FiXT is an American independent media company with several divisions including a record label, an online music store, a Film/TV/Video Game Music licensing arm, and a remix contest site and community[1]. FiXT was founded and is owned by Klayton, a musician most know for his Electronic Rock project Celldweller.

History

FiXT started in 2006 as an outgrowth of Esion Media, the name under which Klayton published his earliest Celldweller material. Over the next few years FiXT signed a small number of artists with a similar style. Some of the first releases on FiXT were remix compilations for Celldweller tracks that were called the Take It & Break It series; the remixes were solicited from fans who could download and remix the song files for free. Out of this series grew FiXT Remix, a separate site that regularly hosts remix contests for artists signed to FiXT or carried in the FiXT Store.

FiXT Store

The company also operates an online music store centering on various genres of electronic music, including but not limited to psy-trance, electro-industrial, EBM, darkwave, drum'n'bass, and hard techno.

FiXT Remix

FiXT Remix is a separate site from the FiXT Store around which revolves a community of professional, semi-professional, and amateur remix artists who are able to compete in regularly occurring remix contests. The contests were, at first, all done with Celldweller songs, but later expanded to include FiXT label-mates Subkulture[2] and Blue Stahli and even some bands not on the label that are sold through the store, such as I Will Never Be The Same. The contests are now sponsored by a growing list of music software designers[3].
