Warp20: Congratulations!

December 04, 2009 | News, Press



We here at The Windish Agency would like to extend massive congratulations to our good friends at Warp Records as they ring in their twentieth year of existence. It has been, and continues to be, a pleasure and great honor for us to represent a number of Warp artists, and to work closely with the label itself.

From the very beginning, Warp has redefined the way we think about music, largely because they have always pursued their work with a sense of vision. From their early triumphs with acts like Nightmares on Wax, LFO, and Tricky Disco, to introducing the world to the boundary-pushing work of electronic pioneers such as Aphex Twin, Black Dog, and Autechre, the label established itself as one of the world's premier purveyors of musical innovation. With the more recent success of acts as diverse as Battles, Grizzly Bear, Gang Gang Dance, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Jamie Lidell, Maximo Park, Broadcast, and Born Ruffians, Warp continues to tirelessly push music and the culture surrounding it into the future, and in doing so, they have ensured that their mark upon that future cannot be overstated.

Celebrating their anniversary in grand fashion, Warp has issued a box set drawn from material spanning different eras of the label's history, and organized multimedia events the world over, from London and Sheffield to Paris, Berlin, New York, and Tokyo.

Click here to check out a short documentary celebrating Warp20, featuring performance clips and interviews from Battles, Jamie Lidell, Flying Lotus, !!!, C Born Ruffians and and more!

Matt & Kim take home a Woodie!

November 20, 2009 | Awards, News, Press

It wasn't too long ago that we had the pleasure of reporting Matt & Kim's "Breakthrough Video" win at the MTV Video Music Awards. Things couldn't get any better than that, right?

New Windish Agency Artists!

November 16, 2009 | New Signings

We're very excited to announce the addition of an incredible new set of Artists to the Windish Agency family. In keeping with the spirit of our standing roster, the music created by these acts covers immeasurable artistic ground. From the genre-defying work of Italian pop icon Jovanotti, to the stakes-raising productions of Swedish superstar DJ Steve Angello, to the blown out fog and skittering juke beats swirling around the feet of synth savants Salem, to the globally-minded electropop of Bomba Estereo (and that's just the tip of the iceberg), these artists represent some of the most exciting and innovative music out there today. We are proud to be working with each and every one of them, and look forward to helping bring them to venues all across North America, and beyond.

| Bomba Estereo | Delorean | The D\xC3\xB8 | The Fresh & Onlys | Gold Panda |

R.I.P. Jerry Fuchs

November 09, 2009 | News

We here at The Windish Agency are deeply saddened to learn that Jerry Fuchs, drummer for The Juan Maclean, passed away early Sunday morning.

Jerry was an incredible talent whose inimitable presence behind the drum kit gave liftoff to the music of any project he touched. Through the years, he performed with many notable acts. In addition to The Juan Maclean, Fuchs also spent time in Turing Machine, !!!, and most recently Georgia-based experimental rock group Maserati.

Our condolences to Jerry's family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

CMJ 2009: It's a wrap

October 26, 2009 | Events, Festivals

Another outstanding CMJ Music Marathon has come and gone, which means we're well on our way to waving goodbye to 2009 altogether. While we look forward to doing it all again next year, for now it's time to catch up on some much needed sleep!

Not to sound biased or anything, but of all the many events we attended during this year's CMJ, we had the most fun at our own showcase at Santos Party House last Saturday. A special thanks to all of our Artists who performed, to the staff at Santos, and to those of you that showed up to catch the bands --- you helped make it one of the most exciting shows all week!

Windish Agency CMJ Showcase

October 21, 2009 | Events, Festivals

In case you didn't get the memo, we're a day and a half into the annual CMJ Music Marathon, and New York City is currently pulsing with the sounds of hundreds of performers and the the thunderous stampede of music fans hurrying from venue to venue in a mad dash to catch every set. Not one to get left out on the action, The Windish Agency has its own big bash in store for this Saturday (10/24), when we take control of both levels at Santos Party House for what we're convinced will be the party of the week.

The Windish Agency at CMJ 2009

October 09, 2009 | Events, Festivals

We're now just a little over a week away from one of independent music's biggest events: the sprawling, five-day CMJ Music Marathon. From October 20 to October 24, artists, fans, and music industry professionals won't even have a chance to rest as they race from venue to venue across New York City. Each year countless acts perform back to back sets throughout the five boroughs, big names bring packed crowds into venues far too small for comfort (that's the sacrifice you make), and perhaps most notably, a handful of previously unknown acts burst into the greater musical consciousness with noteworthy performances. The Windish Agency is extremely proud to have an incredible thirty one acts performing at this year's Marathon!

September 17, 2009 | Awards, News, Press

From all the noise the media has been making, one might think that the biggest news to emerge from last week's MTV Video Music Awards was a certain hip-hop superstar's unexpected outburst and the accompanying fallout.

The Windish Agency welcomes Derek Becker!

June 17, 2009 | News

The Windish Agency is pleased to announce the addition of Derek Becker to our staff of agents. Derek officially begins work with The Windish Agency on July 13, 2009, and will bring the following artists to the Windish roster: Baby Dee, Bert Jansch, Extra Golden, LAKE, Mucca Pazza, Rafter, and Wovenhand.

"I am delighted to be integrated into The Windish Agency,\xE2\x80\x9D Derek said when asked about the upcoming move. \xE2\x80\x9CI've been observing their excellent practices and momentum for years with admiration."

Derek comes to us from Satellite Booking, the Chicago-based company he founded in July 2003. He began his career as an agent booking tours for local emerging artists like Bobby Conn and Edith Frost, and over time grew to represent a wide range of acts, both national and international, including The Clean, Silver Jews, Pit Er Pat, and Viva Voce.

According to The Windish Agency president Tom Windish, \xE2\x80\x9CDerek will easily fold into our organization. He already shares our methods and values in developing successful touring careers for his clients.\xE2\x80\x9D

Through hard work, an understanding of the artist\xE2\x80\x99s needs, and a willingness to try new and different approaches, Derek has established himself as a valued booking agent, and The Windish Agency is happy to welcome him aboard.
