Production music licensing platform Slipstream acquires production music library Megatrax in a deal that significantly grows Slipstream’s catalog.

Slipstream has announced the acquisition of Los Angeles-based production music library Megatrax. The acquisition significantly expands Slipstream’s global catalog to over a million tracks available for commercial use worldwide.

The deal also significantly strengthens Slipstream’s presence in Latin America, where a significant share of Megatrax’s revenue is generated. Following the acquisition, Megatrax will continue to operate independently while it is integrated into the Slipstream platform over the coming months.

“This acquisition reflects our long-term consolidation strategy,” said Dan Demole, CEO of Slipstream. “Megatrax is a highly respected, composer-led catalog with decades of history in television, film, and advertising. By integrating it into our proprietary licensing platform, we can modernize distribution, expand directly into Latin America, and improve Slipstream’s offering to our clients around the globe.”

Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Hollywood, Megatrax represents more than 200,000 tracks created by professional composers, songwriters, and musicians for film, television, and advertising. While AI-generated content is on the rise, Slipstream vows to continue investing in human-created music intellectual property.

The Megatrax acquisition follows Slipstream’s 2024 acquisition of Anthem Entertainment’s production music business, including Jingle Punks, 5 Alarm Music, and Cavendish Music. Together with its prior strategic partnership with music publisher Kobalt, Slipstream has rapidly expanded its licensing business across North America, Europe, and now Latin America.

“Latin America is one of the most dynamic growth regions in media and brand marketing,” added Jesse Korwin, Chief Revenue Officer of Slipstream. “Megatrax brings established relationships and a catalog that reflects authentic, region-specific genres across multiple Latin American markets. There is rising demand for culturally specific music across both traditional advertising, television, and digital streaming platforms, and this positions us to meet that demand at scale.”

“For more than three decades, Megatrax has been committed to providing our clients with high-quality music coupled with top-tier customer service,” said Ron Mendelsohn and JC Dwyer, Co-Founders of Megatrax, in a joint statement. “Joining Slipstream positions our label for the future, allowing our catalog and composers to benefit from modern licensing infrastructure, global reach, and a company built for the evolving needs of producers and brands.”
