Thanks, Ron ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTALS are needed by an A-List Music Supervisor for NON-Exclusive use in an Animated Video Game with a bit of a throwback, old-school graphic look. He’s looking for fun, Up-Tempo Instrumentals, and is pretty open to various types of Electronic Music genres for this game, so please review the songs he’s referenced below to get a feel for the range of styles he’s interested in finding: “Eple” by Royksopp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf_ieWnu-SE “Tricky Two” by Royksopp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX1P6RxtA90 “Robot Rock – Soulwax Remix” by Daft Punk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szd_7ZGpkNc “Swing Bopp” by Der Drittle Raum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvmOPUTv8Yk “Bearcat Wiggle” by Dirty Honkers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOLIu4EnD60 “Not Exactly” by deadmau5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTcopp-mpmo Bangarang (feat. Sirah) by Skrillex Sirah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR2XilcGYOo “Beats Knockin (feat. Fly Boi Keno)” by Jack U, Skrillex, Diplo, Fly Boi Keno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO6EeBCWuzI “Easy Love” by MSTRKRFT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEfKBEWGQwg “Work On You” by MSTRKRFT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVAe5F0vto4 “Riot” by The Whip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whjw8Yzhhdg “Get A Move On!” by Mr. Scruff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS_CLIF1h-o Quoting the Music Supervisor: “This is a very entertaining and addictive game that’s using modern cutting-edge animation, graphics and game mechanics that visually harken back to the classic games from the 1980’s. This game features a collection of small, innovative, interactive animated mini-games in the style of Dragon’s Lair, Mario, Wreak-It Ralph, etc. We need Up-Tempo fun and upbeat Pop, Electro Swing, Electro Dance, Dub-Step, EDM, Retro, etc. Instrumentals should be exciting, FUN, upbeat, toe tapping, cool, energetic, and groove oriented. Music needs to be highly evocative, memorable, quirky, dynamic, imaginative and non-repetitive. If the track has a moose call, or a car honk, that's ok too. However, I’m NOT looking for “chiptune.” Instrumentals should have melodies and lead lines, and the occasional non-lyrical vocal chant is okay. Original Music Only – No Covers! TAXI’s members should have fun with this one! It only takes imagination.” There will be a Non-Exclusive license fee of $3,500, All-Inclusive per Track, for 5 Years. In other words, you’ll still own the copyright and master, and you can license the instrumental or track for media other than video games during the term mentioned above. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine.) Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists or music in any way shape or form. Use them as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. You must own or control the Master and Copyright. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI screener handpicked by the Video Game Company! No full critiques. Please submit 1-3 Instrumentals online or by CD, no later than 11:59pm (PDT), on Sunday, March 29th, 2015. TAXI #U150329EI

Re: disagree
I personally disagree as well, Ron. I'm not sure what else they could have been looking for.

I listened to your track, I can totally see somebody sitting playing a video game with that in the back ground.
Well produced, loved that sax solo too !
I also had a return, but mine was for being "too busy, too dynamic, too powerful".
So I guess they had a really specific kind of track in mind.
If you want you can listen to "Never Wanna Stop" on my taxi page. I can't remember why but it's there 3 times,
I was hoping to make some $$ on that one. Ah well. There's always going to be another video game needing music.
Cheers, diane
