First Tropical Instrumental Forward

Post by MRasmussen » Thu May 23, 2019 1:39 pm

Hi everyone.

I was lucky enough to get a forward on a Tropical House Instrumental. It sounds like this.

See you all later. ;)

TROPICAL HOUSE INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed on MONDAY by a Music Library that are pitching to a popular TV Series on MTV. Please note that Tropical House does not mean the type of music you'd hear sitting at a thatch-roof beach bar in the Bahamas. Trop-House in today's market has some island influence; but at its core, it's built on electronic, DJ-style House tracks with the aforementioned Tropical "flavors" added as the salt and pepper.

This company is brand new to running Listings with TAXI, and they have tons of credits and placements! It’s very unlikely that you have any music in their catalog yet. This is a great opportunity to build a new relationship with this small, hard-plugging company that gets the job done!

"Yellow Lights" (Alex Grey Remix) by Natania

"Carry On" by Kygo and Rita Ora

“Middle” by DJ Snake ft. Bipolar Sunshine

Although the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only.

TAXI Tip: Please listen carefully to the references to get familiar with the Tropical House genre! Your submissions should be able to fit seamlessly in a playlist with these songs. Please submit well-produced Tropical House Instrumental Cues with solid rhythms, catchy melodies, and engaging chord progressions. Your submissions should have a contemporary Trop-House sound and structure, with great builds and contemporary-sounding synth patches. Build your Cues around a central melodic theme, while adding and subtracting layers of instruments as your pieces progress to create forward momentum, dynamic interest, and a developmental “arc.”

TAXI Tip: It's fine to use vocal samples, but use them as an instrument - they should not be lead vocals\, but rather musical elements in your arrangement.

Your submissions should be about 2 minutes in length, give or take. Non-Faded, Button/Stinger endings will work best for this pitch. Do NOT copy the referenced acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This Company offers both EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE deals. The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material for this pitch that’s already signed with any other libraries or publishers.

Any sync fees will be split 50/50 with the Company. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis by a TAXI Screener who has been handpicked by the Music Library – Short critiques only. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Monday, May 20th, 2019. TAXI #Y190520TH
