To help independent or major labels and/or artists getting their specific
releases/projects properly released in Sweden, Scandinavia or even on an
international level. In some cases a project could include being a part of the
whole process going from recording to mastering, getting artwork together,
negotiating distribution-deals, pressing stock, setting up media-coverage,
working out marketing plans, getting a booking agent in place etc…
Every project and artist is unique and demands separate plans, thoughts and
solutions.
Get in touch to discuss more in detail.

To be able to put out music of all genres to the general public, the music
lovers of the world with a focus on everything URBAN or DANCE related…
In other words a label with an open to all types of music that moves you and
get the listener to react one way or the other. Simply put, there is only good
or bad music. We will aim for the first choice!
Also, music today is about owning rights and not automatically just connected
to the formats we are used to (CD/vinyl). We are heading towards “the future”
in ultra-speed & we are yet to find out exactly HOW music will be distributed
or sold. Perhaps it’s a combination of the old school distribution way, the new
ways of downloading, everything in between and ways we are yet to only
fantasize or dream about. What we do know is that Lights Out! will be there in
the first row, eager to find out more.
A label where its all about making reasonable profit-splits with the artists
signed and where careers are built over a longer period of time.

To help create, organise and work out unique events, tours, club nights,
presentations, label nights and much more in close collaboration with artists,
labels, brands or others on a local or global scale.

To work closely together with either all new or established brands on the
market of all kinds and types. A creative force focused on the developing of
brand concepts through non-traditional communications. We complement the more
traditional ways of doing business through youth targeted in-your-face
guerrilla street marketing tactics.
With an aim to “reach out” to the right groups “the cool way”, to strengthen or
introducing brands on the market to the fast paced, know it all, trend seeking
urban teen groups of the new millennium. Especially to make the gap between
brands and artists much smaller and make the commercial industries see the
advantages of working close with recognisable faces and voices during a longer
period.

In a time and age where the business we like to call music goes through a
dramatic & much needed change, once again the smaller independents makes all
the difference. Small to the size but huge in terms of being creative, thinking
in alternative ways, moving things forward and just simply getting stuff done!
Fresh out the box, Lights Out! is all the above and then some…
Lights Out! is the brainchild of Patrik Larsson who also runs the company on a
daily basis. With over 10 years working professionally as the main A&R and
labelmanager, responsible for the many urban and dance genres represented, at
leading Scandinavian independent companies such as MNW and Playground Music (a
company Patrik also helped start), there is enough experience and know how to
make this company a competitive and significant player in the business. Not to
mention the years spent building an amazing local as well as global network
consisting of artists, labels, managers, booking-agents, festivals, clubs,
DJ´s, media and much more.
Over the years Patrik has exclusively (in Scandinavia) worked labels as diverse
as Tommy Boy, Profile, Rawkus, K7, Rapster, BBE, Okayplayer, Decon, Nervous,
Next Plateau, Grand Royal, Jazz Fudge, Battle Axe, Wu-Tang Records, Quannum,
Ultimate Dilemma, Rufflife, Copasetik, Crammed Discs, Ozone, Soul II Soul,
Genuine, Landspeed, Fastlife, Stones Throw, Def Jux, Long Lost Brother, Dome,
Beggars Banquet, XL Recordings, Matador, Mo´Wax, 4AD, Wiiija, Mantra, Koch,
Groove Attack, Up Above, Uncle Howie, Big Dada, Ninja Tune, iMusic, Far Out, Mr
Bongo, Emperor Norton, Strut, Ultra, Sequence, Black Hole, Hedkandi, Jazz FM,
Beechwood, Mastercuts, Bar De Lune, React, Defected, Underwater, Mute,
Novamute, Future Groove, Mushroom, Perfecto, Stereo Deluxe, Soma, Glasgow
Underground, Freskanova, Fresh, Bolshi, R&S, Athletico, PIAS Recordings,
F-Communications, Frikyiwa, Smile, Moonshine, Essential Dance, Basic Beat,
Nation, Outkaste, April, Trancemaster, Fuised & Bruised, Byte, Full Cycle,
Game, Discograph, Nocturne, Vital and Pinnacle just to mention the most obvious
ones in random order…
On a local level Patrik has worked labels such as Raw Fusion, Jugglin, DNM,
Royalty Music, Juju Records, David Vs Goliath, Deeplay, Devrim and Hemmalaget.
Acts include Advance Patrol, Varanteatern, Tyskarna Från Lund, Blues,
Prominent, Honestly, Eric S, Axwell, Stonebridge, Timbuktu, Chords, Organism
12, PST-Q, Fjärde Världen, Rantoboko, Zoro, Spotrunnaz, Loop Troop, Promoe,
Astma, Damn!, A Bossa Eletrica, Hofstone, Ison & Fille and many more.
Patrik also helped put together the most influential and successful Swedish hip
hop compilation to date called “Ordkrig Vol 1” that came out a few years back.
Besides the above he has also been a proactive hip hop fanatic for over 20
years being one of the first original south Swedish b-boys. One of the first to
help bring the culture to the masses through various clubs, events, concerts
etc. After further years of releasing records as a producer, artist and
songwriter + deejaying across the country and just loving and living for music
period, its time to take things to a higher level, a higher ground.
