Bucks signs admin deal with independent label Bigo & Twigetti

25 June 2025 - Press release

Digital-first classical and electronica label has earned over 500m streams over the last two years

Bucks Music Group has signed an administration deal with London-based independent record label Bigo & Twigetti.

Bigo & Twigetti mixes classical music, electronica, sound design and more. The forward-thinking company built a reputation on adopting an early digital-first approach, embracing platforms like Bandcamp and Spotify long before the wider classical music industry. Today, the label’s artists garner tens of millions of streams per month, with the company having achieved over 500 million streams in the last two years across Spotify, Amazon, Apple and Deezer. That’s alongside regular radio play in the UK and worldwide.

The company is known for encouraging experimentation and creative freedom in its artists. This has attracted musicians normally found recording Hollywood soundtracks or touring with major rock bands, who come looking to stretch themselves. 

Artists and acts with releases through the label include Curve Ensemble, Franco Robert, Koshun Nakao, Marika Takeuchi, Christopher Dicker, Wilson Trouvé, Rael Jones, Fiona Brice and Ed Harcourt.

Also releasing via the label is Bigo & Twigetti founder Jim Perkins, a composer and producer whose work has been performed at The Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), The Turner Contemporary, The National Portrait Gallery and London’s Southbank Centre. 

Perkins’ music has been streamed over 50 million times across Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer and has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, Radio 6, NPR, WNYC and RTE. 

He has released four full-length albums: Grains (2011), Constance (2015), Pools (2019) and Imprints (2023).

Howard Price, Head of Media at Bucks Music Group, said: “Partnering with Bigo & Twigetti is an exciting and motivating step for Bucks. It brings a rich catalogue lovingly driven and curated by Jim, exploring new soundscapes and textures, including repertoire by unique and experimental talent such as Curve Ensemble, Franco Robert, Koshun Nakao, Marika Takeuchi, Christopher Dicker, Wilson Trouvé, and Fiona Brice, as well as Jim himself. The way in which Bigo & Twigetti has developed is extremely impressive.  We are working together with Jim and the team to realise worldwide opportunities, develop sync and enhance administration. We’re looking forward to a long-term, prosperous relationship.”

Jim Perkins said: “I'm delighted to sign this deal with Bucks Music, which will allow us to continue to grow and open up new opportunities. We're extremely proud of what we have built independently, but now feels like the right time to work with a new partner to expand even further. Howard and the team at Bucks really understand the ethos of Bigo & Twigetti and we're confident that our catalogue is in great hands.”

Bucks’ catalogue includes works written by David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Procol Harum, DJ Fresh, James Blunt, Professor Green, Rudimental, Beyoncé, CAN, Pete Doherty, Roni Size & Reprazent, David Arnold, Guy Chambers, Sacha Skarbek, Troy Miller, Seton Daunt, Ash Howes, James Dring, Erol Alkan, Little Barrie, Nadine Shah, Manpower, Erland Cooper, CATTY, Emma Blackery, The Heavytrackerz, Brooke Bentham, Molly Payton, Johnny Madden, Joshua Epithet, Rosbeh, Clavis7even, Murdo Mitchell and more.
