MELODIE DER WELT has signed a long term co-publishing agreement with the ANTSTREET RECORDS label. Both parties agreed on an exclusive deal sealed with belated handshakes during Popkomm 2010 in Berlin on the airfield of the former Tempelhof airport.
MDW’s A&R manager John Ruhrmann is very pleased about this deal: “Antstreet Record’s managing director Carmelo Lo Porto is a dedicated music entrepreneur with the right sense of A&R who represents exactly the indie spirit much appreciated by us.
With Antstreet’s 360° commercializing of cool guitar music from both Germany and abroad we were able to win a completely autarchic partner in the field of rock.”
Adds Carmelo Lo Porto: “Melodie der Welt is the appropriate partner for us with an excellent long standing knowledge of our business who will give us professional support in all publishing matters. We do look forward to working together and to great new releases.”

Effective immediately MELODIE DER WELT administers the music publishing activities of Olaf Höppner’s concert agency and management company WORLD CONCERTS in Braunschweig. Both parties have signed a long term agreement. Belated handshakes were made during Popkomm 2010 in Berlin beneath the eye of the law as can be seen on the photo of the signing.
Says MDW’s A&R manager John Ruhrmann: “We will publish the long running hit “Tanzen” in the newly founded Edition Olaf Höppner World Publishing and we look forward to the next enthralling song from the laboratory of the author and artist Rockstroh. Besides, due to his successful activities as an agent for many well-known artists Olaf Höppner has excellent contacts to the national as well as international music scene.”
And Olaf Höppner, CEO of World Concerts and World Publishing adds: “We are fully convinced of Melodie der Welt’s administrative services and publishing guidance. In view of the many compilation releases and exploitation fields of the music of our authors like ROCKSTROH we need a dedicated partner in the back office.”

MELODIE DER WELT proudly announces the excellent results achieved by its exclusive new authors in the first half of 2010. A&R manager John Ruhrmann comments as follows:
“Despite the difficult situation on our market with little possibility to place new product we have not only signed interesting new authors but have also been successful in reaching several good positions in our network.
Both the celebrated electro live band Bullmeister (Edition Like We Dance/Mdw) and the Mannheim based group Deine Jugend (Edition Altkönig/MdW) with their charismatic front woman and blogger Laura Carbone will sign an artist development deal with Universal Domestic Pop. Their debut albums will be released within short.
Also our songwriters entered the charts like Klaus Hanselbauer (Edition ZIS/Mdw) who wrote very funny and catchy songs together with and for the well-known comedy artist Cindy aus Marzahn who has a deal with Brainpool.
The authors of the producer team Bounce Brothers from Frankfurt just wrote a number of hip-hop songs for the new Olli Banjo album “Kopfdisco” released by Groove Attack which jumped right to pos. 15 in the Media Control chart. The authors signed a deal with Edition Yosoy/MdW only recently.
Also recently the sensational live combo act Kraftklub from Chemnitz signed a deal with Edition Beat the Rich! which Melodie der Welt publishes in cooperation with Beat Gottwald. The songs written by the phenomenal electro girl punk band The T.C.H.I.K. for their debut album “Jung, talentlos und gecastet” will be released on August 20, also by Universal Music Germany.
Long running “Tanzen” is published by us with the newly founded Edition Olaf Höppner World Publishing and we are looking forward to the next strong song from the “lab” of singer/songwriter Rockstroh.”
