Berlin-based music distributor recordJet is celebrating one of the greatest successes since its inception in 2008: recordJet passenger Milky Chance’s single “Stolen Dance” has reached platinum status by selling 300,000 units. On March 27, 2014, the platinum record was officially presented to recordJet by Tobias Herder, chief of Lichtdicht Records, in the cockpit bathtub. Distributor PIAS also received platinum status for Milky Chance’s success.
“It was clear to us from the outset that Lichtdicht Records and recordJet are very similar. Our approaches and concepts for success align in many areas. We are absolutely delighted with the relaxed and creative collaboration with Lichtdicht Records, and especially with Tobias Herder. We’re all certain that Milky Chance is just the beginning. On future projects, we will continue to fly side by side while remaining true to our principles of independence, fairness and authenticity”, recordJet captain Jorin Zschiesche commented on obtaining the platinum record.
Milky Chance are currently on the ascent with their second single “Down By The River”, and were also nominated for the ECHO Music Award in three categories.
About recordJet:
