Founder of Be-Bop Deluxe in 1973, guitarist Bill Nelson wrote all of the bands material. Signed to EMI, the band released five studio albums and scored a top ten UK hit with the single "Ship In The Night." In 1979 Bill disbanded Be-Bop Deluxe and launched his next band Red Noise whose 'Sound-On-Sound' album is often cited as an inspiration by many younger bands. Bill then formed his own independent record label, Cocteau Records, and throughout the 80's and 90's he released many solo albums as well as collaborating with other musicians such as Yellow Magic Orchestra, David Sylvian, Harold Budd, The Associates, Cabaret Voltaire, Sandy And The Sunsets and Channel Light Vessel. As a producer he has worked on albums for Roger Eno, The Skids, Gary Numan, The Units, Channel Light Vessel, The Rhythm Sisters, Nash The Slash and many others. 

Bill has also composed and recorded music for film, television and theatrical productions.

Over the past five years he has released many albums under his current label Sonoluxe Records.

The Music Network of Berlin

Our network represents the interests of medium-sized music businesses in Berlin and brings together local and international business partners. We enhance the standing of the local music businesses in relation to politicians, banks and sponsors. Furthermore, on behalf of our network partners, we undertake marketing for music productions, services and events. Through these activities, we establish a professional basis for co-operations and campaigns, in order to successfully open up new markets.

Our main activities range from bringing together the key players in Berlin’s music scene to public relations/lobbying, and above all, to provide a focal point from which to market Berlin as a music hub.

The Berlin Music Commission aims to establish itself as the national and international representative of medium-sized music businesses in the city, and a gateway to the local music scene. We see ourselves as a driving force when it comes to strengthening Berlin’s music industry, and aim to put it on the right path to eventually compete with New York or London. To begin with, our main task will be to combine the marketing activities of our members, strengthen them and communicate them to the outside world via marketing and promotion campaigns.

Please do not send us e-Mails with demo material. Thank you!
