| Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland - 1 November 2007 - Dark World
International will be participating as delegates in January 2008 at the
Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival in Groningen, Netherlands. An annual event
for over 20 years, Eurosonic/Noorderslag is one of the premiere European
live music industry conventions, continually selling out in advance and
attracting over 1800 music professionals last year. Radio stations across
the EU carry live coverage of Eurosonic performances.
Dark World International President Kris Ameringer and
Studio Manager J.A.Bohr will be attending the daytime seminars in de Oosterpoort
convention hall. According to Kris Ameringer, "This will be our third
year attending the seminars, and we're looking forward to it. The first
year we went and returned with the information that led to our digital
distribution deal with iTunes. The second year we went and returned with
the information that led to our current marketing plan which has already
resulted in a 100% increase in our website traffic with 75% of new visitors
marking us as a favourite site. I can't imagine what this year will result
in."
Last year Dark World International was one of only three
participating delegates from Ireland at Eurosonic/Noorderslag. "It's
sad to note how few Irish and U.K. delegates there are," according
to Kris Ameringer. "We're constantly being approached by industry
professionals and artists asking how they can break into the isles market.
The European music community is very interested in getting over here, but
lacks the contacts due to low festival participation."
While Dark World personnel are attending the daytime seminars,
Dark World artists Kylyra and Tor from Deemed Psychotic will be attending
the nighttime performances. According to Kylyra, "If you're really
interested in what other acts are doing, Eurosonic is the place to be.
For two nights over 25 venues within walking distance of each other host
more than 150 performances from both member and non-member EU countries.
There's also smaller performances in private homes that are open to the
public. You can hear rock, dance, metal, folk and a host of other genres
as well. You've also got a unique opportunity to network with bands from
other countries."
Dark World International is proud to participate as delegates
in January 2008 at the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival in Groningen, Netherlands.
An independent music label based in West Cork, Ireland, Dark World International
has worldwide digital distribution on iTunes. Internet sales in the EU
and across North America are pushing Dark World International to emerge
as a noteworthy independent label.
