Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

If dance has become the pop music of the '90s, as someclaim, maybe it's because the genre has become increas-ingly popular in Europe, and is now appreciated by awider audience than ever.

An unknown 12 inch on a white label given to 500 DJs atthe Amsterdam Dance Event or at Miami's Winter Confer-ence tentatively makes its club debut, and then, a few weekslater, it's all over the place. Such was the success enjoyedlast year by Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You.

Tracks with a touch of trance or techno, a burst of bigbeat, or a dash of drum'n'bass have been spicing up chartsand playlists throughout Europe for months. There havebeen some unexpected crossover hits-Armand Van Helden'sYou Don't Know Me (TK) or Bob Marley Vs. FunkstarDeluxe's Sun Is Shining, to name but a few-some tradi-tional Eurodance acts (Modern Talking), an Italian revival(Eiffel 65, Ann Lee) and the usual novelty act (Lou Bega).

While in the US dance music is ghettoised on radio; inEurope it is a genre in its own right. Radio stations suchas Kiss 100 in London and Fun Radio in Paris operatespecific dance formats, and there has been a much wideracceptance of the genre by mainstream stations (check outthe current playlists of London's Capital FM or Spain'sLos 40 Principales).

As dance tracks keep lyrics to a minimum, or are rarelyin national languages, they are not restricted by culturalboundaries and travel well within Europe. Programmersall around Europe are constantly on the prowl for the lat-est dance music developments,eager to catch up with what's big onthe dancefloor.

The introduction in this week'sMusic & Media of the first pan-European dance chart reflects thegrowing significance of dance as adominant musical genre, andacknowledges the need for a globaltool to spot new trends. For labelsand stations alike, music will mostcertainly sound better with it.

RTL tightens music policyby Remi Bouton

PARIS - The famously wide musicalscope of French full -service networkRTL might be narrowing just a little.

The station is reducing its weeklyplaylist-one of the biggest inEurope-from 120 to 100 titles. "Whatwe play will now have more impact asa result of increasingthe spins, particular-ly for new talent,"says RTL artisticand music directorAlain Tibolla.

"Before we madethis decision, somenew talents wereaired only once aweek. Under the newsystem, we will playfewer new titles but we will play whatwe do select two or three times aweek," he adds. The highest rotationat the moment on the station is stillextremely light-six times a week forestablished acts.

Tibolla says: "I have alreadyinformed some record companies[about the change]. If they are wor-

ried about RTL becoming slightlymore narrow, they should consolethemselves with the fact that, whenwe do support a new act, we can do itproperly."

According to RTL VP and pro-gramming manager Philippe Labro,revenues at CLT-UFA's French opera-tions are up 21% on the first eight

months of1999 com-pared withthe sameperiod in1998. "Onthe whole,we aredoing well,particular-ly at RTL.These good

figures are also the result of bringingour sales house IP inside CLT-UFA,"he adds.

Labro is optimistic about RTL'sfuture going into the next millenni-um. "We have been France's leadingnetwork for almost 18 years, andtoday we still have a clear lead. Fullservice stations as a whole have sta-

bilised their loss-es comparedwith the musicnetworks."

However, theRTL audience

is getting older, according to Medi-ametrie. The French ratings institutenow calculates that over half of RTL'slisteners are over 50, whereas only14.7% are 15-34. Mediametrie now sur-veys 11-15 year olds (M&M, June 26),but the results for this demographicare not included in the official pub-lished figures. If they were, accordingto one source, CHR network NRJwould be snapping hard at RTL's heels.

TV, Internet ventures for Europe 1by Remi Bouton

PARIS - Hot on the heels ofNRJ and CLT-UFA, Europe 1Communication is the latestFrench media group toannounce an on-line musicretail presence.

"Our parent company[Lagardere] is among themain Internet and multimediaplayers in France," says Fred-eric Schlesinger, managingdirector of Europe l's net-works Europe 2 and RFM. "Weare working on the develop-ment of a musical portal to belaunched within two months,in synergy with Europe l'sradio stations."

At the same time Europe l'sgold network RFM is enteringthe satellite TV arena in a dealwith broadcast group ABsat.ABsat has terminated its pre-vious contract with the NRJGroup which was providingoldies music channel NostalgieTV. ABsat CEO Claude Berda

explains: "We have signed afive year deal with Europe 1Communication and hope towork closely to seeif there are anyother opportunitiesfor further brandlink -ups."

Schlesingersays that RFM TVwill identify close-ly with the radiostation, targetingan adult audiencewith music videos,concerts, news,artist interviewsplus old clips fromthe BBC TV showTop Of The Pops.

Both RFM and Europe l'sother music network-rythmicAC outlet Europe 2-are ripefor expansion, according toSchlesinger. In addition toincreasing audience figures,Europe 2's revenues are up25% to more than Ffr 500 mil-lion (euros 76 million) in the

From this autumn, themusic on RFM will be "moreattuned to targeting the 40year olds of year 2000,"according to programme man-ager Jean-Pierre Millet.

Face-lift for German Hot ACsby Gesa Birnkraut

HAMBURG - Two Hot AC sta-tions in Germany-Mannheim'sRadio Regenbogen and RadioHamburg-have tweaked theirschedules for the autumn.

Changes at Radio Regenbo-gen include a show givingexposure to new music, "Lustand Laster", in which listen-ers are invited to select theirfavourite track from threenew releases played every daybetween 14.00 and 15.00. Thewinning track will be added tothe station's playlist eachweek and also included in Fri-day's Top 10 show.

However, the new musicinitiative is not a result ofthe record industry's recentappeals for German radio toplay more new material. "Weplanned this long before thediscussions between radio and

music industry started at Pop-Komm," explains RadioRegenbogen programmingand managing director KlausSchunk.

Head of music at RadioHamburg, Marzel Becker, hasadjusted the station's sched-ules to accommodate threelonger daily shows instead ofthe previous four. Becker isgiving up his own three-hourdaily show to allow an extrahour each for John Ment atbreakfast, Birgit Hahn'slunchtime programme andJan Bastick's drivetime slot.

It is hoped that the changeswill lead to a more consistentstation sound, as well as giv-ing Becker more time to con-centrate on his music pro-gramming duties. "But as faras our daytime music policy isconcerned, nothing is going tochange," says Becker.

Dutch domestic music specialists uniteby Robbert Tilli

HILVERSUM - The Dutch musicindustry is anticipating a strongerradio presence for domestic repertoirefollowing the merger of nationalrepertoire stations Holland's Glorieand Radio Nationaal.

Radio Nationaal was launched in1998 by Rini Schreijenberg, managingdirector of Dutch pop label Koch MM,with the aim of securing more airplayfor domestic product. Koch MM's ros-ter includes the likes of Frans Bauerand Marianne Weber.

Holland's Glorie is owned by Dutchcompany Strengholt. In July thisyear, Luxembourg -based pan-Euro-pean broadcaster SBS bought 50% ofStrengholt's flagship station, NordzeeFM (M&M, July 31), but Holland'sGlorie remained wholly -owned byStrengholt. The latter station was set

up as a domestic music specialist lastyear when Nordzee FM (then calledRadio Nordzee Nationaal) swappedits "Dutch music only" playlist policyfor a mix of domestic and internation-al material.

"Contrary to what was recentlyrumoured in the Dutch press, Schrei-jenberg isn't buying Holland's Glorie,"explains a Noordzee FM source. "As amatter of fact Strengholt is keepingan interest in the station." The bal-ance of shares in the merged stationhas not been disclosed, however.

Schreijenberg says he is increas-ingly concerned by the dwindling air-play possibilities for local music onpublic AC/MOR station Radio 2. "It's ashame that Dutch radio listenersdon't have stations playing this typeof music," he says. "People pay theirradio licence fee but get nothing inreturn on public stations. Excluding

the new talent which we play, thereare no outlets anymore."

Frits van Swoll, A&R/product man-ager at Dino Music-the home of,among others, Ruth Jacott and Andrevan Duin-says: "Clearer radio for-mats are better for both the listenersand the industry. Now we finallyknow where we can place our Dutch -language material."

The holding company for the newmerged station is to be calledUnDosTres. Employing a 10 -strongteam, it will be based in Hilversumand broadcast on both new AM andexisting cable FM frequencies. EdwardNeefs, UnDosTres general manager,comments: "We're working out whichname we will broadcast under andwhen exactly we can begin broadcast-ing. For the moment we're awaiting[planning] permission to build a trans-mitter, which should be imminent."

RADIO ACTIVE

NAB '99: Views from OrlandoThe annual NAB Radio Showalways provides an excel-lent opportunity for Euro-pean programmers tocheck out and catch upwith what's happening inmusic radio stateside. Thevenue this year was theOrange CountyConvention Centrein Orlando, Florida.In the first of a spe-cial two-part NABreview, Jon Heas-man reports onsome of the highlights.

There seemed to be more than aslight quiver of apprehensionamongst the domestic attendeesat this year's NAB, despite thecurrent healthy financial state

of US radio.Even international visitors did not

have to look far for the source of thosefears. The affect of the industry'srecent consolidation in terms of jobsand the pressure to deliver ever-increasing profits to justify large sta-tion price tags; the threat fromnew Internet -only and satellite radioservices; the possible introduction(being proposed by US regulator theFCC) of low power "community" sta-tions on FM; and concern that theever -longer duration of commercialbreaks (spot loads) is driving audi-ences away from radio.

The fact that, post -consolidation,US radio is now (many would argue) aslave to Wall Street was emphasisedduring one of the Radio Show's open-ing panels on music research. JoeGallagher of Aritaur Communications.aid that, in such an environment,there is absolutely "no point in takingunnecessary risks. Find out what thelisteners want and play it. Don't try toguess!"

Comfort blanketGallagher added that research notonly gives programmers "security andcomfort" in their own everyday work,but helps reassure station ownersabout the basis of their programmedirector's knowledge.

Indeed, with ever more interactionbetween programming, sales and mar-keting departments, concrete researchevidence (as opposed to a program-mer's gut feel) can provide everyone ata station with the necessary confi-dence in the overall strategy. "Musicresearch is now crucial component ofall parts of station operations,"claimed panellist Dan Hayden, ofPathfinder Consulting and Research.

Ironically, there was a consensusthat the extensive use of musicresearch means that choice of music is

no longer the most critical element inprogramming a station. As Tom Kelly,of Kelly Music Research, noted: "Theplaying field has now levelled, becauseeveryone uses [music] research. It'snow what's between the records that'simportant."

And in the case of a station whoseshows are being voice tracked by a pre-senter from a different market, howmuch control can that PD effectivelyexercise over those presenters, whomay be accountable to five or six dif-ferent programmers in total.

maximise the returns on their heftyinvestments, automation systemsallowing presenters to voice trackmusic shows (rather than presentingthem live) are becoming more andmore prevalent.

It's now commonplace at US sta-tions for DJs to present a four or fivehour live show each day on the stationat which they are based, and thenvoice track one, two or even moredaily shows for stations owned by thesame group but broadcast in differentmarkets. Presenters can also voice-

track weekend shows so that they canbe on air seven days a week whileonly having to work weekdays.

In a panel entitled "How to stayhigh touch in a high tech world" pro-grammers agreed that voice trackingis helping to get around radio's air tal-ent shortage, particularly at smallerstations owned by the big groups.

Voice tracking is enabling smallstations to air the kind of talent thatthey could have previously onlydreamt about. Equally, high -calibretalent can be kept for longer in thesmaller markets if the station is ableto offer the presenter the chance ofpresenting voice tracked shows forother stations in the group (and there-fore offer more money plus exposurein other markets).

Bye bye freelancersAn advantage of voice tracking for pro-grammers is that with fewer presen-ters hosting more shows, the need forweekend freelancers is eliminated, sothey can spend more time coaching afew key talents. The flip side of this,however, is that it means fewer off-peak or depping slots are availablethrough which new talent can emerge.

voice tracked show is on the air.Cumulus Broadcasting's Mike

Cushman, who has experimentedwith a variety of ideas, admitted: "Wefound the best way is to put phones onhold so that they [the listeners] get anengaged tone when they call."Another potential difficulty isextreme weather conditions, althoughmost stations using the technologyhave devised systems involving keep-ing local staff members on pagers dur-ing voice -tracked hours to ensurethat, if required, "live" presentationcould be quickly resumed at fairlyshort notice.

Qualitative vs quantitativeOne of the most entertaining sessionsproved to be on station production, or"Imaging versus positioning."

All three panellists, WFLA/Tampa'sEric Chase, Clear Channel's MikeMadrigal, Rick Stacy of KQKS/Denverplus moderator Jimmy Steal ofKPWR/Los Angeles, argued the casefor the use of "qualitative" sweepersand promos that entertain and relateto an audience on an emotional level,rather than "quantitative" positioningstatements such as "Today's BestMusic" or "The Station That Plays 10In A Row" which are merely factual."In virtually every market, the top twostations are the ones that people havemade an emotional connection with,"noted Steal.

Clear Channel's Mike Madrigalacknowledged that straplines andpositioning statements were to someextent a necessary evil for stations."Slogans are like wallpaper," helamented, "but at least you can try andmake it cool wallpaper!" He recom-mended selling a lifestyle rather than

a precise musical position-use astrapline such as "Welcome To TheParty," rather than, say, "The ClassicRock Station That Really Rocks."

Madrigal also appealed to program-mers to "dumb up" rather than down."Don't talk down to dumb listeners-italienates the smart ones, and thedumb listeners are too dumb to knowthe difference!" Chase said that "imag-ing should be more aggressive than theformat. It should jump out and scareyou occasionally."

There was a consensus that theuse of humour was the really criticalkey in achieving that elusive emotion-al connection with the audience. Inparticular, argued Chase, stationsmust broadcast promos and sweeperswith a knowing wink to their listen-ers. "You must let the audience knowthat you 'get' it," he said. "The audi-ence want to feel part of a club, to getthe 'in' jokes."

Morning mattersStaying with humour, a panel of pre-senters billed as "Today's NewMorning stars" agreed-when theyweren't trying to out shock -jock eachother-with KHKS/Dallas presenterKid Kraddick's sentiment that beingyourself on the radio is the "singlehardest thing to do" in the medium.

There was some debate over exactlyhow far this "honesty" philosophyshould be taken, or how much a pre-senter should "give" of themselves.Jamie White of Los Angeles' KYSR, forexample, revealed that she had recent-ly told her listeners about a lesbianexperience she had, while Sheri Lynch(from the WLNK/Charlotte-basednationally syndicated Bob & Sheri

eri Lynch (top) and

cey of the syndicatVo& Sheri morniMov

morning show) had shared the pain ofher divorce with her audience.

Warning against the dangers ofartificially "creating" characters to suita station's target demographic, Whitesaid it is important to "define who youare, not who your audience are." Thepanel agreed, however, that mostmorning show hosts inevitably (andnecessarily) tend to end up an "exag-gerated cartoon version of who theyreally are." Next week: In part two of our NABRadio Show review, M&M reports onthe Format Forums that took place,looking at the latest developments inCHR, oldies, AC and rock.

WORLD MUSIC SPOTLIGHT

Life after Buena Vista?World music is riding thecrest of a wave. Led byBuena Vista Social Club,awareness of this musichas never been higher.But will the trend last?Terry Berne and RemiBouton report on thegenre's most recentdevelopments.

"The live scene is veryhealthy, with a dozen big

festivals. Yet, the mediaand particularly

radio stations are notinterested in this sector."

- Christian Mousset,

Buena Vista Social Club, theacclaimed Grammy -winningCuban roots music album fea-turing Ry Cooder and a collec-tion of Cuba's legendary musi-

cal pioneers, released by UK indielabel World Circuit, has sold morethan a million copies internationallysince its release in 1997 and is cur-rently at No.1 in the album charts inboth Germany and Italy.

But for world music, the mainquestion thesedays is "whatwill life be likeafter BuenaVista SocialClub?" Shouldit be seen asthe confirma-tion of worldmusic as aviable genre?Or is it one ofthose anom-alies that themusic industrytosses up peri-odically via acombination oftiming, promotional savvy and luck?

After all, the genre has had itsshare of genuine hits since its emer-gence as a serious force in the mid -'80s in the wake of Paul Simon'sgroundbreaking album Graceland,inspired by the music of SouthAfrica's townships. Successes includealbums by the likes of Juan LuisGuerra, Zap Mama, The Gypsy Kings,Salif Keita, Ali Farka Tout* TheChieftains, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,Angelique Kidjo and Youssou N'Dour(whose duet with Neneh Cherry 7Seconds reached number one on theEuropean airplay Top 50 inSeptember of 1994).

The strength of world music canalso be seen with the development ofWomex, the trade fair dedicated to all

forms of world, roots,and folk music. Aftersojourns in Brussels,Marseilles andStockholm, Womex,returns October 28-31 to Berlin, where itwas first created asan offshoot of theBerlin IndependenceDays in 1994.Featuring confer-ences and concerts,Womex has becomethe most importantmeeting of its kind,and organisersexpect more than a1,000 delegates thisyear.

founder of the Festival Musiques Metisses Another sign ofthe genre's health is

the survival and growing success ofveteran world music labels like RealWorld. Perhaps the genre's most icon-ic brand name, it celebrated its 10thanniversary in July, and its globalsales to date are upward of three mil-

lion units of some 80 titles, includingthe currently popular Afro -CeltSound System.

Common languageMore recently, Cameroon singer Wesenjoyed a long chart life in Music &Media's Eurochart Hot 100, with astay of more than a year of his singleAlane. Signed to Sony Music France'simprint Saint George, Wes told Music& Media last year that he believed

that "music isKhaled the only remaining

common languageon earth," addingthat "melodiescan move peopleeven when theydon't understandthe language."

Sony MusicFrance deputymanaging directorOlivier Montfortsays Wes' successechoes that ofanother SonyMusic act, RickyMartin, who

achieved cross -border sales and air-play in Spanish. Says Montfort: "Itreally proves you can achieve pan-European success with a song playedin a language other than English. It isa sign that things are changing and Ifind it quite encouraging."

France is one of the crossroads forworld music, partly due to its rela-tionship with former colonies. Thegenre regularly features in Frenchcharts, withcrossover actssuch as Wes orKhadja Nin, orthrough musicfrom one of themultiple eth-nic communi-ties living inFrance.

"France isan importantprovider ofworld music.'says ChristianMousset, whofounded theFestivalMusiquesMetisses 24 years ago. It specialisesin jazz and world music, and attracts40-50,000 people to the city ofAngouleme. "France has a commonhistory with west and north Africaand these are strong communitieswithin France," he says.

The most visible example of thisinfluence is the explosion of rai, themusic genre born in Algeria thatcounts among its most prominent rep-resentatives, Khaled, Faudel andCheb Mami. West Africa is also a reli-able provider of world music artistswho either reside in France (ManuDibango, Wes, Mory Kante) or useFrance to build their career (YoussouN'Dour or Cesaria Evora from Cape-

Cesaria Evora

Verde, who is signed to BMG France).Mousset points to the rise of the

genre as a fully fledged industry, withits own growing circuit of festivals,radio programmes, specialised media,retail interest, a plethora of newlabels, and a growing roster of inter-nationally renowned artists.

Lack of media supportWorld music has enjoyed some growthin France, according to a surveyundertaken by Zone Franche, a non-profit association whose aim is toreinforce networking within theFrench-speaking world music com-munity. Gildas Lefeuvre, who con-ducted the research, admits there hasbeen an increasing number of worldmusic acts in the French charts dur-ing the past two years, but says that

it has a lot to do withsummer marketingoperations launchedby labels in partner-ship with nationalTV channels. Actssuch as Wes orKhadja Nin (BMG)benefited from thesecampaigns.

"The definition ofthe genre is moreand more open, andnow ranges from tra-ditional music toworld mix and TV -backed products, soit is difficult to pre-dict if the trend will

last," says Lefeuvre."Clearly France is active in the

field, but media outlets are not play-ing the game," laments Mousset. "Thelive scene is very healthy, with a dozenbig festivals. Yet the media-and par-ticularly radio stations-are not inter-ested in this sector, except for [Paris -based free -form station] Radio Novaand [international public broadcaster]RFI, but these are marginal. Besides,there are no TV shows and no spe-cialised magazines since the failure ofthe monthly title World."

Spain continues to be a strongsource of world music repertoire, withthe multi -platinum (500,000 and ris-ing in Spain) celtic worldbeat hybrid

WORLD nil( SPOTLIGHTAmadou et Mariam

Tierra de Nadie, from Austrian artistHevia (EMI), released worldwide asNo Man's Land.

One of the most significant albumsso far this year is Os Amores' Libres(RCA), the second release fromGalician piper Carlos Nunez, whichfuses celtic airs with flamenco, NorthAfrican, and Romanian gypsy music.The album, which took two years tocomplete and spans 10 countries, fea-tures an impressive list of guestartists, including Mike Scott of TheWaterboys, Israeli singer Noa,Spanish guitar legend Sabicas, vari-ous Chieftains, Jackson Browne(singing in Galician) and SimonEmmerson of the Afro -Celts.

Escape the ghettoThough world music is mostly anindie game, the majors are starting topay it more attention. They eithercreate their own world musicimprints or sign distribution dealswith established labels, as is the casewith Warner and David Byrne'sLuaka Bop.

Universal imprint Emarcy hasbeen particularly active on the worldmusic front lately, with releases byseveral important or emerging artists("emerging" is an extremely relativeterm, as most world music artists arealready well known in their home ter-ritories). Singer Eleftheria Arvanitaki,a platinum seller in her nativeGreece, Portugese singer AmeliaMuge and Malian couple Amadou etMariam are three artists whose inter-national launch is being handled byEmarcy. Amadou et Mariam's newalbum Tje Ni Mousso is due out thisautumn on Emarcy.

The most prominent recent entryinto the field is Wicklow Records, ajoint venture between The Chieftain'sPaddy Moloney and BMG Classics.The label has just released interna-tionally acclaimed Finnish group

Varttina's sev-enth album,Vihma, as wellas two BillLaswell projects,Imaginary Cubaand Nagual Site.The avant -worldbeat producerwill release aseries of CDs forthe label. EMI'sHemisphereseries, overseenby GeraldSeligman,continues toproduce highquality themed

compilations based mainlyon the label's vast archive oflocally recorded material.

"The world music market is defi-nitely growing steadily," saysRykodisc Europe sales and marketingdirector Andy Childs. "There are morerecords, more variety, more visibility

at retail, and marketing has becomemore sophisticated."

One irony of World Music's growthis that now retail is now dedicatingsufficient space and promotion to it,artists want to break out of the thosesame sections, now housing all sortsof product, from purely ethnic to wild-ly eclectic.

" "Certain artists do want to movebeyond the world music ghetto to abigger market," concurs Childs. "It'snot good enough just to have youralbum racked in those sections. Youneed profile."

Not all artists have the potential todo that of course. He cites BaabaMaal's 1998 Palm Pictures releaseNomad Soul as an example of analbum aimed at commercial radio,and the new Kulanjan collaborationbetween popular bluesman Taj Mahaland Malian kora master ToumaniDiabate, on Hannibal Records, as anexample of an album concept that willattract a public beyond the confines ofa typical world music production.

A world of indies"World music is trendier than it wasfive years ago," asserts PhilippaMorgan, specialties buyer for UK's100 -strong HMV chain. She is clearon the role of retail in the genre'sgrowth. "I think it's successful now asa result of the attention we've paid it,rather than the other way around-that we're paying it proper attention

now that it's popular."As for the increase in world music

labels and product, she declares: "Ithink the competition will be quite goodfor world music, because before theestablished labels, with some notableexceptions, were a bit complacentbecause there weren't many of them.It's also good that the music has crossedover into lots of other styles-ambientor dance, for example."

Narada director of European mar-keting Jaap Hoitingh sees the influ-ence of world music expanding into allcorners of popular music, but findsthe confusion in retail world musicbins a hindrance. "New instrumentalmusic has entered a phase where ituses all sorts of influences. Theappearance of new labels also showsthe growing interest in the music," henotes, "but the problem is that it's allmixed together with purely ethnicmusic in the record stores."

Narada features two world musicimprints: Narada World, which focus-es on modern music with ethnic influ-

ences, and Narada WorldSelect, which presents uniqueworld music performances indeluxe format. The label castsits net wide. Cuba L.A. is anexceptional, percussive latinjazz tribute to that city's Cubanlegacy; Chez Cajun from theCajun All -Stars unites some ofLouisiana's best players for aromp through the funkyFrench -flavoured style; whilethe duo Vas explores an originalapproach to Indian and MiddleEastern vocal and instrumentalmusic.

Newcomer Siam Records iscommitted to bringing the high-est technical standards to an

exacting repertoire of world musictitles, including the richly texturedNew Jakarta Ensemble'sCommonality, which brings westernclassical forms to bear on Indonesiantraditional instrumental and vocalmusic, creating a complex and haunt-ing sound new to world music. Or the

pulsing and melodic Afro -pop of SanBonan, from South African bassistBakithi Kumalo, whose bubbling fret-less bass on Graceland became one ofthe world's most identifiable sound sig-natures.

"There are relatively few promo-tional and marketing opportunitiesavailable for this music," commentsSiam GM Frank Hendricks. "Thispresents labels like Siam with theopportunity to develop very non-tra-ditional marketing and promotionaltechniques so as to reach consumers,and they are far more grass -rootsoriented."

Growing AwarenessHendricks is in two minds on whetherthe genre is helped by occasional hitrecords: "The impact at retail is amixed bag. On one hand, the successof some world music titles definitelycreates a positive environment bydrawing attention to the genre atretail. However, most world musictitles are released on indie labels, andwe still have to compete with themajors for shelf space through retailprogrammes which are expensive. Tothat end, I think that e -commerce willhelp to level the playing fields in time,by giving us the opportunity to reachcustomers directly."

Manuela Ostrolenk, CEO of indielabel Arion, founded in 1962 and moreknown for its classical music output,says there is a change in the marketwith more aggressive action frommajor companies. "Big hits make thecompetition sharper," she says."Artists become more demanding, ithas an impact on costs, and itbecomes more difficult for indies likeus to produce world music."

However, Ostrolenk saysawareness for world musicproducts is growing. "Whilewe were using classical musicas the cherry on the cake inorder to sell our world cata-logue to international distrib-utors, today we use our worldmusic catalogue to help theexport of our classical musiccatalogue."

For world music labels, thesuccess of Buena Vista SocialClub pushes the boundaries ofworld music and proves thatthere is a larger public for thisgenre, providing audiencescan be exposed to the music."What we need is a BuenaVista Social Club for everycountry's music," musesRyko disc's Childs. "That'sbeen important in exposingpeople to Cuban music, but

I don't think it's necessarily openedthe floodgates. The wider issue,however, is that there is a market outthere for non -mainstream music.It just needs to be educated anddirected."

Strictly house hits homeby Christian Lorenz

What has the smooth house of Ultra Nate'sFound A Cure and the searing gospel of LoveJourney feat. Latanza Waters' So Glad in com-mon? Both sport the red -brick logo of NewYork's Strictly Rhythm label.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year,the label has a reputation in Europe for quali-ty vocal house tunes. As the only US dance

indie to run a fully-fledged Europeanoffice-established in1994 in London-Strictly Rhythm ben-efits from the loyaldeep house scene thisside of the Atlantic."Some 75% of ourbusiness is done inEurope," reflects labelmanager EuropePhil Cheeseman."Typically, peoplehere look to us for US

product. Most of our records start to grow inthe UK club market before crossing over intoother territories. The only ever US -led title Ican remember is Set U Free by Miami -basedduo Planet Soul."

Last year Strictly Rhythm co-foundersMark Finkelstein and Gladys Pizarro securedexclusive distribution agreements with TonyHumphries' Yellorange label and RogerSanchez' R-Senal Records. This summer theyclinched deals with Peter Rauhofer's Star, DJPierre's DJP, Mark Picchioti's blueplate andFull Intention's D -Tension imprints.

Together these labels easily account formore than 30% of any deep house DJ's set.Take Danish DJ Martin Ottersen, betterknown as Funkstar De Luxe. "I'm into the USsound and labels like Strictly Rhythm orYellorange," says the man who is riding highwith his re -mix of Bob Marley's Sun Is Shining(Hypnotic/edel).

"Many people say the Strictly sound is NewYork Garage," comments Cheeseman, "butthat's only one side of the coin. Right from thebeginning we did things like DJ Pierre's wildpitch stuff (Photon Inc.'s Generate Power,1991) as well as, say, Josh Wink's Higher StateOf Consciousness in 1995."

Roger Sanchez, DJ Pierre, Masters At Workand Armand van Helden all got their careers

off the ground with a hit on Strictly Rhythm.The label's hottest artist at the moment isDuane Harden, the voice and co -writer behindVan Helden's smash hit You Don't Know Me(ffrr) andPowerhouse'sWhat U Need(StrictlyRhythm). Acomputerengineer bybackground,Harden'sbreak in the music industry is quite unusual.

"I grew up in Savannah, Georgia," saysHarden. "I guess you could say I was intogospel. It wasn't until I went off to college in`89 at Boston University that I discoveredwhat house music was."

He met Van Helden in Boston. "He was aDJ at the Loft and me and my friend Kelvinused to go there and sing along to the vocals.Armand approached me and said he thought Icould sing. I told him he was crazy. We've beenfriends since then."

As an artist who left the dancefloor only ayear ago-You Don't Know Me was his record-ing debut-Harden harbours strong views onthe industry. "I think that it's remixes whichwill stop dance music from becoming larger inthe future," he predicts. "The consumer musthave something to sing along to. If you removethis element it is hard to identify with a track.Also I think that sampling one word or linefrom the original lyric is a discredit to theartist."

Harden's debut album is to be released byStrictly in January 2000. "An album helpsdefine to the consumer who the artist is," heexplains. "I think it will be a mixture of pop,dance, and R&B-representative of both USand European styles."

European ADE for danceby Christian Lorenz

More intimate than, say, Miami's WinterMusic Conference, the Amsterdam DanceEvent (ADE) serves as a European platformfor dance labels, publishers, managers,producers and DJs to network.

This year, prolific UK DJ andrecording artist Carl Cox is con-firmed to give the keynotespeech at the ADE which willtake place from October 7-9.Organised by export bureauConamus and authors' rightsorganisation Buma, ADE willattract some 800 delegates this yearand will take place at the Felix Meritistheatre. The event offers panels on the rootsof dance, on digital music distribution as wellas Internet radio. Separate territory focus

meetings on the US and the Benelux coun-tries promise to look at distribution andlicensing issues in those markets.

The live programme includes sets by inter-national DJ's such as DJ Sneak (US),

Dillinja & Lemon D (UK) andFrancois Kevorkian (US) next to

local talent such as FerryCorsten and Robert Smit. As inthe previous year, theEuropean Broadcasting Union(EBU) will record the VIP Clubnight @ the Amsterdam Dance

Event and offer the feed to itsmembers for live or delayed

broadcast.More names and details on the

ADE night program can be obtained fromthe ADE website http://www.amsterdam-dance.nl.

EDcincgroovesby Gary Smith

KRAFTWERKYFollowing the electro-influ-enced sound that cropped upmore than a few times on hisprevious album Freak FunkAmerican artist LukeSlater's latest single AllExhale (Novamute/ UK) onceagain recalls the analogueelectronic sounds of the1980's. With a vocoder/chorusriff highly reminiscent of Kraftwerk, fizzing drummachines and dreamy, percussion -laden interludes, thetrack is spirited and evocative in equal measure.

LUKESLATER

LL EXHALE

WATCH THIS TUNEThe Discoking's Gotta Have House (Celebrative/Holland) hitshard and just keeps getting harder over the nextsix minutes. A playful pastiche on Giorgio Moroder'sproduction style the tune borrows heavily from disco actssuch as Sylvester, Lipps Inc., Donna Summer. It endsup as a true original though, by combining hard beats withwell -placed chords, time -stretched voices, trancey breaks anda falsetto vocal. Magnificent and already picking up hugedancefloor support in the Benelux countries and the UK.

SPIKYFull of punky fun, Brassy's I Can't Wait (Wiiija/UK), is, asone would expect from a label that was previously a bas-tion of the Camden guitar band scene, uncompromisingand only tokenly part of the dance area. With a backingthat falls somewhere between grungy hip hop and big beatplus lyrics that are cute and funny, the chorus is disarm-ingly sweet. A genuinely different sound that marriesmutant pop with humour and freshness.

GRUNGYDownbeat grunginess from UK rapper Maxim on My Web(XL Recordings/UK). The voice is a little rough around theedges, like Tricky's, but musically Maxim has a similarapproach to Barry Adamson. Using melodramatic brassriffs and minor chords he adds a sense of menace toan urbane monologue. Top marks for the music andattitude but the lack of a chorus relegates this track to thespecialist zone.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVERAfter crafting Casual Sub (Burning Spear) (FX/Denmark),one of the biggest tunes of 1997, Danish duo E.T.A. arefinally back with a four -track album sampler. The two anda half years since the emergence of Casual Sub have been,to say the least, packed with incident. An erased hard diskput the already tortuous recording process back by severalmonths, then E.T.A. were roped in to co -produce Infernal'sVoodoo Cowboy album and found themselves playing a notinsignificant number of gigs and parties.

Now it's here, the four -track sampler promises greatthings from the much anticipated E.TA. album NoSmoking. The opening track Blurred is a 1960's homage,all sizzling Hammond organ, wah-wah guitar and delicatefemale vocals superbly counterpointed by a robotic vocoderchorus. Ayia Nara, provisionally slated as the first single,again takes a 1960's soul feel and then adds Abfahrt'sNosie Katzmann doing a sinister monologue about...club-bing! The remaining tracks are equally impressing: Thethumpy, riffy Massive Stoned brings in a rock element andsamples Hitchcock being interviewed about his childhood.

Charting Europe's new dance mapFew genres are as confus-ing or as contradictory asdance music. An ever-changing range of regionaltastes, sub -genres andhybrids underlie what has

undoubtedlybecome THE

As with mostthings Euro-pean, the northsouth divideseems alive and

well at first sight in thedance music arena.

The split in recent timeshas developed with thechillier climes of the UK,Benelux, Germany andScandinavia devoted to allthings trance, while thesouthern regions have pre-ferred their beats a bitmore funky with housemusic on an all time high.

However, things arenever that simple and acase in point is in France,the one nation where northand south truly mingle.Despite what many maythink of the frosty citizensof its capital city, Scorpio'sinternational A&R manag-er Tony Alexandre says:"France is, in tempera-ment, a latin country.Trance doesn't work here."

And a glanceat the Frenchcharts, whereEiffel 65's Blue(Bliss Corpor-ation) is Top 5seems to confirmAlexandre'sstatement. WithMoloko's Sing ItBack (Echo) andPhats & Small'sFeel Good (Mult-iply) also climb-ing the Frenchsingles chart,house musicrules. It also,occasionally,starts there.

"We were thefirst station [inFrance] to pick

up on Eiffel 65," says SamZniber, scheduling directorof Paris -based dance net-work Fun Radio. "It was onthe playlist in May. Thefeedback from the website

and phone-ins was immedi-ate and very strong."

New sound on the riseWith a playlist that isroughly 50/50 dance andR'n'B, Fun needs to uncov-er the hits before they hap-pen, and Zniber is tippingPaul Johnson's Get GetDown (Time Records), SunIs Shining by Bob Marleyvs. Funkstar Deluxe (ClubTools) and The Night -crawlers' Never Knew LoveLike This (Riverhorse) asupcoming breakers.

There is, he states, anew movement developing."In a general sense trancewith vocals will continue tobe very strong but a newsound, vocal disco/housewith trance breaks, is onthe rise."

A&R manager atLondon -based Manifesto,Ben Cherrill, agrees."Tracks with the energy oftrance but with a bit more

funk, like DJJean's TheLaunch (BlueRecords), arestarting to dowell," he notes."A paralleltrend is thatquality vocal -based housefrom the US ismaking acomeback.Those cleanerproduction val-ues are goodfor radio."

Cherrillcites B With U

by Junior Sanchez feat.Dajae (Rsenal) as beingindicative of this newtransatlantic trend. But heis also sanguine about thechances of individualtracks receiving airplay."The sheer volume oftrance releases has made ithard for labels becauseradio cannot play them all,"says Cherrill. "But some-times it all falls together."

Big trance hit?The Awakening by York(Adrenalin) is on the B -Listat UK public CHR stationBBC Radio 1 FM threeweeks before release and isshaping up to be perhapsthe last big trance hit of theyear. Manifesto are also torelease the album Shine byThe Space Brothers thismonth while Yomanda'sSynth & Strings, a 200,000seller in the UK, is just outin Europe.

While it is tempting tolump the UK and Germanytogether due to theirshared love of trance,things are not that simple."The bombastic trancesound, as typified by DJSakin & Friends' ProtectYour Mind and Dragonfly(Intercord), which is verydifferent to ATB and UKtrance in general, has beenhuge here but is now fadingaway," says ThomasKlauke, A&R manager atStuttgart -based Intercordlabel, which is also thehome of Blue Nature. "Atthe same time radio is play-ing more home grown hiphop and R&B, which is cut-ting down the potential forcrossover club hits."

As for the general fate ofdance music in Germany,Klauke is cautious, butultimately not terribly opti-mistic. "Eiffel 65 andWamdue Project are on theradio," he says, "becausethey are very catchy tracks.The reduction of dancevideos on [German musicTV channel] Viva, fromaround three out of 10 toone out of 10, alongside alack of radio airplay ispolarising the scene. It hasto be either very pop ortotally underground."

Common denominatorFor some labels, Copen-hagen -based FX included,radio is simply not in theframe as a promotionaltool. "We don't even presentour records to radio,"admits FX promotion man-ager Peter Skovsted. "Weprefer to work tracksthrough the clubs and sendoui acts out on tour."

It is not that Skovstedhas any problem withDanish radio and its atti-tude to dance, but radio is,as in many countries, arather conservative, adver-tising -led medium that isalso restricted by its geo-graphical range. "The lawin Denmark limits stationsto a maximum of 160 wattsbroadcast power, whichputs pressure on the pro-grammers to go for thecommon denominator inpursuit of their limitedaudiences," he says.

Commercial CHR sta-tion The Voice is, however,a big supporter of dancewith three influentialshows. "Jakob Lund's after-noon mix show is the mostimportant," says Skovsted,"but Morten Trost and L.P.

Stovring are influential too.Other stations follow theirlead."

Despite not using radio,FX has produced a steadystream of material thatgoes over well in the clubs.Two to watch are Krystal'sBurning Flame, which fea-tures a vocal by Abfahrt'sNosie Katzmann-and isalready being hammeredby Paul Oakenfold-plusETA's debut album NoSmoking.

Fresh energyIn. Holland, Rob Bouhuis,MD of United Recordingssays radio is vital to thecommercial success of Dutchdance producers. They are,however, caught in thehorns of a dilemma: "Beforeconsidering a track, radioasks if it's selling, but itwon't sell without radio playand retailers won't stock thetrack without a Top 100entry. To get that you needradio plays!" he says.

Despite this, Unitedscored big with Put YourHands Up by the Black &White Brothers, but onlyafter applying extra mus-cle. "You need power to geton the radio and you need adance smash on [CHR-/dance station] Radio 538 toget a hit," Bouhuis states."So you have to hire outsidepromotion, which doesn'talways work."

Italy is refreshingly dif-ferent. There radio DJspay attention to what clubjocks are spinning andplay the tracks on theradio. "There are certainclub DJs," says EnergyRecords head of A&RAlvaro Ugolini, "such asNino Scarico at Club RadioLondra in Rome, Massim-ino at Peter Pan in Riminiand Stefano Gambarelli atVilla de la Rosa in Riminiwho are very upfront.They really do influenceplaylists."

Currently riding high inthe Eurochart Hot 100 withAnn Lee's 2 Times (X -Energy), Ugolini feels thatItaly has now recoveredfrom its mid -'90s slump."Eiffel 65, Ann Lee andEclipse are all Italian pro-ductions," he says, "and theremix of the WamdueProject track was done byMas Collective fromRimini. Italian music is ona real high at the moment.I don't say 'dance music'because these days clubmusic is pop music."

CHART

Dance BeatThe European Top 40 Dance Traxx, which is pub-lished for the first time this week in Music &Media, combines two different types of dancecharts: clubplay charts (based on DJs' feedback)and dance sales charts.

These charts are sourced by MIS, the Germancompany which compiles the European Top 40Dance Traxx, from different established providersof national dance charts. "This method was cho-sen because we didn't want to create dozens ofnew dance charts in European countries," ex-plains Harald Roth, owner of MIS.

All in all, the European dance chart is basedon 22 different component charts that collectivelyinclude data from more than 1,800 DJ reportersand some 300 specialist stores.

The overall weighting of clubplay and salescharts is based on a ratio of 2/1. However, theclubplay/sales ratio of individual tracks on thechart can differ from this overall ratio, as individ-ual tracks do not necessarily become available inthe shops when being played in clubs.

Readers can identify countries where thetracks are being played ("CP") or selling ("S") withthe percentage of clubplay and retail detailed foreach track.

Each country is weighted according to itsmarket size, based on IFPI statistics. MIS hasadded an additional weighting factor, reflectingthe influence of some markets, plus a specificweighting factor influenced by the country's po-tential of producing cross borders hits. "It's eas-ier to reach a certain rank on some nationaldance charts that are compiled from only a sam-ple of a few dozen [clubs or DJs] reporting,rather than with those compiled using hundredsof reporters," explains Roth. "We decided to takethis into account to make sure that tracks cannotend up on the European Top 100 with only asmall number of reporters."

The Dance Traxx is based on the informationfrom the following clubplay (CP) and specialistdance sales (S) sources: UK=United Kingdom:Music Week Club Chart (CP), CIN Dance Singles(S); Au=Austria: Deejay Top 4ty (CP); D=Ger-many: DDC Deutsche Dance Charts (CP+S); E=Spain: Deejay magazine Technics Top 50 (CP);H=Holland: IDP Dance Board 50 (CP), StichtingMega Charts/Dance Trends (S); Cz=Czech Rep.:Czech Dance Chart (CP+S); B=Belgium: IDPsBelgian Dance Chart(CP), Ultratop 40 Dance (S);Hun=Hungary: XinJOY Club Chart (CP);F=France: Extra Club Musibox System (CP),Maxi Dance (S) Thierry Savignac/MusiboxFrance; I=Italy: Media Italian Top 30 ClubCarts/Musica e Dischi (CP), Canali Vendita Mix(S); S=Sweden/N=Norway/Fi=Finland: DeeJayPromotions Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish DanceChart (all CP); Dk=Denmark: M&I Servicedancechart.dk (CP); Pol=Poland: Top 30 DanceChart (CP), DJ Promotion/DMC DJ Top 50 (S).

by Paul Sexton & Christian Lorenz

DAVID BOWIEHOURS...VirginInternational release date: October 4Many longtime Bowie fans will greet his return to

more song -based albumwork with relief afterthe mixed receptiongranted his drum &bass endeavours. Thir-ty years ago exactly theStarman was in chartorbit for the first timewith Space Oddity andhas remained at thesharp edge of both style

and technology ever since as he reminded us with theInternet unveiling of this album. The good newsabout hours... compared to most of Bowie's work inthe 1990's is that he remembered to bring some tuneswith him this time. The single Thursday's Child man-ages to straddle the alternative and adult contempo-rary formats with style. There is a melodic purity tothe album that recalls the aspiring pop figurehead ofthe Hunky Dory era, especially on the acoustically -charged, autobiographical Seven. The driving ThePretty Things Are Going To Hell also has a place onthe Stigmata soundtrack. hours... will remindBowie's constituency what it was they liked abouthim in the first place. PS

ANDREAS JOHNSONLIEBLINGWEA SwedenInternational release date: December (tbc)Gone are the singer/songwriter tendencies Johnsondisplayed on his early 90'sdebut Cottonfish Tales(EMI), in come big, brashpop arrangements. Lieblingis Johnson's first album onhis new WEA deal. Thestory goes that whenAndreas had an appoint-ment with Warner MusicSweden MD Sanji Tandan toplay him his demo the tape deck did not work. John-son grabbed a vintage 1960's Hagstr6m guitar dis-played in Tandan's office, played a couple of tunesand left with a new album contract in his pocket.Obviously bold as brass, Johnson makes pop with atouch of glam. Like Bowie and Reed dwelling on thewhiff of decadent Berlin, Johnson toys with the imageof the coolly detached, self-destructive Europeanrock'n'roll groupie. "I think Liebling is more Euro-pean,"says Johnson. "It's in the title which means"darling" in German. I have tried to make the kind ofalbum I loved when I grew up, but placing the songsin a contemporary context." Due out in most territo-ries towards the end of October, the first single Glori-ous shows a relatively upbeat Johnson. Try People,Patiently, Spaceless or Please (Do Me Right) for a bitof icy melancholy. CL

AIRPLAY

id( Huoknair4of Simply Red

On the airM&M's weekly airplay analysis column

After a phenomenal four chart topping weeks forTexas, Christina Aguilera's Genie In A Bottle(RCA) is this week's new number one on the Eu-ropean Radio Top 50. Not only has the Americanteenager triumphed to the top, she has alsoamassed the most chart points this week, hav-ing shot up from number nine. Texas slidesdown to number two with Summer Son (Mer-cury), while Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5 (Bliss Co.)continues its crawl down the chart and is thisweek's number six.

Eight new tracks have en-tered this week's Top 50, thehighest being Simply Red at 23.Their new single Ain't That ALot Of Love (East West) is beingembraced by programmers allover Europe. An upbeat popsong, which has already beenremixed by, among others, duoPhats and Small, the track istaken from the band's newalbum which is due to be re-

leased at the end of October. Head of music atSwiss CHR station Radio Basilisk Nick Schultzis playlisting the song: "Normally we wouldn'tplay this kind of upbeat 'young' material, butthis is balancing right on the line. It has astrong melody, yet keeps the late 90s feel. It ap-peals to the kids as well as to our older listenerswho have always liked Simply Red, so the trackreally hits two markets at the same time."

Schultz has been preoccupied with the issueof listener groups for some time, as RadioBasilisk is in the process of tweaking its format."We've been losing older listeners, so we're nowchanging the format to CHR/AC. We've cut downon a lot of the new, commercial pop from Ger-many which is primarily produced to cater forthe very young. We are not as cutting edge as wewere before and we now wait for material to be-come mainstream before we include it in ourplaylist. We hope that this will make the olderlisteners come back to us, while at the sametime keeping the young ones happy!"

Mariah Carey's new single Heartbreaker(Columbia), which she wrote and produced her-self, is a new entry at 29. It's taken from hernew album by the same title due to be releasedin November. Just one position below is RickyMartin's She's All I Ever Had (Columbia)-alsoa new entry-at 30. Among other new faces thisweek are Shaft with their cover of Ruiz andGimble's 1954 classic Sway, performed by PerezPrado's and Dean Martin among others.

delighted to have them back." Hesays that expectations were furtherheightened "by the quality of Lennoxand Stewart's solo output."

Programmers across Europe agreethat the Eurythmics are still musi-cally relevant todayand not just a nostal-gia trip. Michael Brett,programme controllerof CHR station TippFM in Clonmel, Ire-land, comments: "TheEurythmics have that'80s feel but fresher,updated for the '90s.They still have a dis-tinctive sound, but lesselectronic. They're nottrip hop, but it'salmost that kind ofsound which shapes I -Saved The World Today."

Frieder Lolarbacher, music pro-grammer at Mannheim -based CHRstation Radio Regenbogen says: "TheEurythmics have cult status in Ger-many. Few artists have managed totie the '80s generation to that era'smusic like Annie and Dave have. Icould think only of U2 or DepecheMode who have had a similar effect."

Brett agrees that the Eurythmicsare an icon of the 1980s and there-fore appeal strongly to listeners who

Upbeat Larsen reports Universal progresshave been together since the twocompanies merged," commentsLarsen in a rare interview, a fulltranscript of which will be publishedin M&M next week. "It was a signifi-cant achievement to get all these peo-ple together, under a new ownershipand new management."

Larsen says that many of the dis-cussions focused on "a business whichwill change shape very rapidly."Larsen adds that, over the threedays, Bronfman described "how hesees the current situation of the com-pany and his views for the present(which he is very pleased with, fortu-nately) and the future of the indus-try, which he can see evolving in ahighly technological direction."

The meeting also featured productshowcases from 14 different reper-toire sources, and presentations from

different functional areas of the com-pany (finance, distribution and man-ufacturing). There were also perfor-mances from, among others, AbbaTeens, Mary J Blige and Aqua.

Most of the presentations centredon domestic repertoire. Says Larsen:"We had a lot of talks, meetings andpresentations of domestic A&R wherepeople detailed country and regionalpriorities. Domestic A&R clearly con-tinues to be one of our priorities."

"It was all very cool, and this wasmostly noticed by former PolyGramexecutives," says a London -basedUniversal executive who was at themeeting. "They were quite astonishedto see senior management executiveslooking so relaxed, even if they [themanagement] have set some ambi-tious targets."

Larsen concurs: "I have the feeling

that things are pretty harmoniousnow and that people are at ease witheverything, whether they are new tothe company or not."

Reflecting on the hectic recentperiod during which the merger tookplace, Larsen comments: "It is worth-while to say that the integration peri-od is by and large over, althoughthere are some areas that still needto be examined, tweaked or possiblyrestructured. Yet this is true of allcompanies, regardless of whetherthey are emerging from a merger."

Larsen says that "we haven't lostany business" as a result of the merg-er. "In fact we have increased ourbusiness and our profitability signifi-cantly. Despite the upheaval, wehave lost hardly any key manage-ment, and we certainly haven't lostany major artists that we wanted to

continued from page 1

keep on our rosters. That's somethingthat everybody should be very proudof, because we managed to maintainthat continuity, despite undergoingthe kind of major changes that I don'tthink any other company has everhad to go through."

He adds: "Regarding the future,we are obviously being scrutinisedby the financial community and wehave to keep hitting our figures quar-ter on quarter, year by year. Theexpectations are high, both internallyand externally, but we have good rea-son to believe that we are going tomake the kind of profit figures whichno [record] company has ever made inthe past. Marry that prediction to thechanges we anticipate for the futurefor the industry, and you have a worldmarket leader at the forefront of thechanges and challenges of the future."

grew up during that decade. Heexplains: "Our core audience is 25-35and we aim to trigger happy memo-ries for our listeners, who mostlygrew up with the sound of the '80s."

Lennox and Stewart-one of theprincipal songwritingteams of that decade-were an innovativeimpulse on the musicscene when they firstscored an internationalTop 10 hit with SweetDreams in 1983-a factwhich Schmich feels isoften overlooked in ret-rospect. "The Euryth-mics have moved moretowards the main-stream, or maybethe mainstream has

- become more leftfield.Anyway, in the '80s the Eurythmicswere really different from what wasmainstream pop back then. It's funnyhow what used to be progressive backthen sounds so normal today."

An album, Peace (RCA/BMG), isdue to follow I Saved The WorldToday on October 18. On September18, the Eurythmics embarked on anextensive worldwide tour to promotePeace. They will play 24 dates withthe last show set to take place onDecember 6 at the London Arena.

M&M launches dance Top 40found alongside the first publishedchart on page 15.

Harald Roth, founder and ownerof MIS, comments: "MIS is delightedto have found such a strong interna-tional partner for our dance chart.Music & Media is a strong brand andhas 15 years of experience in multi-national charts."

Music & Media editor -in -chiefEmmanuel Legrand adds: "We arevery pleased to be able to provide thisadditional service for our readers.One quick look at the Eurochart andStation Reports shows that dancemusic is hot property. The EuropeanDance Traxx will complement per-fectly M&M's Eurochart Hot 100 Sin-gles and European Radio Top 50charts. Providing a detailed picture

continued from page 1

of Europe's active dance scene, it willbe a 'must have' tool for program-mers to spot upcoming hits, as somany dance tracks begin life on thedancefloor before being included onstation playlists."

Says Roth: "We're convinced thatthe European Dance Traxx in M&Mis not only good news for multina-tional record companies. It also opensa door to radio programmers onto thedance music genre in general, whichcould benefit small indie companieswhen they have a jewel in theirhands. Radio programmers can nowinstantly check out when a dancetrack really explodes on a pan-Euro-pean level, instead of waiting until itreaches a top 10 position in nationalsales charts."

Introducing Spain's 'station for Europe'surprise, immediacy and emotionthat a medium such as radio can pro-vide, but which we feel has beenlost."

Europa FM music controller AliciaVillar says: 'We are still at the organi-sational stage, but it is quite likelythat we shall have to look outsideSpain for most of our European prod-uct, as the labels here do not releaserecords in Dutch and German and soon."

Europa FM's target audience isupmarket 18-40 year -olds, and Villarsays that the network's unique Euro-pean focus won't just be confined tothe music. Europa FM will be theonly network in Spain to broadcastspecial "European -focused news" indedicated spots every hour, "in addi-tion to the usual national and inter-national news," according to Villar.Europa FM will also bring listenershourly updates on developments at

The 40 -station Europa FM net-work is using the FM frequencies for-merly occupied by OCR's music net-work, Onda 10, which was closeddown on September 12. It followsOCR's purchase by Spanish telecom-munications giant Telefonica earlierthis year (M&M, May 29).

Telefonica's recently formed affili-ate Telefonica Media will now groupall the company's media interests.

In addition to its earlier purchasesof OCR, the 51 -station Radio Vozgroup and the former seven -stationEuropa FM, Telefonica has alsobought an estimated 35% of RadioEspana, which will now broadcastOCR news/talk programmes between06.00-08.00, and 16.00-19.00. A simi-lar deal has been agreed with RadioIntercontinental, which will broad-cast OCR's programming 06.00-13.00, and 17.00-20.00.

Despite reports to the contrary in several UK trademagazines, the sale of the Indpendent RadioGroup (IRG) may not be a foregone conclusion.IRG-in line with Stock Exchange rulings-hasbeen forced to formally announce that it is talkingto possible buyers, following a sudden surge in itsshare price fuelled by take-over rumours. But IRGchief executive Michael Connolly tells Hotlinethat "in this era of consolidation, hardly a weekhas gone by in the past two years without us talk-ing to someone." Favourites to buy IRG are theGuardian Media Group and Talk Radio own-ers The Wireless Company.

In another possible big -money deal, Dutchmedia group Wegener is apparently open to offersfor its subsidiary, Arcade Music Group, follow-ing last month's acquisition of several regionalnewspapers from publishing giant VNU. Arcadepresident/CEO Nico Geusebroek says "now thatour parent company has returned to its newspaperroots, we have been forced to change our strategydrastically. Before, the sale of a majority sharewould have been totally out of the question. Noweven a 100% take-over is negotiable."

One deal definitely moving ahead-SonyMusic's London -based SINE division (SonyIndependent Network Europe) and Sony MusicSweden have agreed to buy a 39% slice of theStockholm -based indie Diesel Music. BMGSweden currently owns 10% of the company, butthat share is being acquired back. Diesel's A&Rautonomy will be preserved, with Sony handlingsales and distribution.

In an improbable double-head-er, former French minister of cul-ture Jack Lang and British danceDJ Carl Cox joined forces in thestudios of NRJ in Paris last weekto mix a few tracks, and to cele-brate the launching of the secondParis Techno Parade. Lang wasinstrumental in the creation of theinaugural event last year.

Hamburg -based edel music has acquired theHelsinki -based Finnish subsidiary of K -TelInternational, and will open a new company inthat territory as a result. The deal gives edel rightsto use the K -Tel trademark in Finland for the nextthree years. The Finnish company will be headedby K -Tel veteran Jorma Kosonen. And in a sepa-rate agreement, edel has inked a five-year deal tolicense K -Tel's Dominion Entertainment pub-lishing catalogue for Germany and Italy. A K -Telsource reveals that "potentially there may be otherdeals" in the offing between the two companies.

Sabine Bauerfeind, formerly head of interna-tional exploitation for Universal Music inHamburg, has relocated to Frankfurt, where shestarted last week as manager of international mar-keting for Sony Music Germany.

Also on the move, this time in the UK, is RobVan Pooss, who has unexpectedly departed as MDof Essex FM/Southend. Alex Roland has left FoxFM/Oxford where he was programmer, while atanother Capital Radio station, Kent's Invicta FM,Luis Clarke joins as programme controller fromKey 103/Manchester, where he was programmemanager. And, with speculation mounting as to whowill replace Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio l's break-fast show next year, an occupant of that hallowedslot during the '80s-Mike Read-has joined JazzFM/Manchester as breakfast show host.

Finally, US digital software firm Global MusicOne (GMO) is opening a London office this monthwith the aim of expanding its business intoEurope. Former One Little Indian MD AngusMargerison will be looking after matters, report-ing to GMO chairman Ralph Simon.
