Exclusive tracks you can’t get anywhere else

Skip the complex negotiations and endless clearances. Rock River owns coveted tracks including Bob Marley remixes and re-grooved holiday classics from legendary artists. We handle both sound recording and publishing rights, giving you one-stop licensing for music experiences your competitors can’t access and no-one other than Rock River can deliver.

Christmas Remixed Collection
Holiday classics from Joe Williams, Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald, reimagined by Dan The Automator, Kaskade, and Bombay Dub Orchestra. Premium seasonal content that makes your holiday campaigns sparkle; simplified one-stop licensing that streamlines your workflow.
