Waxploitation Records publishes a roster of artists and  writer\/producers from around the world whose music has been featured in  commercials for Apple iPhone, Adidas, and Sony PlayStation, as well as  television shows like Homeland, Ray Donovan, Breaking Bad. <\/p>\n<p> Zach Katz, BMG U.S. President Repertoire &amp; Marketing, said, &#8220;Jeff  and his team have a unique blend of taste, culture and business acumen.  They are part of a select few who continue finding new ways to connect  with the creative community and their audience. We are grateful for the  opportunity for BMG to align with their musical interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Antebi said, &#8220;Our industry thrives on creative partnerships. It&#8217;s an  exciting time for music discovery and artist development. The  combination of Waxploitation&#8217;s roster and BMG&#8217;s world class pool of  songwriters and artists opens the door for some very ambitious  collaborations.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Recently, Waxploitation released its highly anticipated Stories for Ways  &amp; Means project which features original children&#8217;s story  collaborations with Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Zach Galifianakis, Danny  Devito, Frank Black, and Devendra Banhart.
