BMG has acquired the publishing interests of German music producer Luca Anzilotti, co-founder of the Eurodance group Snap!
The acquisition represents a significant step in BMG’s long-term strategy to consolidate the Snap! catalogue. BMG previously acquired the sound recordings for the entire Snap! catalogue in 2016 and further strengthened its interest with the acquisition of Michael Münzing’s writer shares in 2022.
Snap!’s debut album, World Power (1990), reached No.1 in several countries across Europe, earning gold and platinum certifications.
The group's 1992 hit single, Rhythm Is a Dancer, topped charts globally, including the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy and Belgium. It also peaked at No. 5 on the US Hot 100 and achieved platinum status in Germany and the UK.

Luca Anzilotti said: “Having seen firsthand how BMG has successfully managed the Snap! catalogue, I feel incredibly confident that my legacy is in the best possible hands. Bringing all these pieces together under BMG's roof is the logical next step, ensuring our music continues to be actively cared for and reaches its full potential globally. I'm excited to see what comes next for Snap! with BMG.”
Jasper Niebuhr, MD, GSA, BMG, added: “Snap!'s music is a global phenomenon, and BMG has been dedicated to preserving its cultural impact and maximizing its potential for over a decade. This latest acquisition of Luca's publishing interests marks an important milestone for us, bringing us closer to a fully aligned vision for this exceptional catalogue.
“With greater synergy, we can more effectively optimise both recorded and publishing revenues worldwide, including unlocking new sync opportunities. It's about ensuring Snap!’s music continues to thrive and reach both existing fans and new audiences for years to come. Thank you, Luca, for your continuous trust.“
