Hot take
MNRK Music Group (formerly Koch Records and eOne Music) positions itself as a major independent record label with a truly global reach and a digitally savvy approach. With a vast catalog boasting over 65,000 tracks, including GRAMMY winners and platinum hits, and home to renowned imprints like Dualtone and Last Gang, MNRK has significant resources for both established and emerging talent. They offer a range of services from label operations to artist management and publishing support, and operate in every major market. However, despite their independence, MNRK’s history of ownership transitions and their sheer scale can sometimes lead to a more corporate, less personalized experience for creators—potentially echoing some of the gatekeeping seen at major labels. Still, their commitment to artist growth and international strategy keeps them relevant for artists looking for reach without the full constraints of a major.
