Ponyboi has hit the silver screen! Now playing in select theaters, we had the incredible opportunity to music supervise River Gallo’s debut feature, a moving and uncompromising story about a young intersex sex worker on the run from the mob. Big congrats to the entire Ponyboi team on this tremendous film. Listen to the soundtrack playlist here.

Big thanks to Hecho for bringing us on to music supervise the latest spot for Adobe Firefly. The surreal visuals are beautifully matched by Sudan Archives’ just-released track “Dead” – a bold and beautiful pairing. + big love to our friends at StonesThrow and OTM.

Big congratulations to Heavy Duty Publishing Roster Artist Jessica Pratt on her well-deserved wins at the 2025 A2IM Libera Awards, taking home Record of the Year, Best Singer-Songwriter Record, and Best Folk Record!

We’re incredibly proud that our work with CSAA and Deloitte earned Silver in the Effies Sustained Success – Services category – and that “Boys No More” was named an Effies finalist! Big love to the brands out there that embrace music as a strategic, culture-driving force – and aren’t afraid to push creative boundaries in pursuit of proven success. Huge thanks to “Boys No More”, whose talent and charm made this campaign sing.

Big fizzy cheers to our Coca-Cola clients and the creative powerhouse that is Ogilvy NY! Their “Recycle Me” campaign just scooped up four more shiny pencils at D&AD Awards, bringing the grand total to 25+ awards around the globe. We like to think our team crushed the creative brief (and then recycled it, of course). Original music by Heavy Duty Zach Pollakoff.

We’re amped to have handled the music for Casamigos’ new global campaign, “Anything Goes with My Casamigos,” brought to life by the always-brilliant Alex Prager. William Onyeabor’s “Fantastic Man” sets the tone with its vibrant, feel-good energy, perfectly matching Casamigos’ celebration of friendship and adventure.
