SOULFOOD

Success in the music industry requires expertise, consistency and, not least, flexibility, as this sector has gone through a number of extreme and rapid changes during the past ten years.

Founded in 2002, Soulfood Music has developed to become one of Germany’s three largest independent distributors during the most difficult years the industry has experienced so far. With more than 100 labels under on its books and a genre-transcending roster which includes a wide range of musical directions – from metal/rock through pop, urban, re-issue and jazz to world music – Soulfood Music has become a major network in the German music landscape. 
Along with CD releases, the Hamburg-based company also offers distribution channels for music and film DVDs, Blu-rays and merchandise.

The fact that Soulfood Music has grown to be one of the largest independent distributors during the most challenging times ever faced in the industry can be put down to the many years of experience its two founders, Georg Schmitz and Jochen Richert, and their team look back on. Between 1990 and 1998, they both worked for the record company, Intercord, before moving on to Edel GmbH, where they were in charge of developing the independent distribution company, Connected. When Soulfood Music was launched in 2002, Schmitz and Richert knew what the industry and the zeitgeist demanded of independent suppliers.

Soulfood Music provides a global distribution network and, alongside classical distribution deals, it offers individually tailored models, keeping abreast of the times and supplying an answer to the changing and increasingly formidable demands of today’s music industry.
