- It’s absolutely fantastic to be part of this, the Chinese government ”opens” up in a broader way for western music. Of course there are some bureaucratic and political hindrance in the way for the development still to be resolved but every part agrees on to multitude western music in China. I’m extremely proud of being part of this front line collaboration, exiting! – Anders “Theo” Theander

More label news: We were approached by Locomotive Music a while ago for distribution in USA and it all ended up with a label-license on our entire roster. It is a great set-up in the US where RYKO DISTRIBUTION is a well established and praised distribution company and Locomotive Music takes care of all promotion and coordination. Our first releases will be out in May 2006 !

January 31 , 2006 - ROASTINGHOUSE RECORDS / PLAYGROUND MUSIC SCANDINAVIA 
In 2005 we proudly launched our label ROASTINGHOUSE RECORDS together with label holder ZYX MUSIC (Germany) distributed by ROUGH TRADE for Germany, Austria and Switzerland with several single and album releases in the pop, pop/rock genre with great feedback. We’ve received several proposals to expanding our territories, so the story continues… 

In February 2006, ROASTINGHOUSE RECORDS will have its first releases in Scandinavia distributed and promoted by PLAYGROUND MUSIC. -We are so exited to launch our own label in Scandinavia as well of course, and to do this with our good friends at Playground (just a block away from PG headoffice in Malmö) is such a privilige and we hope to have great success together in the near future”, says Anders “Theo” Theander.

Not only Scandinavia is in the deal, so this is the ROASTINGHOUSE RECORDS distribution/licensing network through PLAYGROUND MUSIC: Scandinavia (Playground Music), Poland/Bulgaria (Magic Records/Universal Music), Ukraine (Odyssey Records), Russia/CIS (Soyuc/Dance Paradise), Greece/Cyprus (Sony BMG Greece), Australia/NZ/South Africa (Big Records, owned by the former MD of Jive Zomba).
