Epidemic Sound CEO Talks New Remix Series, the Value of AI and Spotify ‘Ghost Artist’ Allegations


Epidemic Sound's remix series, Extra Version, pays DJs and producers to pick from the songs, stems in its catalog — and remix them into something new.

As part of Extra Version, Epidemic pays participating DJs and producers “five to six figure sums” to pick from the songs, stems, samples and loops in its catalog of over 250,000 tracks — and remix them into something new. Epidemic then adds the results to its ever-growing catalog available for use by clients — like content creators, advertisers and brands looking for easy-to-clear songs to soundtrack videos — and distributes them to streaming services. “They’re shaking things up in the best way… It’s all about freedom, fun and keeping the groove 100%.” The company plans to also collaborate with Major Lazer co-founder Switch and rising Korean talent Jeonghyeon on future Extra Version editions.
