Acquisition of Rights
One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP), the digital music rights acquirer,
publisher and distributor, is pleased to announce that it has acquired a
percentage of the producer royalties to over 100 tracks produced by
award-winning producer, Steve Levine ("Acquisition") which includes music
performed by Louise, 911, Culture Club and the Honeyz.
The Honeyz, an English R&B girl group enjoyed three UK top 10 hits produced by
Levine, "Finally Found", "End of the Line", "Love of a Lifetime". Culture Club
found fame with the global hit "Karma Chameleon" and "Do you really want to
hurt me", hits that made Levine one of the most sought-after producers in the
industry.
The Acquisition was completed under One Media's innovative Harmony iP asset
release scheme which includes the bespoke TCAT software, which monitors music
streams across over 600 music platforms around the world, 24 hours a day,
identifying unauthorised use and copyright infringements.
"For someone who has always been interested in tech, this was a big draw for
me", said Levine, "Tracking royalties across the online world is extremely
complicated. much better to partner with a company leading the way in this
field. One Media's TCAT software is a phenomenally powerful game-changing
tool."
Steve Levine has always been at the cutting edge of music and technology,
winning a BRIT Award in 1984 for Producer of the Year. The deal with One Media
will see a partnership that ensures hits such as "Karma Chameleon" which topped
the charts in 1983 will be future proofed, as the TCAT software goes to work.
The Acquisition has been funded through the Company's existing cash resources.
The Acquisition is in line with management's expectations and the Company's
business plan.
Michael Infante, CEO of One Media iP said: "We are big fans of Steve's work and
to complete this deal under the Harmony iP initiative incorporating TCAT care
is a further vindication of our strategy. Steve's production skills are
legendary, he created a sound and theme for the 1980s that was to become the
sound of a generation."
The person who arranged the release of this information is Michael Infante,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
