Godskitchen Announces Spundae Worldwide Takeover!  
02.18.2004  
The last 3 years have seen Godskitchen secure their place as the UKÂ's biggest dance promoters. Their flagship venue AIR has reinvented itself physically and musically, their arena events reach over 250,000 people each year and Global Gathering has sold out for the last 3 years to 35,000 clubbers. So with the UK operation running smoothly the US plan has been put into action.  

   

After months of negotiations in the US Godskitchen are pleased to announce their recent acquisition of North AmericaÂ's largest dance events company Spundae Worldwide.

GK are whole-heartedly buying into the global dance scene with the acquisition of Spundae Worldwide. This venture is ground breaking and a first for any UK dance brand; giving Godskitchen unique and unrivalled access to the US dance market. By building upon an already established and nascent scene and by buying into a readymade fan base of dance fans Godskitchen have masterminded this deal so that they can deliver the best of the GK experience directly to their target audience. GK will become the premier brand for large-scale events; festivals and tours while Spundae will remain the base for the weekly events.

Spundae is easily AmericaÂ's biggest electronic dance music promoter. The company was founded in San Francisco eleven years ago by Peter Beckers and Guiv Naimi, with Spundae Worldwide launched in 2001 with Brooks Pettus as the managing partner; Mr. Pettus will now adopt the role of CEO of GK North America. Founders of Spundae Peter Beckers and Guiv Naimi will over see the regional and national promotional activity of GK USA including events in San Fran, LA, Vegas, Houston, and Chicago.

Brooks Pettus Commented: Â"This deal is about leveraging a global base to forward Dance Music in North America. Godskicthen will thrive where other UK brands have failed because their approach to the scene is organic; it's from the street up rather then the brand down. It's the early stages of the dance scene here, once we can expand into broad media to support our well promoted events, GK North America may just give our UK partners a run for their money as the leading country in electronic dance music.Â"

Over the last 3 years Spundae has held events in 19 North American markets and has booked virtually every top DJ in the world. They have executed 15,000 person events on the famed Hollywood Boulevard in LA and produced arena scale events with Clear Channel in San Francisco. Godskitchen will continue with events of this scale and caliber, continuing to build on the incredible dance music base that Spundae has created in the States.

GK CEO Neil Moffitt commented: Â"We have spent 3 years getting to this point and we feel we have everything in place for it to be a great success. We have learnt a lot from others mistakes and adjusted our plans accordingly. We're not trying to re-invent the wheel; we realize the US market is already established. We want to enhance and polish what is already there using the foundation of Spundae and the success of Godskitchen over the past few years throughout Europe and the rest of the world. By marrying the two together and adapting it for a new market we believe we will have a fantastic product to deliver to the all important end user...the customer.Â"With over 500 dates in the US in 2004 Godskitchen's presence will most definitely be felt right across the vast country. The best production, talent and venues will make up part of this ultimate clubbing experience and be a milestone for UK clubs. GK will be producing monthly events in each of the core Spundae markets and half a dozen other territories as well as three or four arena scale events on major holiday weekends and 2 exceptional NYE events. This is the biggest venture for any UK club brand in the States and with the backing of some of the most respected names in US dance music 2004 is going to see Godskitchen conquer America.
