We all know about back when Danny Buch the Atlantic Radio promoter utilized part 15 AM and FM for numerous years to promote new artist ( https://part15lab.blogspot.com/2018/01/atlanta-records-part-15-escapades.html ). I had always wanted to contact him but the only way I could ever find was via his Linkin account, but I didn't want to become a paying member to do that and I didn't particularly investigate any deeper than that. Suppose if I had really tried I could have succeeded in touching base with him, but just never put forth the effort.
However, today I just noticed that in Billboard magazines weekly "Executive Turntable" section 4/11/2025, it announced a new venture of Danny Buch. I wasn't even sure if he was still around, but he certainly is and has stayed very busy since his part 15 ventures. It's a real nice write up, but what really excited me is that it concludes by giving Danny Buch's email contact! Like wow.

Danny Buch, a promo veteran with decades under his belt who helped break artists from Stone Temple Pilots to Brandi Carlile plus a fair share of “hair” (bands), announced he has departed Sony Music after a 20-year run at two of the label’s indie distribution arms and is launching his own shop, Danny Buch Promotion.Until recently, Buch was senior vp of promotion at Sony’s The Orchard, where he worked artists like BTS, Kelsea Ballerini, Walk off the Earth, Jack White and Bad Bunny at radio. Pre-Orchard, he helped pioneer independent artist promotion by launching RED Distribution’s promo arm in 2005 and stayed there until Sony merged RED into Orchard, starting in 2017. (The RED name was retired later.) During his RED days, Buch helped break Phoenix, Ingrid Michaelson, Alabama Shakes and more indie darlings.
But before he saw RED, Buch clocked 25 years at Warner, where he played an integral role in Atlantic Records’ promotion department between 1980 and 2004. Co-heading promo for much of his tenure, Buch lead efforts on behalf of Atlantic giants like AC/DC, INXS, Rush, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, Hootie & the Blowfish, STP and more. In the mid-to-late 1980s he broke a chunk of hair/glam metal hits of the day, given Atlantic was home to RATT, Skid Row, White Lion, Winger, Twisted Sister and more.
On his next chapter, Buch said: “In launching my new venture, I recognize the opportunity to tap into my years of relationships, in helping both artists & labels. I’m excited about the incredible prospects that lie ahead.” Contact: [email protected] ... ...
