Worthington, the former head of A&R at XL Recordings and founder of Warner- owned 679 Artists. The exec previously signed and worked with artists such as The Streets, Basement Jaxx, Plan B, Death From Above 1979, Badly Drawn Boy and Marina & The Diamonds amongst others. He is joined at 37 Adventures by Alex


Bean (50 Bones/Lost In Paris) and Sahil Varma (Transparent), both of whom were part of 679’s A&R team. “We are incredibly excited to be


working with Nick and his team on his new venture,” said [PIAS] Co-Op GM Jason Rackham. “He is a high-calibre A&R executive with a track record that speaks for itself. We are very proud that he has chosen to partner with [PIAS] Cooperative on his return to the independent sector. Nick is in the process of developing some very exciting new artists that 37 Adventures will be taking to market over the coming months.” Said Worthington: “We’re really


pleased to be working with [PIAS] Cooperative. For a label focused on the discovery and development of new talent they’re the ideal partner to help us break acts in the UK and around the world.” Meanwhile, [PIAS] Co-Op has also


signed new long-term deals with Simon Raymonde’s Bella Union and Jeff Barrett’s Heavenly Recordings. The latter is approaching its 25th anniversary and will release the debut album from Kettering's Temples in early 2014. [PIAS] Cooperative was formed when


“Nick Worthington is a high-calibre A&R exec with a track record that speaks for itself. We’re delighted” JASON RACKHAM, [PIAS] CO-OP


Universal Music sold Co-Op to indie group [PIAS] for a reported £500,000 - a deal that was cleared by EC regulators in March. The sell-off was related to divestments made by Universal following its £1.2bn purchase of EMI Music. Speaking to Music Week, Simon


Raymonde said: “Returning 100% to the indie set up at [PIAS] felt a bit like coming home. Perhaps there was a hope to have kept more of our team, but that whole last six months of waiting for [the deal] to happen/not happen, led to a lot of job insecurity at Co-Op/UMG. Then by the time the sale did finally go through, a lot of the staff had fled. “By the time [PIAS] acquired Co-Op I


was not even in a deal with Co-Op any more so this was firmly a case of being with the right team for me at the right time. It’s early days so I'm not going to get carried away but we have had very good recent chart showings for Roy Harper, Jonathan Wilson, Midlake, around the territories in the final quarter of this year, and I am excited about the year ahead. “In this business I’ve learnt never to say


things are going too great because it seems that there's always a 12ft crocodile hiding in every bunker just when you're least expecting it, but all-in-all, given the massive upheaval for so many people in all the companies affected in the acquisition, I feel we’re in the right place and remain as upbeat and hungry as ever for my bands to achieve the successes they so deserve."
