Ferman Akgül
This collection features the solo work of Ferman Akgül, the celebrated frontman of maNga, one of Turkey's most successful and influential modern rock bands. Known for their unique fusion of Anatolian melodies, rock, and electronic elements, maNga achieved massive international recognition, winning "Best European Act" at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards and securing a second-place finish for Turkey in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.
Stepping outside his band maNga’s musical scope, Ferman's solo releases showcase his more personal artistic identity, including his introspective album "Yürüyorum İçimde" and the collaborative pop single "Dırdır."
The sound of these solo releases highlights Ferman Akgül's musical versatility.
The album "Yürüyorum İçimde" is defined by a blend of alternative rock and acoustic singer-songwriter sensibilities,
with lyrical themes that are more personal and reflective than his work with maNga.
In contrast, the single "Dırdır" is a catchy and rhythmic electropop track, particularly in its well-known duet version with pop singer İrem Derici. Together, these works represent Ferman Akgül's capacity to explore both introspective rock and accessible, collaborative pop music.
House Music With Love Catalog
.House Music With Love (HMWL) originated as an influential Swedish music blog in the early 2010s, founded by a collective of friends dedicated to discovering and sharing new electronic music. It evolved into a respected independent record label with a reputation for curating a wide spectrum of electronic sounds, from deep and atmospheric tracks to uplifting dancefloor anthems. The catalog demonstrates a broad curatorial vision, reflecting a global scene that embraces everything from the hypnotic grooves of European deep house to the intricate, soulful rhythms of Afro house.
A detailed look at the collection reveals a rich and varied sonic palette. Its foundation lies in several key areas of modern house music: emotive Melodic House & Techno, immersive Progressive House, and the warm, enveloping sounds of Deep House and Organic House. Beyond this core, the catalog explores the funk-infused energy of Nu Disco and Indie Dance, alongside more introspective moments of Downtempo and Electronica. This genre diversity makes the HMWL catalog a comprehensive resource for high-quality electronic music suited for a wide range of moods and settings.
Talent Catalog
The Talent Musikk catalog represent a defining chapter in Norwegian popular music, founded in 1972 by producer Arve Sigvaldsen. This collection features an extraordinary roster including Inger Lise Rypdal, Stein Ingebrigtsen, Gro Anita Schønn, and Rune Rudberg. What makes this catalog particularly special is "Treff" series, where these artists transformed international hits from ABBA, Smokie, and other global stars into distinctly Norwegian classics with local lyrics that resonated deeply with audiences across the country.
Through the consolidation of 16 historic labels, the catalog span far beyond pop music to encompass traditional folk, country, jazz, children's songs, and spoken-word fairy tales. With approximately 5,000 tracks across 335 releases, this collection preserves not just songs, but memories—the music that played during first road trips, family gatherings, and quiet moments of reflection. It stands as a testament to how Norwegian culture embraced and transformed the sounds of an era, creating a musical time capsule that remains deeply meaningful to generations of listeners.
Farmen / MBS Catalog
The Farmen catalog represents Norwegian independent label that operated from 1996 through the mid-2000s.
Founded by Remo Rehder and Erik Brataas as an artist-focused alternative to the mainstream, the label made music history with the release of Kaizers Orchestra's hugely successful albums "Ompa til du dør" (2001) and "Evig Pint" (2003), which stand as landmarks in modern Norwegian rock. This breakthrough enabled Farmen to build an international roster, including the award-winning blues guitarist Bjørn Berge.
The collection is defined by authentic, guitar-driven music with a strong emphasis on songwriting.
Its sound is anchored in rock, from the unique "Ompa Rock" of its flagship band to the rockabilly of Rex Rudi.
The catalog is also rich in virtuosic blues, represented by Bjørn Berge's powerful style, and the distinct singer-songwriter tradition, highlighted by the quirky and beloved Norwegian artist Tønes.
Together, these works form a vital and diverse archive of a dynamic period in modern Norwegian independent music.
C+C//Frode records Catalog
The C+C Records catalog represents an eclectic Norwegian independent label established in 1995. Rather than focusing on a single genre, the label served as a platform for a diverse range of artists, holding seminal works from the country's music history. This includes the influential archives of the legendary 1980s punk band Kjøtt and foundational hip-hop pioneers Warlocks. This historical weight is balanced with a strong presence in contemporary pop, most notably with Lene Alexandra's major hit single, "Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy Me," and the unique conceptual project Hovedøen Social Club, known for their salsa interpretations of Norwegian rock classics.
The collection is defined by its genre diversity, capturing a vibrant mosaic of modern Norwegian music. Its sound is anchored in foundational punk and rock, from the raw, politically charged energy of Kjøtt to the straightforward street punk of Snuten. Norwegian hip-hop is also a key component, featuring the classic, sample-based sound of pioneers Warlocks alongside the harder-edged style of Darkside Of The Force. This is complemented by a broad spectrum of melodic music, from the Eurodance-pop of Lene Alexandra to the introspective, American-influenced singer-songwriter craft of Karen Jo Fields and Christer Knutsen.
Elokuu
Elokuu represents a distinctive voice in Finnish hip hop, formed in 2011 through the creative collaboration of reggae artist Nopsajalka, Kenyan-Finnish rapper Juno, and producer Jonas W. Karlsson. Their unique blend of Finnish swing, jazz, and contemporary hip hop has created a sound that Finnish people still play heavily during summer months—music that captures the warmth and energy of Finnish summers.
Our catalog includes all of their albums and remixes : Including "Hääväki Saapuu" (their breakthrough debut) and
"Pöytä on Katettu" (2013). The latter peaked at number eight on the Finnish Album Chart and features summer favorites like "Tänään lähtee" and "Valvoo." These albums demonstrate Elokuu's ability to weave together traditional Finnish musical elements with modern urban sounds, creating a timeless soundtrack for Finnish summer experiences.
