BOXWORK MUSIC





















Honest, reliable and diligent are not often words one would use to describe the often shark infested sea that is music publishing.  At least, not in my experience anyway.


BOXWORK MUSIC is a breath of fresh air and currently handling publishing duties for WNCL Recordings and West Norwood Cassette Library.

DAVID BOWIE - Guardian





















THE GUARDIAN name check PLASTIC SOUL in Alex Petredis' review of David Bowie's "Blackstar" LP.

"Sue (Or in a Season of Crime) offered pained vocals and skronking jazz over a rhythm based on an obscure late-1990s drum’n’bass track that may well have piqued Bowie’s interest because it was by Plastic Soul, the name he gave to the sound of 1975’s Young Americans."
