# bushido Partners with AudioShake to Unlock Stem Creation for Remixes, Edits, and Derivative Works

June 3, 2025

bushido, the Music Licensing exchange revolutionizing licensing and artist monetization, has announced a new partnership with **AudioShake**, the award-winning leader in AI-powered sound separation, to give artists the ability to generate high-quality stems from any track—making remixes, edits, and derivative works easier than ever before.

With AudioShake’s cutting-edge technology now embedded directly into bushido’s platform, artists and rightsholders can extract stems—vocals, drums, bass, instrumentals, and more—from stereo files with studio-grade precision. Whether creating a club remix, a sync-friendly edit, or a performance-ready arrangement, artists can now break songs down to their core ingredients in seconds.

> “This partnership is about unlocking creativity and protecting rights,” said **Jordan Katz**, CEO of Bushido. “With AudioShake, we’re giving artists and producers the ability to remix and reimagine catalog songs legally, safely, and at the highest possible audio quality.”

### **Powering the Future of Derivative Licensing**

This new integration complements Bushido’s licensing exchange, which enables rightsholders to preclear their catalogs for sampling, remixes, and edits—setting custom fees, splits, and approval rights per song.

Now, with **stem access and licensing fully connected**, artists can:

- Instantly create remix-ready stems from any licensed song
- Generate clean instrumentals, vocals, or acapellas for live shows, sync, or DJ sets
- Pair derivative works with **bushido’s white-label licensing flow**, eliminating back-and-forth with legal teams

“Artists get to move fast. Rightsholders stay in control while opening up a lucrative new source of licensing revenue and royalties from derivative work.” added Katz.
