DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency

DVBBS has signed with Ace Agency for worldwide representation, because when your discography still causes spontaneous crowd surges and your drop catalogue doubles as cardio, it’s probably time to recalibrate the booking strategy.

Ace will represent the duo globally, with North America (U.S. and Canada) handled in collaboration with IAG (Independent Artist Group)—a smartly layered setup for a group that plays both global mega-festivals and highly curated cross-genre shows.

Still managed by STRVCTVRE, DVBBS first detonated onto the scene with “Tsunami”, the 2013 hit that became EDM’s unofficial natural disaster. The 2014 vocal version with Tinie Tempah went No. 1 on both the UK Singles and Dance charts, and the track hasn’t really stopped echoing through festival fields since.

But this isn’t just nostalgia. DVBBS has 12 platinum singles, including “IDWK”, “West Coast”, “Tinted Eyes”, and “Not Going Home”. They’ve found the sweet spot between heavy drops and Spotify-era melody, collaborating with everyone from Blackbear to Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Wiz Khalifa, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. Also worth noting: Tiesto and Major Lazer have both remixed their tracks, which is about as close as dance music gets to being knighted.

Live, they’ve clocked stages at Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, EDC, Ultra, and pretty much every festival that requires a wristband and a backup battery. They’re not warm-up acts. They’re main stage fixtures, the kind that come with pyro clauses in the rider.

Oh, and they’re not just artists—they’re infrastructure. With their own label and publishing arm, Kanary Records, DVBBS has spent the past few years ensuring they’re not just playing the game—they’re owning a piece of it.

Remi Wolf Signs With Red Light Management

Remi Wolf—the funk-pop maximalist with a paint-splattered soundboard and the vocal swagger of a millennial Janis Joplin on a Red Bull bender—has officially signed with Red Light Management for management. The move comes just about a year after she dropped her album Big Ideas (July 2023, Island Records), a record that asked the question, “What if Prince, Beck, and the Teletubbies all collaborated in a hotbox?” and somehow made it work.

Wolf continues to be repped by TBA Agency for live bookings worldwide outside of Europe and the UK, with CAA handling her European/UK touring, because global funk distribution requires careful territorial delineation. On the publicity front, it’s Biz3 in the US and Imran Malik Publicity in the UK, an international split that suggests her email chains now have more CCs than a Google Doc in startup purgatory.

With over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Remi’s streaming footprint is as loud as her stage fits. Her top markets—Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and Sydney—are essentially the core of any indie-sleaze

Joss Stone Signs With Pure Represents for Europe/UK Representation

Soul-pop powerhouse Joss Stone has officially signed with Pure Represents for representation in Europe and the UK, rounding out an international rep lineup that’s as globally mobile as her discography. She continues to be repped by UTA for the rest of the world, while her PR remains split between Full Scope PR (U.S.) and DWL Music PR (UK)—a fittingly diplomatic arrangement for a singer who once played live in over 200 countries during her Total World Tour.

Stone currently draws over 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with her top markets including São Paulo, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Amsterdam, and Buenos Aires—proof that her soul-infused vocals and barefoot-bohemian vibe still resonate deeply across both hemispheres. Her most recent release, “Loving You” with Shaggy, dropped in September 2023 as an independent single, blending reggae-tinged warmth with her trademark retro soul delivery.

And while Joss may not dominate headlines like some of her pop contemporaries, her festival résumé reads like a highlight reel:

Amy Brenneman Has Signed With Anonymous Content for Management

Amy Brenneman has signed with Anonymous Content for management, a move that pairs one of TV’s most enduring dramatic forces with a firm best known for shaping the prestige-TV-to-film-to-global-streaming crossover pipeline. You know—the good stuff.

Brenneman is probably on your mental IMDb for roles that were either heartbreaking, critically acclaimed, or some hybrid of both. She broke out on NYPD Blue in the ‘90s, created and starred in Judging Amy (based on her own mother, no less), and spent six spiritually chaotic seasons on Private Practice. More recently, she delivered a grief-laced gut punch as Laurie Garvey in The Leftovers, HBO’s existential apocalypse series that started weird and ended sublime.

She currently stars in Amazon’s The Horror of Dolores Roach and is set to appear in the upcoming indie drama Tinkers, alongside an ensemble of festival favorites.

Brenneman continues to be repped by CAA and Apex Public Relations, but Anonymous gives her a new vector: the kind of management firm that gets your drama into a film festival and your memoir optioned by A24 in the same month.

Rosalía Signs New Endorsement Deal With New Balance

Rosalía has a new gig. No, it’s not a flamenco-electronica fusion project with Björk (though give it time). It’s New Balance. The Spanish genre-blurring pop priestess has officially signed on as the brand’s newest ambassador—and the cinematic lead in a five-part campaign that feels less like a sneaker launch and more like a Netflix pilot.

Her debut centers around the 204L silhouette, a sleek, retro-tinged model that now comes with just the right amount of Iberian cool. The film series follows Rosalía from New Balance HQ to the streets of New York, where she hand-delivers a mysterious package. Spoiler: it’s a painting. Of a logo. For a shoe. And yes, it somehow works.

With this move, Rosalía laces up alongside a stacked New Balance roster that includes Jack Harlow, Action Bronson, Aminé, and Storm Reid—not to mention athletes like Shohei Ohtani, Coco Gauff, Kawhi Leonard, and Cooper Flagg. The brand is building a cinematic universe, and Rosalía just got top billing.

Call it performance art. Call it branded content. Call it another step in New Balance’s

Pedro Sampaio Has Signed With WME for Representation

Pedro Sampaio has signed with WME for representation. The move brings one of Brazil’s most-streamed artists under one of Hollywood’s biggest talent umbrellas—because if you’re going to make global moves, you might as well do it in Dolby Surround.

Sampaio, who currently boasts over 8.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, has a fanbase anchored firmly in Brazil’s cultural hubs—São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Campinas, and Curitiba—but increasingly, his music is finding legs abroad. His latest release, “Perversa” with J Balvin, dropped via Warner Music Brasil and feels like a heat map of every club banger from Ipanema to Ibiza: bilingual, beat-forward, and engineered for maximum dopamine.

He continues to be managed by VNew Brasil and repped for PR by BPMCOM, keeping his core team local even as his international ambitions grow. And make no mistake, the festival circuit is already taking note. In recent years, Sampaio has lit up stages at Rock in Rio, Planeta Atlântida, Lollapalooza Brasil, and Festival

Adidas Taps Missy Elliott, Samuel L. Jackson, GloRilla, Jennie, and More for Its Latest Superstar Campaign

Adidas’ “Superstar” campaign returns with cinematic flair and an all-star cast, highlighting the timeless influence of its iconic sneaker. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, the campaign kicks off with a moody teaser titled “Pyramids,” which compares the shoe’s cultural permanence to, well, actual pyramids. “No Wi-Fi. No food court. But 4,000 years later, people still fly across the world to see ‘em,” Jackson quips.

The full spot, “Clocks,” ups the tempo and the roster. Music legends Missy Elliott, GloRilla, Teezo Touchdown, and BLACKPINK’s Jennie appear alongside NBA star Anthony Edwards, skateboarding icon Mark Gonzales, and model-actress Gabbriette.

Emily Engstler Signs with FirstPick Management

Emily Engstler, the versatile forward currently with the Washington Mystics, has signed with FirstPick Management for representation. She joins a roster that includes WNBA talents like Diamond DeShields, Kaela Davis, and Tyasha Harris. Engstler was previously represented by The Fam Sports.

Drafted fourth overall by the Indiana Fever in 2022, Engstler’s professional journey has been marked by adaptability and resilience. After her rookie season with the Fever, she had stints with the Minnesota Lynx and eventually found a role with the Mystics. During the 2024 season, she averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, showcasing her defensive prowess and versatility on the court .

Off the court, Engstler has expanded her horizons by playing overseas. In the 2024–2025 offseason, she joined Hapoel Lev Jerusalem in Israel, where she delivered standout performances, including a game with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists .

With her new representation at FirstPick Management, Engstler is poised to further elevate her career, both in the WNBA and internationally.

Mike Epps Signs with Artists First for Management

The Upshaws are in their final season, but Mike Epps isn’t going anywhere.

The veteran comic and actor has signed with Artists First for management, joining a roster that leans into multi-hyphenates and comedy heavyweights. He continues to be repped by UTA across film and TV, IAG for comedy touring, and Kovert Creative for publicity.

And while a lot of comedians are going podcast-microphone-in-the-basement, Epps is still a stage guy. He recently headlined the Fireworks in Paradise Comedy Festival in the Bahamas, adding a little sun to his signature brand of grit-and-glam. Before that? He suited up as a guest sideline reporter for the Big 3, casually trading punchlines for play-by-play.

Epps currently stars in and executive produces Netflix’s The Upshaws, which just announced its fifth and final season. He also recently appeared in The Underdoggs alongside Snoop Dogg and can be seen in the docu-special Buying Back the Block on HGTV, a more personal lens into his off-stage mission.

If you forgot that Mike Epps also writes, in 2017

Muse Signs With Wasserman

Muse, the genre-blending British rock institution that has spent the past two decades toggling between dystopian anxiety and symphonic bombast, has signed with Wasserman for representation in both North and South America. The band continues to be managed globally by Three Six Zero.

This new agency alignment comes on the heels of their latest single, Unravelling, released last month via Warner Music—a track that leans into their trademark tension-and-release formula with a polished edge that suggests they’re still quite comfortable taking a wrecking ball to existential dread.

Liquid Assets: The Celebrity Hydration Gold Rush

Hydration used to be a functional category. PepsiCo built it with Gatorade. Coca-Cola responded with Powerade, then doubled down by acquiring BodyArmor for $8 billion. Unilever shelled out a reported $600 million for Liquid I.V. — a packet-based upstart with celebrity investors ranging from Kendall Jenner to Kevin Hart. It was

Gary Payton II Signs With WME for Representation

Gary Payton II, the defensive dynamo known for his relentless energy and impact off the bench, has signed with WME for representation, marking a new chapter in his off-court career. He was previously repped by Goodwin Sports Management.

Affectionately dubbed “The Mitten” — a nod to his Hall of Fame father, Gary Payton — Payton II has carved out his own niche in the NBA through elite perimeter defense, hustle plays, and a championship-winning stint with the Golden State Warriors in 2022. His journey has been anything but linear: after going undrafted in 2016, he bounced between G League stints and short-term NBA contracts before earning his role in Golden State’s rotation with tenacity and high-IQ play.

Beyond the hardwood, Payton has also made headlines for his advocacy work in support of children with learning disabilities, sharing his own experiences with dyslexia and ADHD to help reduce stigma and increase awareness.

Now with WME in his corner, Payton II seems poised to expand his presence beyond basketball — whether that’s in media, activism, or entrepreneurial ventures — all with the same defensive edge he

Travis Scott Enters His Smoothie Era with Erewhon Collab

Travis Scott is blending vibes—literally. The rapper and creative polymath has joined the Erewhon smoothie club with the debut of his first-ever signature drink: the “Storm Storm Smoothie,” named after his daughter, Stormi. Equal parts nutrient-dense and brand-aligned, the smoothie is the latest move in Scott’s ever-expanding empire of unexpected partnerships.

Curated by Scott himself (because of course), the drink brings his signature touch to Erewhon’s lineup—a menu already known for turning celebrity collaborations into $20 cultural events. He joins a tight club that includes BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Tyla, and Sabrina Carpenter, all of whom have previously lent their names (and presumably taste preferences) to the upscale grocery chain’s blender.

The Erewhon deal follows a bigger one: Scott was recently named Oakley’s first-ever Chief Visionary, tasked with shaping the brand’s creative future. And if you’re sensing a marketing wave building, you’re not wrong—Scott is also teasing the release

Shania Twain and Clearly Canadian Join Forces For New Campaign

In a campaign that feels like the closest thing to a national holiday for Gen X and elder millennials, Clearly Canadian has made a fizzy comeback—with Shania Twain in tow. The sparkling water brand, dormant in the ad world since 1991, is reintroducing itself with help from another icon who hasn’t aged a day and still knows how to sell a chorus: Twain, now rebranded as Canada’s most glamorous beverage bandit.

The commercial, produced by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort, plays like a cross between Indiana Jones and a REI fever dream. Shania sprints through the woods, dodges imaginary bears, and commandeers a cooler full of Clearly Canadian with the grace of someone who’s absolutely been here

Jack Harlow and Endrick Appear in New Balance’s Latest Tennis-Inspired Spot

New Balance has a sneaker called the T-500, which is not a robot but a tennis shoe — and in its latest campaign, it turns out that tennis can, in fact, be played inside a shoebox. A real one. With real football phenom Endrick volleying around not with a racket, but a soccer ball, because the rules are flexible in surreal brand worlds.

The new installment in New Balance’s “Quiet Please” series places the Real Madrid-bound striker in the middle of a match that’s less Wimbledon and more meta-sport satire. The kicker? It’s all happening inside an oversized shoebox. Watching from the sidelines of this box-universe are Endrick himself (life-sized this time) and model Gabriely Miranda, lounging at a country

Damson Idris Signs with ID-PR, Expanding His Power Team Behind the Scenes

Damson Idris has signed with ID-PR for public relations, further rounding out a behind-the-scenes team that’s as calculated and polished as his rise to stardom. He continues to be repped by CAA for talent, managed by M88, and represented in the UK by Laraview—a boutique firm helmed by Aira Idris, who, yes, is likely family. Hollywood may be built on relationships, but this one’s literally in the bloodline.

The London-born actor has emerged as one of his generation’s most versatile and magnetic performers, thanks in large part to his breakout role as Franklin Saint on Snowfall—the critically acclaimed FX drama co-created by John Singleton. For fans of the show (and there are many, who knows I might even have it playing in the background while I’m writing this), Idris’ transformation from a bright, entrepreneurial teen into a haunted kingpin was a masterclass in narrative slow burn and emotional precision. It also turned him into a must-watch name for casting directors and streaming platforms alike.

Since Snowfall wrapped its final season in 2023, Idris hasn’t slowed down. He starred opposite Anthony Mackie in Netflix’s sci-fi action film Outside the Wire, executive

Brian Lachman and Karina Thomas Join Corson Agency

Corson Agency just added 2 people to its agency. Brian Lachman has signed on as an agent, bringing with him a sonic arsenal of bass-driven and electronic talent including Dirty Audio, ALRT, Chamberlain, CODES, and Dack Janiels.

Lachman’s move is less about changing desks and more about signaling a deliberate push by Corson into the aggressive corners of the electronic and heavy music world. Previously Head of EDM and Metal at Prysm Talent Agency, Lachman wasn’t just booking club slots—he founded their Metal division, making him a bit of a genre diplomat in an agency world that often doesn’t know what to do with death growls and dubstep in the same spreadsheet.

It’s also a bit of a two-for-one deal. Karina Thomas, who joined Prysm as a junior agent and Lachman’s assistant in September of last year, is making the leap to Corson as well. Think of it less as a mentorship arc and more as a carefully orchestrated backstage pass from one agency ecosystem to another. Thomas had been quietly ascending while working closely with Lachman—proof that even in the pyrotechnic world of bass music, the assistant pipeline is still where careers get built.

Lachman also brings credibility from his time in

The band continues to be repped by UTA for touring and managed by High Maintenance Management, forming a team that seems equal parts nostalgic and strategic, kind of like wearing a vintage band tee with a $1,000 leather jacket.

Edge of Paradise Signs With TKO Agency for Worldwide Representation (Excluding South America)

Edge of Paradise, the symphonic-metal-meets-cyberpunk-hard-rock band that sounds like the soundtrack to a dystopian space opera where androids have trust issues, has a new booking agency. The Kirby Organization (TKO) will now handle the band’s representation worldwide—everywhere except South America, where IDL Entertainment continues to hold court. FM Music Management remains firmly at the helm, guiding the group’s overall strategy like a gothic Gandalf.

Spotify puts their monthly listener count north of 41,000, with Helsinki, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Jakarta, and Ashburn, Virginia forming a surprisingly geographically scattered fan map. (What do Finnish metalheads and suburban Virginians have in common? Apparently, a taste for power vocals and post-apocalyptic guitar riffs.)

Touring-wise, the band has previously jumped on lineups with genre heavyweights like HammerFall and Sonata Arctica, which in metal circles is the equivalent of getting knighted at the castle gates.
