Circulate Music is focused on supporting culturally impactful music projects with creative marketing and direct music licensing, that includes global distribution services being delivered through The Orchard/SONY. Circulate also handles A&R and provides asset acquisition services for culture-driven projects when it comes to licensing music outside of sync.

Circulate’s sync music division, Leaky Sync is a boutique music licensing collective that pitches songs for placement in advertising, games, TV, and film, providing an extra layer of support for our projects.

Additionally, Circulate has formed pub arms Circulate Artists Publishing (ASCAP) and Circulate Music Publishing (BMI) to help manage our client’s administration needs, while providing song exploitation for their catalogs.

upcoming project

XAVIER QUIJAS YXAYOTL

a legacy tribute project

CULTURE x MUSIC x EDUCATION

With the recent passing of Aztec~Mayan flutist, Maestro Xavier ​Quijas Yxayotl (bio), his family estate and Circulate has agreed ​to come together and create culturally significant new releases. ​By doing so, we’ll be making Maestro Yxaytol’s unreleased works ​available to remix and rework for artists who represent their ​indigenous lineage through their music, across North America.

Yxayotl (meaning ‘tears’ in Nahuatl) is truly a master, as one of ​Mexico’s few artists who could make authentic Mesoamerican ​instruments by hand. His legacy will continue to shine through a ​series of tribute projects.

We will first build momentum around new releases and share ​unseen videos of Maestro, that will lead up to presenting remix + ​rework opportunities as prepare for a Tribute Project in 2025.

You can experience Maestro’s craft on the newly created ​Azteca~Maya Flute Journey playlist, here on Spotify.

project highlight

LATINAS is a dynamic, upbeat song written by Alfonso Lugo and Vince Miranda that unifies Latina women across 25 countries, while shining equality and love of all Latino & Hispanic cultures.The campaign leveraged various media partnerships that surpassed the 10+ million fan + music discover engagement mark.

What really set the tone was the partnership with Avakin Life, where their 3D virtual world concert for Hispanic Heritage Month 2021, scheduled Alfonso + Vince to headline, having their customized avatars perform a 3-song set for 3-days in a row within the game’s Brazil Square scene.
