Description
Green Galactic Communications' New York office is open for business, with industry luminary Peter Wohelski becoming an integral part of the Green Galactic family. With its New York office, Green Galactic promises new levels of marketing, publicity, and promotional excellence to its clients throughout the world.
Green Galactic has earned a stellar reputation for outstanding artist/label promotions and events within the electronic dance music industry. But the firm's rapport with younger, forward-thinking audiences has attracted such diverse clientele as Loeb & Loeb, Wherehouse Music, Wesley Snipes' China One Restaurant, AIDS Project Los Angeles, Best Buy, and LA Mayoral Candidate Francis DellaVecchia. Green Galactic co-founders Susan Mainzer and Lynn Hasty credit Green Galactic's success to its people.
"We don't study the community-we're part of it. We've spent our lives devoted to music, art, and film, and know what hard work and passion can bring."
Peter Wohelski joins Green Galactic as Director of Label Relations. For over a decade, Wohelski has been at the forefront of electronic music culture's expansion and proliferation in America. Perhaps best known as A&R Director of electronic music powerhouse Astralwerks, Wohelski directly supervised the domestic development of Grammy award winners The Chemical Brothers (Wohelski won a Gold Record Sales Award for Dig Your Own Hole), as well as The Future Sound of London, Q-Burns Abstract Message, and Spacetime Continuum. Wohelski also received acclaim as Manager for Detroit techno label Planet E Communications, and as the publisher/editor of TRiP Magazine, one of America's first techno fanzines. As a DJ, Wohelski has played to audiences worldwide, appearing in Anchorage, Barcelona, Brasilia, Detroit, London, Los Angeles, Miami, San Juan, and San Francisco. "Wherever he's been, Peter has been a leader and a winner," says Mainzer. "What can I say? We are honored and proud to have Peter on our team."
Wohelski is already making Green Galactic's arrival felt on the New York scene. In a span of a few months, Green Galactic has promoted events for the Tribeca Film Center, UJA, and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce as well as projects such as Nosferatu, Better Living Through Circuitry, and Gang Girls. "People sense that Green Galactic offers a true alternative to the 'usual' East Coast publicity teams," says Wohelski.
