Slipstream Expands to Become Largest Independent Music Licensing Platform with Acquisition of Anthem Entertainment’s Production Music Assets

In a major move reshaping the music licensing landscape, Slipstream has acquired key assets from Anthem Entertainment, including its U.S.-based production music businesses Jingle Punks and 5 Alarm Music, along with Cavendish Music in the UK.

The acquisition, backed by Pollen Street Capital, consolidates Slipstream’s standing as the largest independent player in the global music licensing space, significantly expanding its offerings and expertise in music production.

This acquisition grants Slipstream control over an extensive catalog of more than 650,000 tracks, providing unmatched depth and diversity to meet the evolving needs of content creators, brands, and production companies.

With the addition of Jingle Punks, renowned for its innovative approach to branded and custom music content, and 5 Alarm Music, which has serviced high-profile media projects, Slipstream gains a well-rounded portfolio of high-quality, widely recognized production music.

Cavendish Music further complements these assets, bringing a rich heritage in the UK market and offering a catalog that spans multiple genres and styles suited for international licensing needs.

Pollen Street Capital played a critical role in the transaction, providing the financial support and strategic expertise needed to facilitate the acquisition. Moelis & Company acted as exclusive financial advisor to Anthem Entertainment, helping structure and execute the transaction to ensure Anthem’s legacy in production music found a fitting new home.

“By bringing together these distinguished music catalogs under one roof, we’re positioned to better serve our global clients with the breadth and quality of content they require,” said a representative from Slipstream. “With this acquisition, Slipstream is not only the largest independent licensing platform but also uniquely prepared to lead the way in music for media.”

The acquisition is expected to enhance Slipstream’s ability to scale its production services and music offerings to meet the surging demand for licensed music across a variety of platforms. This step also underscores the growing importance of music licensing as a key revenue stream in a rapidly evolving entertainment and content creation industry.

By expanding its resources and capabilities, Slipstream is set to drive new growth and innovation in the music licensing world, reinforcing its position as an essential partner for media producers and creators worldwide.
