Bruno Mars / Daft Punk type forward for Mom's Basement

Post by ericmakesmusic » Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:11 am

I've been a little absent but I've been working really hard. My collaboration with Austrian TAXI member Axel Bauer has been going fantastically well. We're continually adjusting our sound based on the feedback in TAXI returns and I think our Forward rate is showing a nice increase.

We've formalized our collaboration under the group name Mom's Basement so look out for that. We just created a soundcloud page with a few of our tunes.

http://soundcloud.com/momsbasementmusic

One of our songs has gotten a few forwards. There have been a lot of listings for Retro Soul Pop tunes a la Bruno Mars / Pharell / Daft Punk. We are not getting forwarded on all of them but we made it on the two listed below.

The song is called I'm Single Tonight and its on my TAXI page.


CONTEMPORARY, MID-to-UP TEMPO DANCE SONGS with MALE VOCALS in the wheelhouse of "Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself To Dance" by Daft Punk ft. Pharell, etc., are needed by the Creative Director at a highly successful Music Publishing Company with tons of Film/TV placements. They're looking for super cool, hip songs with a nod to the disco era. Be sure to include some contemporary electronic elements like the referenced artists, because they're NOT looking for straight-up retro Disco songs. Give them killer hooks! Keep your lyrics PG-Rated, and avoid specific names, places, brands, story lines, etc. This company offers an exclusive deal, so please be sure any songs you submit are NOT already signed with another library or catalog. Broadcast quality is needed (great home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Friday, July 12, 2013. TAXI #S130712DA

Owner of a remarkable Music Library (with a truly impressive list of placements) running their FIRST listing with TAXI, is looking for CONTEMPORARY POP SONGS that you'd hear on the same playlist as Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Jessie J, etc. Quoting the Owner: "Pop songs are always in high demand, and great Pop songs aren't always easy to come by." He needs songs that have contemporary radio appeal, with memorable hooks and melodies. Vocal performances must be well performed, pitch perfect, and resemble the level of singing the referenced artists share. Your production must sound slick and contemporary. All tempos are welcome. Male and female vocals are both okay. This company offers an exclusive deal, so please be sure the songs you submit are not signed to another library or catalog. You must own or control 100% of the Master and Composition rights. Broadcast Quality needed (excellent home recordings are fine). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Wednesday, August 14, 2013. TAXI #S130814PO
