BorderBlaster in Cannes with new deal and new releases
K
OLLECTOR, the real-time online application that tracks worldwide radio broadcasts, announced a deal with Swedish label BorderBlaster yesterday covering BorderBlaster’s entire catalogue. BorderBlaster has offices in London and Paris, and recently released Past Present Future, the new studio album from the legendary Manu Dibango. “Kollector is a 360 solution for publishing and tracking the broadcasting of a song worldwide. All in real-time. The advantage for an artist or a company is that Kollector makes it possible to follow broadcasts and the evolution by the minute,” Georges Williams, founder of BorderBlaster, said. “The information is constantly updated which is a really useful thing for all content owners who have songs playing on radio anywhere.” In Cannes with BorderBlaster is rapper/ singer-songwriter Kof, at midem to perform two showcases, the second tonight at the Villa Mystique — the eve of the release of his new single Be Like You. Speaking to the midem News, Kof said that live performance is something he really enjoys, one of his best-remembered performances being at Glastonbury. “When I walked out on stage there was hardly anyone in the tent,” he said. “But as I started playing, people walking past started to come in. By the end of the show the tent was packed — with about 2,000 people.” A UK radio favourite, Kof’s new EP is released in April, supported by a tour.
