    \n\t\u201cThe launch of Spinnin\u2019 Records Germany marks a pivotal moment in our strategy to bridge the gap between regional excellence and global stardom,\u201d explains Niels Walboomers<\/strong>, president, Warner Music Central Europe and Spinnin\u2019 Records. \u201cBy uniting the heritage of Spinnin\u2019 alongside the creative energy and dance scene of the GSA region, we are creating something special.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe first release is \u201cAwake Tonight,\u201d a dramatic, strings-powered track that debuted live at\u00a0Ultra Miami, and marks the first collaboration\u00a0by Guetta and Sia in 15 years, since\u00a0\u201cTitanium.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tWith co-founders Roger de Graaf<\/strong>\u00a0and Eelko van Kooten<\/strong> at the helm, Spinnin\u2019 Records opened for business in the Netherlands in 1999. The record company was a cornerstone of the EDM era, with a roster including Afrojack and Martin Garrix, Ti\u00ebsto, Martin Solveig, Nicky Romero, Sander van Doorn, and others. The company\u2019s business structure also includes a slew of artist imprints including Ti\u00ebsto\u2019s Musical Freedom and David Guetta\u2019s Future Rave. In 2019, the label focused on international expansion, making inroads in the Brazilian market by signing Brazilian producer Alok and launching Spinnin\u2019 Records Asia.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cIn the beginning, we wanted to become the No. 1 dance company in the Netherlands,\u201d de Graaf told Billboard<\/em> in 2019. \u201cThen we wanted to become the No. 1 dance company in Europe, and then the No. 1 dance company in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tIts success caught the attention of Warner Music, which acquired\u00a0the label in 2017\u00a0in a deal reportedly worth more than $100 million. This transition saw van Kooten depart the label, with the exec going on to launch Ledo, a global digital distribution platform that partners artists with social media influencers. De Graaf\u00a0retired in 2024.<\/p>\n

    \n\tBy launching Spinnin\u2019 Records Germany, comments Marco Pantuso<\/strong>, marketing director, Spinnin\u2019 Records, \u201cwe\u2019re evolving our ecosystem to ensure that the talent in the genre across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria has a direct pipeline to our global fanbases and artists. This is a world-class platform designed to amplify club culture on an international scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tAdds Kevin Segler<\/strong>, dance marketing director, Warner Music Central Europe: \u201cWe believe in the power of local expertise and the impact of a global network. With the teams in Hamburg, Berlin, and Amsterdam working in lockstep, we\u2019re providing a unique proposition for artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
