Independent dance label Armada Music, founded in 2003 by Dutch trance DJ and producer Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron and manager and agent David Lewis, said Tuesday that its investment vehicle Beat Music Fund has acquired Amsterdam-based music publisher Cloud 9 Music, bolstering its publishing division.
Cloud 9’s roster includes the likes of U.S. house music veteran Green Velvet, aka Curtis Jones, aka Cajmere, South Africa’s That Girl, and Dutch DJ and producer Hardwell.
“As part of the acquisition, the teams of Armada Music’s existing publishing company, Armada Publishing B.V., and Cloud 9 Music will merge to form Armada Music Publishing,” the companies said. “Employees from Cloud 9 Music will join the team, effectively tripling its headcount.”
Financial terms weren’t disclosed. “This strategic move underscores Armada’s mission to position itself as the best partner in the in-demand global electronic dance industry, projected to reach $20.9 billion by 2033,” the firm said.

This article contains Ms. Marvel spoilers.
Ms. Marvel episode 2
Ms. Marvel episode 2 is every bit as charming as the first one, although perhaps slightly less packed with countless MCU references. There’s still a whole lot of ’em, though, and we’re doing our best to break them all down for you. Here’s everything we found so far…
Ant-Man
Kamala tries a bunch of Ant-Man related tests and none of it works. She also listens to his podcast and his name has come up more than any hero other than Captain Marvel – maybe he’s going to take on the role Wolverine served in the comics?
In the comics, everyone’s favorite cranky X-Man was one of Kamala’s all-time faves and he makes a surprise appearance early on to help Kamala out. He puts up with her non-stop enthusiasm and teaches her a few things, even begrudgingly coming to like her.

"We've been missing a voice... And we don't even know what that is." LevelFilm in Canada has released an official trailer for the indie documentary titled Underplayed, which first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Filmed over the summer festival season, Underplayed presents a portrait of the current status of the gender, ethnic, and sexuality equality issues in dance music. The doc film profiles a number of different female Edm DJs and musicians, examining how underrepresented and underplayed they are in the Edm (Electronic Dance Music) community. It's an attempt to right the wrongs and highlight great talent shaking things up. The film features Nervo, Rezz, Alison Wonderland, Tygapaw, TOKiMONSTA, with an original score composed by Kate Simko. It's available on VOD now for anyone to give this a look if they're interested in watching. Alas, as much as I love the Edm scene, I really did not...

It’s no secret that nearly every genre of music outside of pop itself suffers from a moderate or severe gender imbalance problem, but the spotlight rarely falls on how women fare in electronic dance music. So students of sexism in the arts may take a ready interest in “Underplayed,” a handsomely photographed documentary from Amazon Prime that argues persuasively for women getting more seats at the table — or standup spots behind the turntable — even if it’s better at offering up underdog tales of individual female DJs who’ve triumphed than it is at getting at root causes of why they might’ve been held down.
In lieu of narration, director Stacey Lee peppers “Underplayed” with a lot of flash cards with deeply discouraging statistics about how many women are making it in this corner of pop culture. In 2019, the 15 highest paid DJs made $261 million, and they were all dudes,...
