Monstercat has staff based in Vancouver, Toronto, and Los Angeles and has a reputation as an artist-first brand. Since launching, the brand expanded to encompass three labels including Uncaged, Instinct, and Silk. Artists who have released with Monstercat in the past include Kaskade, Koven, DJ Diesel, Alan Walker, Vicetone, ATTLAS, Shingo Nakamura, WHIPPED CREAM, Virtual Riot, and OCULA.
“Our mission has always been to build sustainable, long-term careers for exceptional artists,” shares Daniel Turcotte, President of Monstercat. “Create gives us the reach and support to do that at a larger scale, without changing what makes Monstercat special. We’re still artist-first—only now with more tools to serve them.”
“Monstercat is everything an independent label should strive to be—exclusive, globally trusted, and capable of breaking artists and songs at the highest levels. Mike, Ari, Daniel, Orri, and the entire Monstercat team have built a culture and community at a scale rarely achieved in the music industry,” adds Jonathan Strauss, Co-Founder & CEO of Create Music Group. “We are excited to support their mission.”
Aside from EDM releases, Monstercat is also bringing its expertise in video game brands including Rocket League, Beat Saber, Fortnite, and Roblox. Create Music Group will also expand Monstercat Gold, the label’s subscription-based sync licensing service for content creators on YouTube and Twitch.
