SOCA Instrumental Forward

Post by guitargurumike » Wed Mar 19, 2025 11:22 am

Hi friends! Got another forward to share. Hope this helps some of you (like me) that are still learning. Side note: I had one day to complete this, so I tried a creative technique a friend suggested, and it seemed to work well. The technique is slightly complicated, but I would be happy to share if anyone is interested. Here's the listing and the tune:

Lots of MODERN SOCA INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Major European Media Company that's always nailing down great placements in TV Shows, Film, and other Media.

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing # D250205AD but the Company didn't find what they were looking for. If you submitted to listing # D250205AD please send different material this time around.

This Company is searching for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following examples:

"Brighter Days" by Lil' Bitts

"Salty" by Sweet Man

"Pan & Soca" by Olatunji

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

Please submit well-crafted Soca Instrumentals with loads of danceable energy and lots of authentic Caribbean flavor! Your submissions should have exciting Soca rhythms, feel-good motifs, infectious melodies, lively percussion, and forward-moving arrangements with plenty of dynamics, development, and interest throughout. Aim for tracks with a vibrant, festival-ready sound that captures the joyful spirit and high-energy vibe of Caribbean celebrations. Please make sure that your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding.

Your Instrumentals should be at least 2 minutes long and no longer than 4 minutes, give or take. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Thanks, and I can't wait to meet some of you at the Rally this year!

Very cool tune Mike! Congrats on the forward!
I'm curious about that technique you mention, is there a way you could expand more on that?
Thanks!
