Canadian tech investment firm Tiny has acquired a majority stake in the DJ tech company, Serato. Tiny now owns 66% of the long-running New Zealand software business, paying $66m.

We've launched a first-of-its-kind competition with house music legend Robert Owens – make a track using Robert's AI voice model, submit it to @LabelRadar by @beatport and Robert will pick a winner and re-sing his AI voice for real! The track will then be released on his label 👇 https://t.co/2LVWv8J2G1
