    MP Records Signs Los Hitmen, Locking In One of the Most Powerful Producer Duos in Latin Urban Music

    The label has officially signed Los Hitmen, the legendary producer duo behind some of the biggest records in reggaetón and Latin music.

    MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MP Records just made a major power move; The label has officially signed Los Hitmen, the legendary producer duo behind some of the biggest records in reggaetón and Latin music. With a résumé that includes Wisin & Yandel, Don Omar, Jay Wheeler, Myke Towers, Arcángel, Nicky Jam and a long list of heavy hitters, Los Hitmen step into a new era backed by the vision and leadership of MP Records CEO Miguel Petit.

    Formed by Emanuel “Jazzy” Infante and Kristian “Lelo” Ginorio, Los Hitmen have spent nearly two decades shaping the sound of the streets and the charts. What started as a creative spark between two young producers evolved into a brotherhood that has defined eras, influenced generations, and delivered some of the most iconic tracks in the genre.

    Their chemistry is their superpower. Jazzy, with Ecuadorian roots, and Lelo, proudly Puerto Rican, merged their cultural influences and instincts to craft a signature sound—hard hitting drums, melodic finesse, and a raw urban identity that’s instantly recognizable. That formula has kept them relevant for twenty years and counting.

    A Catalog That Built the Genre
    Los Hitmen aren’t just part of the reggaetón story, they helped write it.
    Their credits include global smashes like:
    • “La Curiosidad” – Jay Wheeler & Myke Towers
    • “Sube la Music” – De La Ghetto & Nicky Jam
    • “Tussi” – Arcángel, De La Ghetto, Justin Quiles & Eladio Carrión
    • “Perder” – Dalex & Jay Wheeler
    • “Loco Por Verte” – Justin Quiles & Lenny Tavárez
    • “Selfie” – De La Ghetto
    • “Si Se Tiran” – Jowell & Randy ft. Don Omar
    • “EAZT” – Jay Wheeler

    And their legacy goes even deeper. Early in their career, they were already shaping the DNA of the genre with classics like:
    • “Perreame” – Wisin & Yandel ft. Jowell & Randy
    • “Un Booty Nuevo” – Jowell & Randy ft. Yaviah
    • “Su Mamá No Sabe Na” – Plan B ft. Jowell & Randy
    • “Hasta Que Salga el Sol” – Jowell & Randy ft. Tito El Bambino
    • “Un Poquito Na’ Más” – Jowell & Randy ft. Tego Calderón

    In their latest run, they’ve kept the momentum alive with tracks like “Si Si Si Si,” “Incorregible,” and “Black Jackie Chan,” proving they’re not just legends—they’re still innovators.

    Their work has earned them BMI Awards, ASCAP Awards, multiple Gold and Platinum plaques, and a Double Diamond RIAA certification for “La Curiosidad,” one of the most successful Latin songs of the decade.

    A Strategic Move by MP Records for the new era: LOS HITMEN — Season 1
    For Miguel Petit, signing Los Hitmen is more than a business decision, it’s a statement. Petit sees in them not only a flawless track record, but the rare ability to innovate, develop talent, lead creative direction, and build hits that outlive trends. Their arrival at MP Records signals the start of a strategic alliance designed to elevate their global footprint and expand their reach into new markets.
    This new chapter aligns with a milestone moment for the duo: the release of their first official producer album, LOS HITMEN: Season 1. The project encapsulates twenty years of experience, evolution, and artistic maturity, cementing their status as world class hitmakers and architects of the Latin urban sound.

    With MP Records behind them, Los Hitmen are stepping into a phase of bigger visibility, broader reach, and an even deeper impact on global music culture.

  • The uncomfortable truth about private equity and founder led businesses

    The uncomfortable truth about private equity and founder led businesses

    A growing number of PE funds can’t raise another fund and can’t get out of the deals they’ve already made.

    LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Forbes has published a piece calling out “zombie” private equity firms. The simple version is this: a growing number of funds can’t raise another fund and can’t get out of the deals they’ve already made. So they sit on portfolios for longer, investors get impatient, and everyone becomes more cautious.

    That matters because when exits slow down, deal terms get tougher. Buyers still buy, but they stop taking leaps of faith. They want proof, and they want clean numbers. And when they do not get it, they protect themselves with price and structure.

    “People keep saying the market is quiet,” said Luke Tobin, Founder of Succeed, a UK based M&A advisory firm. “It’s not quiet. It’s picky. And if your business only works because you’re the one holding it together, a buyer will see that straight away, and they’ll pay you less for it.”

    In the wider market, the backlog is real. Reports have put the number of unsold private equity-backed companies at around 30,000, with capital remaining in those businesses longer than planned. That’s one of the reasons investors have been pushing harder for cash back, and why fundraising has become more selective.

    What agency founders should expect to see more of in 2026;
    Succeed expects three things to show up more often in agency deals this year:
    Harder questions on recurring revenue. What’s contracted, what’s sticky, and who actually owns key relationships.

    Less tolerance for messy margin stories. If your numbers are hard to follow, buyers assume there’s a reason.

    More strings attached when trust is low. More earn-outs, more conditions, and longer diligence.

    “The playbook is pretty boring,” Luke added. “Make it easy to trust the numbers. Make it obvious that the team can sell and deliver without you. Then you get better offers, and the deal is cleaner.”

  • Good Hands Home Care Selects Express Wages to Bring Flexible Pay Access to Its Workforce

    Good Hands Home Care Selects Express Wages to Bring Flexible Pay Access to Its Workforce

    Memphis-area home care provider integrates on-demand pay to support its employees and help ease financial pressure between payroll cycles.

    Caregiving is deeply meaningful and important work, and strengthening financial stability plays a big role in helping care professionals stay focused on the people and families they serve.”
    — Alfred Milan

    MEMPHIS, TN, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Express Wages, a financial technology company focused on earned wage access solutions, today announced a new partnership with Good Hands Home Care in Memphis, Tenn. Through the company’s employer-integrated platform, caregivers and administrative staff can now access a portion of their earned income before their scheduled payday. The collaboration reflects Express Wages’ mission to ease the financial stress of workers living paycheck-to-paycheck by giving them faster, more flexible access to the wages they’ve already earned.

    Good Hands Home Care provides non-medical, in-home support services designed to help seniors and individuals with disabilities remain safe and independent in their own homes. Co-owned by Kenya and Darnell Reid, the company has built its reputation on dependable service, compassionate caregiving and a strong commitment to the families it serves throughout the Memphis-area community. The partnership with Express Wages extends that commitment inward, introducing a valuable employee benefit designed to help team members better manage cash flow and cover unexpected expenses.

    With growing need for in-home care, employers are placing greater emphasis on offering financial flexibility to attract and retain the qualified workers their clients rely on. By offering earned wage access, Good Hands Home Care is introducing an added layer of support that recognizes the financial realities many frontline workers face — from fluctuating household expenses to emergency costs that can arise between pay cycles.

    “We’re proud to partner with Good Hands Home Care,” says Express Wages Founder and CEO Alfred Milan. “Caregiving is deeply meaningful and important work, and strengthening financial stability plays a big role in helping care professionals stay focused on the people and families they serve.”

    For Kenya and Darnell Reid, supporting their team by providing early wage access is a natural extension of their caregiving mission. Since launching Good Hands Home Care, the Reids have prioritized building a workplace culture rooted in respect, reliability and opportunities for growth. Adding earned wage access helps strengthen that foundation, empowering home care workers not only professionally, but personally.

    With a focus on workforce financial wellness, Express Wages provides employer-integrated solutions within the growing earned wage access market. Its platform offers employer-integrated on-demand pay solutions, providing financial relief to frontline workers. Prior to launching Express Wages, Milan built a 20-year track record of success in senior care and health care technology — scaling operations, capturing new markets and leading high-performing teams.

    According to Bankrate’s 2025 Annual Emergency Savings Report, more than one-third of Americans had to tap their emergency savings in the last year, and nearly one in five had no emergency savings whatsoever. Express Wages’ plug-and-play solution empowers companies to provide their employees with immediate access to a portion of their earned wages before payday, helping them avoid high-interest predatory loans, credit card debt, overdraft fees and late payment penalties.

    Based in Delaware and headquartered in Memphis, Express Wages differentiates its offering by delivering a full ecosystem of employee financial wellness tools. In addition to earned wage access, the company’s strategic partnerships offer:

    • Insurance through Allstate, including affordable identity theft protection for employees and their families for just $6/month per family.

    • 50% savings on the Monarch Money personal finance app.

    • Mortgage literacy resources through Edge Home Finance.

    • Tools designed to help employees strengthen and build their credit through Kovo.

    • Transparent pricing and no hidden fees for employers or employees.

    Milan adds: “At Express Wages, we focus on building tools that benefit real working lives. Earned wage access is about offering greater choice and control — giving people more ways to respond when unexpected expenses hit.”

    Express Wages recently closed a $1.2 million friends and family funding round to accelerate its expansion across multiple industries, including food service, hospitality and health care. With growing awareness of the financial pressures facing hourly and frontline workers, earned wage access is rapidly gaining momentum. According to Business Research Insights, “The global earned wage access software market is set to rise from approximately USD 2.07 Billion in 2026, on track to hit USD 6.67 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 14% between 2026 and 2035.”

    About Express Wages
    Express Wages is transforming how employers support hourly teams — delivering on-demand pay and long-overdue financial relief to frontline workers nationwide. Offered at no cost to employers, the innovative platform allows employees to access a portion of their earned pay on demand, empowering them to meet urgent financial needs without relying on credit or debt. Express Wages partners with industry leaders to deliver holistic financial wellness tools, including insurance, mortgage education and credit-building resources.

  • Petram Named Top 50 Construction Tech Startups Worldwide

    Petram Named Top 50 Construction Tech Startups Worldwide

    World’s Former Tallest Roller Coaster Kingda Ka Meets Mjolnir: Thor’s Hammer Wins

    It is very rare to have a technology that reduces cost by 60 percent, dust, noise and vibration by 99%, is 20 x faster, and has 5% of the carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.”
    — Franco Magnotti, CEO of Petram

    JERSEY CITY, NJ, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Petram announced today that it has been selected the #Top50ContechStartups2026! This recognition came from Cemex Ventures in their annual search for top construction tech companies worldwide. Cemex Ventures gave recognition to companies that are shaping the future of construction with a shift from just innovating to executing, scaling, and delivering real impact across the built environment.
    Petram’s roots stem from NASA funding to demonstrate the most energy efficient way to break rock on the moon. Eleven patents later, Petram’s Mjolnir (Thor’s Hammer) has moved from innovation to executing and producing in the built environment. Cemex placed Petram in the Productivity category. Productivity was demonstrated in the following two projects: 1) In a gas pipeline excavation in limestone, traditional methods of rock trenching and rock hammering yielded 1 and 0.3 feet per hour, respectively, and broke hundreds of teeth and the hammer in 11 hours. Petram was brought in and including training a crew who never operated the system yielded 12 feet per hour, and 2) columns that held up the world’s tallest and second fastest roller coaster, Kingda Ka (see upper photo), were heavily reinforced with rebar and a center wood pole making recycling extremely difficult. Petram’s palletized Mjolnir system fits in the back of an F150(see middle photo) making it easily transportable to site and has the ability to be remotely controlled. Although the columns were heavily reinforced. the plasma shock waves generated with just electricity, an ounce of water, and no moving parts cracks the concrete while “bending” around the rebar and the wood pole leaving it exposed and unharmed (see lower photo and note how the rebar is exposed for easy recycling and how the wood although a much softer material is unharmed). In the battle between the world’s tallest roller coaster and the “most energy efficient breaking technology on earth”, the clear winner was Thor’s hammer (see video for real-time and slow-motion closeups and note there are no chemicals or moving parts).
    Future plans include integration with electric construction vehicles as the charging system, achievable because Mjolnir uses five percent of the energy of traditional rock-breaking systems. Future markets include mining, rare earth elements, agricultural irrigation, and geothermal through its clean fracking properties of dramatically increasing permeability around well casings.

  • Atina & Bacanos drop ‘Eres Mi Vida,’ a Cross Border Collab with global appeal

    Atina & Bacanos drop ‘Eres Mi Vida,’ a Cross Border Collab with global appeal

    Atina and Bacanos team up for “Eres Mi Vida,” a high energy release that’s already shaping up to be one of the standout drops of the year.

    A few months ago, I met their team and we talked about my career. I was so excited because I grew up listening to them, their music has been part of my life,”
    — Atina.

    MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Peruvian singer songwriter Atina joins forces with the renowned Venezuelan group Bacanos to deliver a vibrant, emotional track that feels tailor made for the season. “Eres Mi Vida” is now available on all digital platforms, accompanied by an official music video streaming on YouTube.

    Atina, one of the most exciting rising voices in Latin pop urbano, has built a signature sound rooted in honest lyrics, emotional depth, and a modern fusion of pop, urban rhythms, and a forward thinking aesthetic. She began writing songs at just 14, using music as a space to turn personal experiences into stories that heal and connect. Her versatility has led her to collaborate with top tier producers like Andy Clay, Bernardo Ossa, Paulo Morales, Harlon Hincapié “The Boom Maker,” and Sergio López. Her debut album Curita pa’l Corazón landed her on Billboard’s radar, while tracks like “Boca” and “Qué Tengo Que Hacer” earned rotation on major urban radio stations.

    The collaboration with Bacanos came together naturally. “A few months ago, I met their team and we talked about my career. Later they reached out saying there was a chance to work together. I was so excited because I grew up listening to them, their music has been part of my life,” Atina shares. The chemistry was instant. “From day one, everything clicked, musically and personally. We vibed right away. During that same conversation, Taco asked if I wrote music. I said yes, and he suggested we create something together.”

    Inspiration hit fast. “That same night, out of pure excitement, I wrote the first demo of ‘Eres Mi Vida.’ I sent it over and they loved it. Then we got together with producer Luis Farías to finish the track, and everything flowed naturally from there,” Atina recalls.

    “Eres Mi Vida” is a heartfelt declaration about that kind of love that disarms you with a single look and makes you imagine an entire future with someone. It speaks to finding the person who becomes your safe place, your destiny, your certainty. The track blends Bacanos’ signature energy with Atina’s emotional, expressive delivery, striking the perfect balance between freshness, romance, and rhythm.

    For Atina, 2026 marks a major turning point. After being highlighted by Billboard as one of the Latin acts to watch, this year represents a phase of global expansion, strategic collaborations, and artistic evolution. Her union with Bacanos not only bridges two musical cultures, it opens the door to a new chapter filled with international projection.

  • NCS Launches Managed Device Lifecycle Services, Advancing Beyond Traditional PC-as-a-Service

    NCS Launches Managed Device Lifecycle Services, Advancing Beyond Traditional PC-as-a-Service

    NCS launches Managed Device Lifecycle Services (MDLS), a subscription solution to securely deploy, manage, refresh & retire devices end-to-end for SMBs.

    MDLS is not a point solution. It’s a lifecycle operating model that aligns technology, security, and service delivery — and it reflects how our customers actually operate.”
    — said Peter Thomson, Managing Director.

    MANASSAS, VA, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The subscription-based model delivers predictable operating costs and end-to-end lifecycle accountability for AI-ready business devices.

    NCS Technologies, Inc., a trusted provider of enterprise technology solutions, today announced the launch of Managed Device Lifecycle Services (MDLS), a comprehensive, subscription-based offering designed to help organizations securely deploy, manage, refresh, and retire end-user devices across their entire lifecycle.

    MDLS represents the next evolution beyond traditional PC-as-a-Service models, shifting the focus from financing and device procurement to full lifecycle ownership, security, and operational accountability. The service is purpose-built for SMBs, that need to securely manage and support distributed or mission-critical device fleets across their workforce.

    “Device challenges don’t stop at procurement — they extend across the entire lifecycle,” said An Nguyen, President of NCS. “Over the last 30 years, we have built a unique capability to manage that lifecycle end to end, helping organizations operate more securely, predictably, and efficiently.”

    Moving Above & Beyond PC-as-a-Service

    While many PC-as-a-Service offerings emphasize hardware refresh and financing, MDLS delivers a broader and more secure approach, encompassing:
    • Secure device provisioning and deployment
    • Ongoing lifecycle management and support
    • Policy-driven security and compliance controls
    • Predictable refresh and asset recovery
    • Certified data sanitization and end-of-life services

    By managing the entire device lifecycle under a single operational framework, MDLS helps organizations reduce risk, improve visibility, and lower total cost of ownership.

    Purpose-Built for Small and Mid-Sized Organizations

    NCS’s MDLS solution, Npoint, enables small and mid-sized organizations to access enterprise-grade device lifecycle management without enterprise-scale IT resources.

    Creative Biolabs Expands circRNA and Nucleic Acid Analysis Platforms as Demand Surges in Gene Therapy Research

    Creative Biolabs is accelerating gene therapy research globally with specialized expertise.

    SHIRLEY, NY, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As circRNA rapidly emerges as one of the most promising modalities in modern gene therapy, researchers are seeking partners capable of delivering high‑purity constructs, scalable manufacturing, and rigorous analytical validation. Creative Biolabs’ upgraded platforms directly address these needs, offering end‑to‑end support from early discovery to preclinical development.

    Rising Demand for Circular RNA in Therapeutics
    Circular RNAs have gained substantial attention due to their exceptional stability, long half‑life, and reduced immunogenicity compared with linear mRNA. These properties make circRNAs highly attractive for long‑term protein expression, vaccine development, and next‑generation RNA therapeutics. Creative Biolabs’ circRNA service platform provides rational design, high‑yield in vitro transcription, post‑transcriptional circularization, and ultra‑high‑purity QC pipelines, enabling researchers to move efficiently from concept to functional therapeutic candidates.

    “Our circRNA platform was built to eliminate bottlenecks that slow therapeutic development,” said a senior scientist at Creative Biolabs. “From optimized IRES selection to scalable GMP‑compliant production, we ensure every construct is engineered for performance, purity, and regulatory readiness.”

    For many researchers, the appeal lies in the combination of technical depth and practical responsiveness. One customer from a European biotech described the experience as “exceptionally collaborative,” adding: “Their circRNA constructs performed consistently across our in vitro and in vivo models. It saved us weeks of troubleshooting.”

    Comprehensive circRNA Product Portfolio
    In addition to custom services, Creative Biolabs offers a broad catalog of circRNA products designed for biomarker research, therapeutic target validation, vaccine development, and drug delivery studies. These products feature flexible synthesis scales, customizable base modifications, and multiple ligation strategies—including enzymatic, chemical, and ribozyme‑based circularization—to meet diverse research needs.

    CircRNA products can be tailored for tissue‑specific expression, enhanced stability, or reduced immunogenicity, supporting research across oncology, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders.

    Integrated Nucleic Acid Analysis Ensures Quality and Safety
    To complement its circRNA platforms, Creative Biolabs provides a full suite of nucleic acid analysis services, ensuring identity, concentration, purity, potency, and safety of nucleic acid materials. These analytical capabilities—spanning LC‑MS/MS, NGS, UV absorbance, qPCR, HPLC, endotoxin testing, and immunogenicity assessment—form a critical foundation for high‑quality gene therapy development.

    “Reliable analytical data is essential for every stage of nucleic acid‑based therapeutics,” said the company’s analytical lead. “Our integrated testing framework helps clients de‑risk development and meet stringent regulatory expectations.”
