Welcome on Board, Tonproduktion Records Fortuna Ehrenfeld!

21. November 2024 • Digital Music Distribution

Especially in times of promising digitalization of the market, Fortuna Ehrenfeld continues to focus on intensively nurturing and addressing their loyal and steadily growing fan base for upcoming productions. “In the course of this, we have decided to cooperate with Kontor New Media and Edel to maintain a precise focus on the production and further development of valuable physical vinyl and hybrid projects.” The Tonproduktion Records dual leadership of Solveig Weidner and Martin Bechler emphasize the warm and direct communication with their contacts at Kontor New Media.

During the hardship of the pandemic, Weidner/Bechler founded the Fortuna Ehrenfeld label and have proven with numerous chart entries that it’s possible to work seriously and profitably in the new, sometimes confusing market.
“In times of the current streaming situation, all focus is on not losing control over the content,” says Bechler and adds: “This morning the algorithm rang my doorbell, but its handshake was too clammy for me.”
With the next arrow in their quiver, Fortuna Ehrenfeld is now going international. Bestselling author ROMY HAUSMANN, currently nominated for the Emmys in New York for the Netflix adaptation of her novel DEAR CHILD, has presented poems to Fortuna for musical interpretation, about which Bechler says: “I’ve waited half a lifetime for someone to throw such dynamite on my desk. Bukowski in female form with a crystal-clear, feminist stance. No beating around the bush. Straight to the point. We’ve knitted a music album with Romy à la Anne Clark that will blow the dust out of your wig.”
Frank Leffler and Dennis Harm from Kontor New Media emphasize: “We are very pleased to be able to support the blazing creative cell Fortuna Ehrenfeld as a distribution partner and are looking forward to many exciting joint releases, experiments, and successes!” And finally, Botsch Böttcher (General Manager Acquisitions Edel Music) “is as happy as a dog’s heart to be able to resume the successful and long-standing collaboration with his favorite rascal Martin Bechler in a new position.”
