 20 October 2010
Elsewhere in the Universal empire, the German division of the major will this week relaunch its electro-focused Zeitgeist label at the Amsterdam Dance Event. The dance imprint has been dormant for a few years, but will start signing new electro talent again, mainly in Germany, but with an eye to international releases. Sitting under Universal Germany’s Domestic Pop unit, the new label will be headed up by A&Rs Manuel Mantu Overbeck and Tom Keil.
Universal Germany’s Johannes Cordes told CMU: “I am really looking forward to the relaunch of Zeitgeist. I am convinced that Manuel Mantu Overbeck and Tom Keil will re-establish the label as the top name for electronic music”.
Keil himself added: “For years, Zeitgeist played a significant role in shaping dance music and I am looking forward to continuing that tradition together with the Universal team”.
