Megatrax

What Megatrax does

Megatrax Production Music is a Los Angeles-based independent production music library founded in 1991 by John Dwyer, operating under Idea Junction Ltd. and powered by Cadenzabox platform technology. The company licenses rights-cleared production music to film, television, advertising, video game, and interactive media producers, with a catalog exceeding 200,000 tracks covering genres from orchestral to hip-hop, country, children's music, and world music including a dedicated Brazilian curation (O Som do Brasil). Its enterprise client base spans all major U.S. broadcast networks, premium cable, professional sports leagues, and a major music label, supporting a quote-based licensing model.

Megatrax generates revenue through three streams: (1) production music licensing for pre-cleared catalog tracks; (2) custom music composition services delivered via a global network of composers across the Americas, Europe, and Australia; and (3) radio imaging under the WIZZFX sub-brand, producing format-specific music beds, sound design, and work parts for Alternative, CHR, Hip-Hop, and Country radio stations. Distribution is primarily through a self-serve digital storefront with curated playlists as the main discovery mechanism, supplemented by direct engagement for higher-value custom work.

In March 2026, Megatrax was acquired by production music platform Slipstream. The deal added Megatrax's 200,000 tracks to Slipstream's catalog (combined exceeding 1 million), aimed to modernize distribution, and explicitly targeted Latin American market expansion. Post-acquisition, Megatrax continues to operate under its existing brand and platform, now as a subsidiary of Slipstream.
