Reliant Music, a Vancouver-based dance music A&R and artist development company, has announced a partnership with ADA Benelux, the independent distribution arm of Warner Music Group. The deal combines Reliant's song development and A&R capabilities with ADA's international distribution and label services infrastructure, aiming to support artists' records from early creative stages through to global release. The tie-up marks what Reliant describes as the next phase of its international expansion.

Reliant, founded in 2012, is led by John Dexter and Adrian Lock alongside European A&R vice-president Mischa Daniëls, and has ties to hits including Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Loud Luxury's "Body", as well as work with dance acts such as Armin van Buuren and R3HAB. The company operates from Vancouver, Toronto, Amsterdam and Berlin, and recently opened a creative hub at Vancouver's Armoury Studios. ADA Benelux, launched in 2020 as part of ADA (founded in 1993), has previously worked with independent labels including Big Top Amsterdam.
