Y120321DC - Need some advice! (Awesome electronica enclosed)

Post by zircon » Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:12 am

Hey guys, I'm looking to submit to the following listing:

OUTSTANDING "Go To" DANCE/ELECTRONICA COMPOSERS a la Fatboy Slim, Prodigy, Crystal Method, Moby, etc., are needed by a Top-Tier Los Angeles based Music Publisher for Film/TV placements as well as movie trailers. Be ORIGINAL, EVOCATIVE, create an intriguing VIBE and GROOVE with FRESH riffs, sounds, and samples. The tracks you submit will be their first impression of whether you could be a "GO TO" composer for their ongoing Film/TV needs. For that reason, please submit at least TWO tracks so they can see the full scope of possibilities with your material and your production style. If you don't have an extensive list of credits, it's okay... but be sure to attach your Bio and include anything that might show your capabilities to turn around material quickly and professionally. EXCELLENT performances are ESSENTIAL and broadcast quality is needed for this one. Please submit 2-3 instrumentals online or per CD, include bio with credit list/discography. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Wednesday, March 21, 2012. TAXI#Y120321DC

The artists mentioned there are pretty much a who's-who of my personal influences so I don't want to mess this one up and submit the wrong stuff. I have a couple of tracks for your perusal here and would like to get an opinion on which might be the strongest three to sub. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Contenders:
* Mindbender (more atmospheric, Crystal Method/Prodigy style)
* Nitronic (upbeat, dancey a la Moby/Fatboy Slim)
* Warhead (fun, bombastic, Fatboy Slim/Chemical Brothers)
* Psystep (world-influenced dance like Infected Mushroom)
* The End (more serious - heavy drum n' bass and atmospheres)
* System (Prodigy, TCM style breakbeat)
* Throwdown (funky Fatboy Slim style big beat)

I have even more stuff that I haven't uploaded but figured that would be a good place to start.

You've done some great work there, Andrew. I haven't had a chance to listen to all of pieces, but from what I heard, I especially liked Breathing You In. I guess if I were you, I'd just pick my 3 favorites and submit them.

Good luck!

Richard
