Concord Music Publishing ANZ Acquires Stake in Julian Hamilton’s Catalog

Concord Music Publishing ANZ has acquired an interest in the publishing catalog of Julian Hamilton, the songwriter, producer and musician who co-founded Australian electronic music group The Presets.

The deal:

• The company has acquired Hamilton’s work across four albums by The Presets.

• That includes a share in songs such as “My People,” “Talk Like That,” “This Boy’s In Love,” “Are You The One?,” “Girl And The Sea,” and “Martini.”

• The Presets are one of Australia’s largest electronic music acts and are credited with taking the genre into the mainstream.

• Concord has also signed Hamilton to a new publishing agreement covering future works and titles outside the acquired catalog, effective immediately.

Beyond The Presets:

• As a songwriter and producer, Hamilton has collaborated with artists including Silverchair, Flight Facilities, Cut Copy, Flume and more.

• The classically trained musician has also written numerous works for the Sydney Dance Company and Chunky Move.

What they said:

• Julian Hamilton: “Partnering with Concord Music Publishing through the sale of a portion of my catalog is a significant milestone for me. I love these songs. They are the fruit of over three decades of creativity, collaborations and a whole lot of partying. I know Concord are going to take great care of them, and I’m proud knowing that these tunes will continue to reach listeners in new ways for years to come.”
