Hydraulix scores sync with Netflix series ‘Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts’: Exclusive

Hydraulix has just landed his first Netflix sync.

The Sydney electronic producer landed his bouncy instrumental track ‘Nothing Can Stop Me’ in the new show Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, his first placement on the giant subscription TV platform.

‘Nothing Can Stop Me’ features in the ninth episode of the new animated all-ages series, which premiered last week out of the United States.

Neflix is a growing beast with an insatiable appetite for content.

That’s created opportunities for Hydraulix and countless other songwriters and musicians from these parts to sync their works across its global platform, and get paid.

This week, the streaming giant announced it has 167 million subscribers globally, and blew past its own expectations by reporting that it added 8.7 million new subscribers in the fourth quarter, almost a million more than its forecasts. That’s a lot of ears and eyeballs.

Speaking to TIO, Hydraulix (real name Damien Williams) admitted he’s “mega excited for this new avenue for my music to reach new people.”

He adds, “I often find music while I’m watching something so to have one of my own tracks in a Netflix original is very, very cool.”

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts was created by Radford Sechrist, adapted from his 2015 webcomic Kipo. It’s produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and animated by South Korea’s Studio Mir.

The series follows Kipo, a “sheltered yet scrappy girl” who makes her way through a world of mutant animals, with a rough and ready team as her sidekicks.

It’s currently flying high with an 8.5 out of 10 on the IMDB.

Hydraulix is coming off a busy 2019, during which time he performed at several major international festivals, from Lost Lands to Wobbleland, Das Energi and others, and played support for the likes of Skrillex, Four Tet and Rusko.

He’s not pumping the brakes anytime soon. This year, he’ll log some six months touring North America.

‘Nothing Can Stop Me’ is closing in on 500,000 plays on Spotify, and should cross that milestone soon as TV addicts binge on Wonderbeasts.

In time, Hydraulix is keen to see more of his tunes worked into other small-screen series. “I’m becoming a fan of the show and looking forward to seeing what they do next,” notes the rising producer. “Hopefully you’ll hear some more Hydraulix across Netflix in the future.”

Hydraulix is independently released and published. He’s managed and booked by Alex Tate at Fat Cat Music Group.
