Increase sales for Lulu Rouge

Since april I have worked with the Danish electronic duo Lulu Rouge. They released the outstanding 2^nd album ”The Song is in the Drum”. I helped establishing their own label Lulu Rouge Recordings and digital distribution for the international market. This to increase both sales and generate more network for the duo to strengthen their international growth and market profile.

Fans can now buy music directly from the artist

Last week Lulu Rouge launched their own shop to meet fans requests for vinyl and loss-less / wave file sales. We introduced the shop with both the 2 X vinyl deluxe edition of their latest album as well and a super limited 12'' vinyl pressing of ”Fyrkat”. You can now deal directly with Lulu Rouge, supporting the music and artist directly and thereby getting their music right from their studio. We pack and ship the vinyl world-wide.
