About Blow Up Events and Songs

Blow Up Songs Limited is a London based independent publisher and PRS member. Established in 1996 by Blow Up DJ and founder Paul Tunkin, it is a sister company of Blow Up Records Limited.


At Blow Up Songs we only work with music that we ourselves have a passion for, which has lead to the creation of an eclectic bespoke catalogue of nearly 300 contemporary works. Our music has proved popular for TV, Film and advertising, encompassing genres from 60s-styled funk, soul & boogaloo to indie, pop and electronic. We broadened our catalogue even further in 2008-2010, with several debut releases for new artists through Blow Up Records ranging from indie-pop and art-rock to kraut-rock styled electronica. The catalogue continues to increase as the label releases new material, with five debut albums planned for 2012 including new signings David Woodcock, Fay Hallam & The Bongolian & Daiquiri Fantomas and new albums for Baltic Fleet and Alfa 9.


Blow Up Records controls the master rights for most recordings, giving us the unique advantage of being able to process the majority of clearance requests for both master and synchronisation within 24 hours, if not the same day. Blow Up Songs has placed music with brands including Nike, EA Games, Renault, The Red Cross, Wella, ASICS, MG Rover and more.
