Those bands that “walk” alone in the music business have no chance to be considered by music industry. Alkemist-Fanatix Agency supports its bands with the best partners on the market. It’s known by many labels that Alkemist-Fanatix is only working with really good bands who are not only playing for fun but who want to follow the professional music path. We select labels considering the previous work of it and the genre of the band. Our products are the result of a very painstaking job. We deal with the English and German music market and we keep directly in contact with them. As soon as a label decides to sign a band, we give technical and legal support. Alkemist-Fanatix finds the right recording studio to the band: considering the lowest prices and the highest quality.(So that we can offer to the record company a high quality master). It’s the label itself that takes care of the album distribution. Whenever the label doesn’t have any distribution deals , Alkemist-Fanatix can find some.(Plastic head and Pro-Sonic:Uk+26 worldwide countries; Andromeda for the Italian and Liberation for the U.S. distribution).
The Company itself doesn’t offer Booking services, but has a sister company called Machada Promotion www.machadapromotion.com for booking of events & bands. The bands rely on us because we support them with a good and professional service. Our roster is the result of a deep and long selection among many bands that makes Alkemist an important management agency highly considered. Thanks to this way of working , more than 200 bands have already signed with international labels.
We assure you, we will not change our attitude. What we do, it is to share our structure, our collaborators, our means, and our work with you while you will share your music with us. The agency’s first step is to get feedback from labels and the music market.
Company Structure
Carlo Bellotti Management has been consulting and providing services to national and international companies since 2000. Carlo Bellotti Management is based in Italy (Firenze, Montale, Pistoia and Roma) and is founded by Carlo Bellotti (Owner of Alkemist Fanatix Europe).
After 16 years of work in the independent music community I've decided to start this company to work with the bands and labels I like. Since I was doing something active in the music scene, and had been in contact with many labels and bands, I started thinking about the need for these people to use specialized Agencies to promote their music. I believe that it's not possible to promote albums and artists in every country without someone that deeply knows the national industry.
As a person I've always been involved in taking care of relations with people and, my company is based on this attitude. When I started my own company Alkemist Fanatix Europe (operating worldwide) I received a lot of requests from the Italian Marked and I created another company: Quickflow Records Italy.
Carlo Bellotti Management is a group of companies who specializes in multi-platform promotional campaigns, management, marketing, production and distribution. We work with european press (operating with partners in every country), radio (national, regional and specialist) and TV. We think each campaign to the specific artist/Label, using an extremely broad database of industry contacts (both national and international).
