Benztown is partnering with APM Music to provide stations with access to APM's AI-driven music search platform and expansive library of over 1.3 million fully licensed tracks. Available via cash or barter, the service is aimed at streamlining production for on-air, digital, and social media content.

The collaboration brings APM's intuitive music discovery tools to broadcasters, offering advanced features like natural language "Prompt Search," "Similar Song" matching, and customized playlists based on genre, mood, occasion, and trend. With a catalog spanning every music style, APM adds over 8,000 tracks and 180 curated albums monthly, including authentic archival music and tracks with stems.

"We are thrilled to have Benztown put APM's unmatched music catalog at the fingertips of a very broad radio audience," said Adam Taylor, President & CEO of APM Music. "We look forward to seeing radio stations of all sizes leverage the power of APM's platform to take their programming to the next level."

APM's music has been featured in award-winning productions and sampled by major artists including Kendrick Lamar, Missy Elliott, Tyler the Creator, and Dr. Dre. The company's contributors have earned honors from the Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and numerous industry-specific awards.

For Benztown, the deal marks a major step in offering a suite of audio production tools under one roof. "This has been the goal," said Dave "Chachi" Denes, President of Benztown. "To give stations everything they need-from imaging and commercial production to world-class voice talent-while helping them save money without compromising quality."

With this partnership, Benztown now offers a complete 360-degree production solution, including 23 imaging libraries, access to over 150 voice talents via barter, and AI-powered spot creation through SPECai, developed in collaboration with Compass Media Networks and ENCO.
