RADDIX Joins Create Music Group, Igniting a New Era for Texas EDM

Texas-based EDM artist Raddix has inked a game-changing deal with Create Music Group - one of the industry’s most powerful engines, known for backing artists like deadmau5 and Marshmello and acquiring culture-shifting labels like Monstercat and mau5trap. Signed earlier this year, the partnership gives Raddix access to CMG’s deep infrastructure - distribution, marketing, and creative support. It frees him to lean wholly into live production, evolve his sound, and strengthen the connection with fans who’ve followed his journey. More than a personal milestone, the deal signals a shift in Texas’s presence on the global EDM map.

Create Music Group assembles a sonic superhub where EDM, hip-hop, and digital culture intersect. With recent acquisitions of Monstercat and deadmau5’s mau5trap imprint, CMG has redefined the possibilities for producers once working outside major markets. For Raddix, this moment landed like gravity.

“This is a full circle moment - not just for me, but for everyone who’s been rocking with Raddix since day one,” Raddix says. “It felt like the universe finally connected the dots after years of relentless grinding.” 

His roots stretch back to Helotes, Texas - a tight-knit town of just over 2,000 where teenage Raddix had a dream. “I built Raddix from the ground up,” he says, “with no industry handouts, just pure passion and belief in the vision.”

That belief morphed into packed-out sets, a spot on iHeartRadio’s Top 12 Indie Artists of 2023, and a Grammy membership. But according to Raddix, CMG saw something more profound than buzz. “They believed in not just my sound but the movement. They respected the freedom I need to create - and the legacy I’m trying to leave.”

The Create Music Group deal rewires Raddix’s operation from the inside out. The music industry machinery hums behind him, giving him room to fine-tune his live sets, deepen fans’ experiences, and build something bigger than a brand.

“From basement sets to festival stages, from being just a lost teenager struggling to find my place in the world to being inducted into the Grammys, this journey has always been about more than music,” Raddix says. “It’s been about proving that someone from a small town with big dreams can make a global impact. Partnering with CMG gives me access to resources and distribution to take this vision worldwide. He says it validates all the sacrifices and opens up new doors for creativity, connection, and community.” he says. “My goal this year is to bring back the energy of EDM from the golden era so many people truly miss. This year is about creating music that brings back that feeling. I know that this partnership with CMG will allow me to bring that vision to the world.”

Texas has never waited for a green light to go hard - and Raddix knows that better than most. “Coming up through the Texas scene, especially from a small town on the outskirts of San Antonio, there weren’t many blueprints for someone like me,” he explains. “We didn’t have EDM labels knocking or execs at our open mics. What we did have was heart. Community. And a grind-it-out mentality that built something real from the dirt.”

That Texas grit helped launch fellow artists Crizzly, Bailo, Mashbit, and Riot Ten - all names Raddix credits as fuel for his journey. “You have to believe in your vision, stay consistent, and be unapologetically yourself,” he says. “The world will catch up. It just takes one spark to light the whole fuse.”

This moment stretches beyond one artist’s rise. It opens the door for producers across the Lone Star State, proving that even without a direct line to the coasts, they can build something magnetic-something heard worldwide. And today, Raddix stands on the threshold of a global movement - one built from scratch, powered by belief, and committed to spreading good energy - one drop at a time.
