I got ONE forward out of a bunch
Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2024 4:03 pm
LISTING:
Lots of MODERN FUNK/SOUL INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a Successful Publisher with an awesome track record of really BIG placements!
This Publisher is on the lookout for Mid-Tempo Instrumentals that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"1612" by VULFPECK
"Adrienne and Adrianne" by the Fearless Flyers
"Smooth Move" by Cory Wong ft. Tom Misch
IMPORTANT: They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!
Although some of the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only.
Please submit Modern Funk/Soul Instrumentals with throwback motifs from the '60s and '70s, but with a contemporary sound! Your submissions should have soulful grooves, catchy melodies, funky bass lines, tight musicianship, danceable rhythms, emotionally upbeat energy, modern and high-quality production, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of forward movement and interest building throughout. Funk instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best (think organ, funky guitar, drums, bass, etc.).
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We are looking for well-crafted Instrumentals with high-production quality."
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request. Please do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use the references only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
This company offers an EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal with a 1-year reversion. Any sync licensing fees are split 50/50. You’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share. Since this company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed to any other Libraries or Catalogs. You must own or control your Masters and Copyright. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Wednesday, March 27th, 2024. TAXI Dispatch # D240327VL

Funny thing is that I submitted this exact same track to a different funk listing about 2 months ago, and it was returned..... I am happy for the forward, but am still scratching my head trying to figure out these briefs and screeners. I am not " BLAMING THE GATEKEEPERS" I just want to gain a better understanding of this is all.... In 4 months on TAXI, I am about 15 for 50 on Forwards so far, with ONE signing - and IMHO, I think that is a crappy success ratio on here.
