Martin Garrix's two-year legal battle regarding music ownership rights against Spinnin' Records is over -- and so is his relationship with the dance record label.
Early Wednesday morning (Sept. 20), a Dutch judge ruled in favor of Garrix's effort to win back the rights to music he previously signed to Spinnin' Records and its sister company, MusicAllStars management, according to Dutch publication Rechtspraak. As a result, Garrix's contract with the label has been destroyed, and the young Dutch producer is reclaiming the rights to the masters on tracks including his monster hit “Animals.”
“I am happy with this outcome, not only for myself but also for all other DJ's/producers out there, since this case was not only about me, but about all of us artists," Garrix said in a statement.
