Where Creativity Meets Rhythm
From the iconic heritage of Expanded Music to today’s chart-ready pop productions – Iron Avantgarde Publishing connects generations of artists, producers, and songwriters in one vibrant creative network.
The Legacy of Expanded Music
With the acquisition of the master and publishing rights of the legendary Italian label Expanded Music, Iron Avantgarde Publishing made a strategic leap into the world of pop, dance, and electronic music.
Founded in Bologna in 1972 by Giovanni Natale, Expanded Music shaped the international Italo-House, Dance, and Techno movement of the 1980s and 1990s with acts like Cappella (“U Got 2 Let the Music”), 49ers, Fargetta, Anticappella, DJ Professor, and Datura.
Today, this catalog stands as one of the most significant archives of Italian electronic music.
Under the administration of Iron Avantgarde Publishing, this heritage is being re-imagined for the future — through new artists, fresh collaborations, and a global vision.
EDITION FN TOP MUSIC
With the launch of our first Pop/Dance edition, EDITION FN TOP MUSIC, we mark a significant milestone: we now represent the long-established and highly successful dance producer and DJ Falko Niestolik.
Who is Falko Niestolik?
Born in Berlin in 1978, Falko Niestolik began his musical journey with house and breakbeat records in local clubs – inspired by his first purchases from the renowned “Ministry of Sound” label. From around 2004, he started producing his own tracks and remixes in a Hamburg studio, quickly gaining recognition in the scene.
He has created remixes for top-tier artists such as Axwell, Steve Angello, Michael Jackson (official), Jerry Ropero, Ian Carey, Chris Lake, Tom Novy, Albin Myers, and many more. His own singles—like “Cha Cha Cha”, “The Love of Sound”, and “In My Life”—have been played by world-renowned DJs, including David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Roger Sanchez, and The Swedish House Mafia.
On stage, Falko has performed internationally: he supported Tiesto in Vienna, and David Guetta in Graz, and has appeared at festivals such as Ruhr-In-Love, Mayday, Nature One, and others.
With EDITION FN TOP MUSIC, we reaffirm our commitment to first-class Pop and Dance productions—and offer Falko Niestolik a platform where his creative potential in the Pop/Dance realm can fully shine.
