What Happened to MixAlbum After Dragons’ Den?

MixAlbum appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 4. The business was a dance download site with digital mixing software. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden & Theo Paphitis on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Ian Chamings walked into the Den in 2006 with a dance download site with digital mixing software. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 40% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Deborah Meaden & Theo Paphitis offered £150,000 for 40%, and Ian Chamings accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

MixAlbum is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2006, the business has now been trading for over two decades — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is MixAlbum Still Available?

Yes. Higher House Productions Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
