Armada’s BEAT Fund Acquires Full Mixmash Records Catalog
The label’s tracks have accumulated more than 200 million streams
Dance music investment company Armada’s BEAT Music Fund has acquired the complete master rights catalog of Netherlands-headquartered Mixmash Records. The financial details have not been disclosed.
The main players:
Mixmash was founded in 2004 by Olga Heijns and DJ/producer Laidback Luke.
It specializes in house music and its various subgenres, such as electro house, future house and progressive house.
BEAT Music Fund was launched in 2023 as the catalog investment arm of indie dance label Armada Music, shortly before it was reorganized as Armada Music Group.
The fund has invested in the catalogs of electronica artists and labels such as Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, NYC-based house label King Street Sounds, Grammy-nominated DJ and producer Jax Jones, and more.
What they said:
Maykel Piron, Armada Music Group CEO: “Olga and Laidback Luke have built an exceptional legacy over two decades, and this acquisition underscores our commitment to preserving and elevating the rich history of dance music.”
Olga Heijns, Mixmash Managing Director: “We ultimately chose BEAT Music Fund because their vision and capabilities aligned perfectly with our goal: to place the Mixmash catalog in expert hands, ensuring our artists’ work is properly monetized and respected.”
