Dear Passengers,

If you submitted for this Emotional Trap Instrumental Cues request, TAXI #S200415ET, you really don't want to miss this episode of TAXI TV!

If you've ever wondered, "How good does an instrumental cue need to be to get forwarded by TAXI to a Leading Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Shows?" then you're going to love this episode!

Here's the request we got from the
Music Licensing Company!

TAXI #S200415ET

Lots of EMOTIONAL TRAP (EMO-TRAP) INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a new division of a Music Licensing Company that gets tons of placements in TV Shows and is now expanding!

NOTE: They’re currently building a few new catalogs, so this is a killer opportunity to start a relationship with an awesome company!

They're looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumental Cues in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

“Lucid Dreams (Instrumental)” by Juice WRLD

“SAD! (Instrumental)” by XXXTENTACION

“Betrayed (Instrumental)” by Lil Xan

Give them well-crafted Trap Instrumental Cues that effectively deliver a sad and/or melancholy mood and feel. Your submissions should be rhythmically engaging from start to finish and have contemporary Trap elements.

Stick to a central motif throughout, and give your Cues a developmental arc that gives the editors some options!

Hint: That will increase your chances of getting your Cues used more often!

TAXI Tip: Please be sure your virtual instruments and samples sound current (not dated), and are of high quality!

All submissions should be around 90 seconds to 2 minutes in length (give or take). Non-faded, Buttoned/Stinger endings will work best. Please do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of other artists’ music, sounds or any form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs.

Please submit as many Instrumental Cues as you'd like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI Screener who also works for the Licensing Company! Sweet - you'll get heard by one of the "deciders." Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, April 15th, 2020. TAXI # S200415ET
