131 — Fun Fair Records

Open case ↗

Needs attention

  • Composition: The available publishing agreement grants rights to Funfair Publishing Limited, not the case organization Fun Fair Records. No transfer or authority connecting those companies is documented here. The agreement does not name “YALA - Slowed” or establish that its writer, Mohamed Kaddour p/k/a DJ Zarek, wrote the composition or what share he wrote.
  • The DJ Zarek agreement is dated 7 September 2025, but the available PDF signature fields show 30 July 2026—after the post—and its digital signatures have not been verified and do not cover the whole document. Confirm execution, effective date, and work coverage from the completed signing record and any applicable work schedule.
  • The Third Chair authorization letter is digitally signed for “Funfair Records Limited”; confirm that this is the case owner identified in the database as “Fun Fair Records.”

Rights by work

  • YALA - Slowed

      - Master: Not listed for this work. - Composition: Fun Fair Records’ catalogue lists the composition estate. A publishing agreement contains a broad exclusive license of the writer’s share in compositions written or composed by DJ Zarek, but the available evidence does not establish that he wrote this composition or that the case organization received rights from the named publisher. The case organization’s composition title is therefore not established by the documents reviewed.

    • DJ_Zarek_Publishing_Admin_Agreement.docx-2.pdf (0d7962c1-43f0-4092-ae2b-aca99ab758e9)
      §1.1 grants Funfair Publishing Limited an exclusive license to rights, title, and interest in compositions; Schedule 2 limits co-written works to the writer’s share and defines covered compositions by the writer’s authorship. The agreement names Mohamed Kaddour p/k/a DJ Zarek.
      ?

      The agreement is dated 7 September 2025. Exhibit A says “All compositions to be added at a later date” and does not list this work. The agreement’s authorship-based definition could reach other compositions, but no evidence reviewed identifies DJ Zarek as this work’s writer. The PDF contains signature fields dated 30 July 2026; <code>pdfsig</code> reports signatures not yet verified and signed ranges that do not cover the whole document. The signing completion record was not available for review. The post predates those signature-field dates. The agreement grants a license to the publisher; no publisher-to-case-owner instrument was found in the available library.

    • Third_Chair_-_Fun_Fair_Records_Client_Claim_Authorization_Letter_Completed.pdf (deb3d568-7be2-473c-8b2d-8b7a9d79c8d7)
      Authorizes Third Chair and its engaged lawyers to enforce claims for the named company’s Company Content and receive settlement payments. The PDF reports a valid whole-document digital signature dated 18 August 2026.
      ?

      The letter names “Funfair Records Limited,” while the case organization’s database legal name is “Fun Fair Records.” It is a pursuit authorization, not evidence of copyright title, and does not identify this track individually.

    Document check

    Still needed

    • Evidence identifying the writer(s) and shares for “YALA - Slowed,” plus a completed signing record clarifying the DJ Zarek agreement’s execution and effective date relative to the post.
    • An instrument or other reliable evidence connecting Funfair Publishing Limited’s composition rights to the case rightsholder Fun Fair Records.
    • Confirmation that the signed Third Chair authorization applies to the case owner named in the database.
    • No copyright registration numbers were attached to the case, and the registry search for the selected Spotify track/ISRC returned no candidates. No stored registration response or public-record ID was available to inspect; this is not evidence that no registration exists.

    What supports the chain

    The active Fun Fair Records catalogue asserts composition scope for this track. The DJ Zarek publishing agreement provides possible, conditional support for an exclusive composition license to Funfair Publishing Limited, limited to compositions he wrote and his share of co-written works. The available records do not establish this work-to-writer link or the onward connection to Fun Fair Records. A digitally signed general authorization supports Third Chair’s enforcement mandate for the named Funfair Records Limited, subject to confirming its identity with the case owner.
