Heist Records
Heist Records is a Scottish music production and licensing company, which provides original music and artists for the interactive entertainment industry.
Formerly known as Jack’s Hoose Music, and founded by Ged Grimes, an original member of Scottish pop band Danny Wilson (“Mary’s Prayer”), the company has enjoyed global success producing music for top selling computer games including Enter The Matrix, Amplitude and American Idol.
Ged is also a member of the group Simple Minds, who have enjoyed phenomenal global success selling more than 40 million records throughout their 30-year career.
Heist is uniquely placed to initiate areas of creative collaboration between the games industry and the music industry’s emerging talent.
Ged’s work on music game titles such as Amplitude (Sony) and Rhythmic Star (Namco) brought music and gaming fans together, resulting in a truly immersive interactive experience for the game player.
Other notable projects have included licensing original music to Universal Pictures for The Bourne Supremacy movie trailer, theme music for Sky TV games Shrek 3, Ben 10, Tom and Jerry and the eclectic game soundtrack to comic super-hero Earthworm Jim 3D.
The BAFTA award-winning game title Quarrel, released in 2011, features a Latin music soundtrack written and produced by Ged and is an integral part of the gameplay experience.
Heist Records has also been growing its roster of new musical talent. The company currently represents a range of acts for licensing, including DJ artist Farfletched, singer/songwriter Alex Hynes and indie rock band Avast.
