Target Distribution ApS Godthåbsvej 26B, 2nd Floor
Target Distribution ApS Godthåbsvej 26B, 2nd Floor 2000 Frederiksberg Denmark Target Distribution ApS was officially established in august 2003 by people with a long story within the music industry. Our goal is to present quality music that we personally understand and appreciate. Our vision for how quality music is presented has expanded enormously through the years – as the music industry has changed for better or worse – so that Target Distribution ApS is much more than “just” a distribution company today. Target Distribution ApS launches an average of approx. 10 new album, EP or single releases every week, so the above is only a very small fraction of our artists and releases. Next to our physical distribution, where we equally deal with both the big chain stores and small music stores in Denmark and abroad, we have a strong digital sales and marketing setup with the ability to sell and present our entire catalog anywhere in the world to i.a. Itunes, Amazon and Spotify. In recent years we have entered new territory by the establishment of the following new business areas: Merchandise/clothes production Webshop Magazine/mail order Concert booking www.targetmerch.dk www.targetshop.dk www.targetmag.dk www.targetbooking.dk Not to mention the great effort we make in the development of artists on our own record companies Target Records www.targetrecords.dk and Mighty Music www.mightymusic.dk. It is especially with focus on Target Records and Mighty Music that we are looking for partners outside Denmark. Since the beginning of Target (and before) we have i.a. been represented on the two largest Music fairs, respectively Popkomm in Germany and Midem in France. What we are looking for in international business partners is among other things: • International agreements (master deals, licensing or distribution) of our catalog and artists signed to our own record companies. • International synchronization and new business of the works and music we release. Both in correlation to movies, games and TV. • International live performances and showcases for our artists. Likewise, we are always looking for exciting international artists and companies with an eye to representation in Denmark via Target Distribution ApS. Target Distribution represents/distributes i.a. following companies exclusively in Denmark; 13th Planet, AFM, Bad Taste, Black Mark, Blackend, Blooddawn, Blues Bureau, Border, Brownhouse, Candlelight, Deathrow, Ferret, Freekids Records, Frontiers Records, Glitterhouse, Gusten Fætter, Indie, Lifeforce, LMP, Magna Carta, Mascot, Massacre, Melodika, Metal Blade, Metal Mind, Misanthropy, Moonfog, Napalm, Pad & Pen, PHD, Powerrage, Prosthetic, Provogue, Regain, Relapse, Rise Above, Season Of Mist, Soulfood, Sub Pop, Suburban, Trechoma, Trustkill. Currently 9 people are working at the Target Distribution ApS headquarters in central Copenhagen. Target Distribution ApS is a member of the Danish industry associations DUP and IFPI.
