Germany-headquartered distributor Zebralution has signed distribution agreements with three independent labels and independent artist Bawo, expanding its reach in London.
The deals include partnerships with electronic music label 8 Head, indie record label and creative studio Casa Nueve, Brighton-founded Folded Music and London-based artist Bawo.
8 Head launched as the new imprint of UK electronic producer Gerry Read, whose track It’ll All Be Over was named Pete Tong Essential Tune of the Year and who has collaborated with German producer DJ Koze.
The label focuses on curated electronic releases and plans to announce additional artist signings.
Casa Nueve operates between London and Barcelona as both a record label and creative studio.
The company develops projects for multidisciplinary artists while organizing events and community gatherings centered on music, literature and visual arts.
Its roster includes Uma, an alt-pop artist who has worked with Puma Blue, Nilüfer Yanya, Rosie Lowe and SALPA, a Catalonia-based musician blending jazz and experimental electronics.
“It’s a pleasure and a privilege to work with labels and artists who form the very fabric of the contemporary underground music community, and we look forward to playing our part in presenting their incredible music to listeners around the world.”

Folded Music, founded by Alex McCall, operates from the UK and Paris as a record label and music publisher. The company represents electronic and jazz acts including Asta Hiroki, Bon-Psy, Catch92, Fthmlss, Tristan De Liege and Woodini.
Bawo, a London-based artist, combines rap, garage, grime and soul. His 2023 project Legitimate Cause showcased his ability for pairing wordplay with melodic compositions, said Zebralution.
