Sunset Music Publishing Announces Licensing Deals for upcoming year.

The Sunset Records licensing and publishing company, Sunset Music Publishing announces new strategic partnerships for companies to work its catalog of recorded music.

Sunset Records announces a series of licensing deals with music licensing companies MTV.Soundtracks, Audiosocket, Crucial Music, Carlson Entertainment, RumbleFish, Gray V., Synchup, Songs For Your Vision, Pump Audio, Ricall / Pure Play Music, HD Music Now and with The Music Network for the content to be included in their new digital music licensing service and Advertising Network. Sunset is a premier Indy labels that has managed to sign music over the last year and half, that cater to every style and format needed for placement in a film, TV and Ad.

All of these companies now have full access of the tracks from a vast music catalogue, with the opportunity to license these songs to film, television, and advertising companies in need of music. Don Lichterman, the head of the Sunset Music Publishing Company set his label group up with labels from all genres for this ability to license his catalog out to film, TV and Ad Companies. “We have a catalog of recorded music to work that is now spread out over six (6) different labels with every style, genre and format,” says Lichterman about his Sunset label group, “which is appealing to production companies.” Lichterman adds that he also has “the ability to work well within every budget.”

Sunset has been setting these companies up with its’ entire catalog of music over the last month. The label is also not stopping at these deals. Lichterman says they are now looking into deals to get the catalog out to more of these types of licensing companies. “We are now looking into working with other companies in this same way.” Companies like Telepictures Music, DMX, Pravda Music, Konsonant, LaLa Music are all on the label heads radar and he states that “we also want to get into the in flight radio programs that I listen to when I use the airlines to travel.”

Throughout the remainder of this year and into 2009 Sunset’s catalog of recorded music will be worked out to these other ancillary markets for the first time since starting to sign new music. Sunset will now be marketed directly to top studios, film companies, advertising agencies and television programs in the hope of placement of their music. And, with the Music and Song Catalog Company and its online digital service, they have a network of top advertisers that have signed up to be included in that system.

Don Lichterman says, "In the day and age where everything is built on search engines, it is no different within the licensing world." “We have Steve Tilleli and Ric Laue signed to our classical label and we have Capt. Crunk and Blackwell signed to the Sunset Urban label. Tropical Records has started to sign new world music acts to add to the Stondie (Caribbean) and Cryout (Reggae) roster; we have Sunset Jazz Recordings for jazz music and Sunset records has the Federal Moguls, Blackbird, Grayscale, The New Surreal, Richtaste, TenPenny Joke and Zamza which all have their very own alternative and pop rock style.” Sunset spread its label group thin for the purpose of licensing out its catalog of recorded music.

Based in Nashville, CBuJ is known for distributing hit music all over the world with top recording artists as the Kentucky Headhunters, Joe Ely, Marc Chestnut, the Jazz Crusaders, Patsy Cline, It’s A Beautiful Day, Buckethead and more (www.CBuJ.com). Sunset’s catalog will add its great mix of new recordings along with its special markets titles realized by the label over the last three years.

Sunset has been expanding its distribution all year. "I was closing our manufacturing deal with Morris Beegle (P&D/Hapi-Skratch) and he mentioned that he worked with John Burns (President of CBuJ). I agreed to terms that day,” says Don Lichterman, the head of Sunset. "You cannot find better sales people in our industry," Lichterman says about CBuJ’s staff. CBuJ accounts for the orders and sales of hundreds of millions of records with 125 years of combined major-record label and worldwide music distribution experience to offer Sunset.

CBuJ was originally started to provide distribution to independent labels representing various music genres. Sunset Records is expected to release new projects every month over the next year that include RichTaste, Kapital A in the 4th quarter, and Lichterman also says to expect more “special markets, licensed material, Home Videos titles and even some new artists to be released in the last quarter this year.” Sunset’s expansion this year includes all of the Sunset’s manufacturing and distribution.

Sunset’s upcoming releases by Kapital A and Richtaste already have initial orders at retail, and Kapital A created the Theme Song for the American Indoor Football Association (AIFA). Richtaste will officially release their first single, "Good Days Are Gone," to radio this week. The album is scheduled for release on September 23. Kapital A is a releasing Why Not on November 4th with the AIFA Theme Song used as a promotion with the new CD. And, currently, The New Surreal’s “We Got Time” is all over Hot AC Radio and the song is featured on CMJ’s web site this month. The entire Sunset records label group is named sixty-eight (68) times on the initial 51st Grammy Nominations Ballot. The label now boasts to having sixty two (62) titles in stores all over the world.
