Mo Wax on verge of naming new partner
Mo Wax is expected to end months of speculation about its future by announcing a new label partner within the next two weeks.
The label, whose contract with PolyGram expired in March, is understood to be holding discussions with a number of companies including Beggars Banquet, BMG and Sony prior to making a final decision about its partner.
Company founder James Lavelle was expected to speak with his artists over the weekend to discuss the plans.
Mo Wax signed to PolyGram through its A&M subsidiary following a bidding war in 1995. It is understood that Mo Wax and PolyGram, who met last Thursday, have failed to agree a new deal.
