"Get Down" by GRiZ ft. Sunsquabi & Manic Focus
Quoting the Client: "We are looking for ad-friendly Songs with danceable energy that are not too busy or lyrically dense/heavy. They should not have anything explicit. The tone and style need to be bright, positive, upbeat, catchy, driving, and rhythmically propulsive. Both electronic and rock influences could both work here."
Please submit Modern Songs with lots of energy and a sound and style that could work for advertising!

This Library is searching for Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:
"Dirty Sticky Floors" by Dave Gahan
Although the references have vocals, please submit Instrumentals only!
NOTE: We know the references here are a bit dated, but this Library is looking for current-sounding material! Use the references to get yourself in the general ballpark of the sound and vibe they are looking for, but make sure your submissions are up to date with current trends and production techniques.
Please submit original Instrumentals with a nice blend of electronic and Pop/Rock elements! Your submissions should have memorable motifs, engaging rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with plenty of development throughout. Aim for a sound that captures an atmospheric, slightly moody edge while maintaining an infectious groove. Instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the references will work best, such as synths, electronic drums, guitars, bass, etc. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding.
Scope Notes: We think this Library would be open to a range of emotional contexts here, so anything from the darker, more melancholy side to the more energetic/exciting side could potentially work. (We don't think they're looking for anything too "happy" or "cheery" though!) The important thing here is making sure you get a good blend of the electronic side with some of the Pop/Rock-type elements heard in the references!
All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long (give or take) with non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media.

Production and instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form.

IMPORTANT: This Library really wants to find top-notch Composers – not just people who combine different samples or loops without altering them at all. Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive), including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc. Distribution agreements are fine.

Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need concise piano rhythms paired with lively percussion grooves. Including stops and breaks is great, as it increases the options for editors to cut the music as needed. We're looking for compact and engaging tracks that offer a playful and rhythmic sound, with organic instrumentation."

Please submit Piano/Percussion Instrumentals with a lively, emotionally upbeat sound and lots of playful energy! These tracks need to have exciting rhythmic elements right off the bat, and they need engaging, "pep in your step" motifs that instantly provide lots of feel-good positivity. Submissions should have up-tempo rhythms and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should include Piano, as well as some additional organic-based percussive instrumentation. (think claps, snaps, upright bass, minimal drums, etc).

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipTons of TRANQUIL MEDITATION/ZEN INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful EXCLUSIVE Music Library. This company has a very long history of lots and lots of really AWESOME placements, tons of which have been for TAXI members!
This Company is looking for Instrumentals that could be heard on a playlist with the following references and others like them:
"Healing Flute" by Iftekharul Anam
"Samurai" by Japanese Zen Shakuhachi
"Flute Meditation" by Buddha's Lounge
QUOTING THE COMPANY: "We are looking for tranquil and Zen instrumentals suitable for meditation, spa, or massage settings. Tracks should feature bamboo flute and other Eastern-inspired instrumentation."
Please submit Meditation/Zen Instrumentals with a tranquil, relaxing sound that could be used for meditation, spas, or massage settings. This Company is looking for tracks that evoke a Zen-like state, so nothing distracting or attention-grabbing will work. Your submissions should feature soft, Asian flutes ( Shakuhachi, Dizi, etc) with meandering melodies and a relaxing, tension-relieving sound and style. Supplemental instrumentation could potentially include Koto, Guqin, or Pipa, etc., just be sure to keep the mood calm, meditative, and very serene. Soft synths and pads could work as well to help set the ambiance and create the relaxing atmosphere that's needed. Please be sure your productions and any virtual sounds or samples you use are high-quality and current-sounding.
All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs 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 any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
PRO TIP: We think it's more important to maintain a zen vibe throughout, while avoiding anything that could be jarring and distract listeners from their meditative state. They're not looking for the "composer of the year," so much as creating a peaceful, zen-like feeling. Keep it simple, and not too "fancy."
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of STRING INSTRUMENTALS with BEATS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This Library is worth pursuing! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need tracks with string themes and melodies, combined with grooves/beats from diverse genres. The strings need to sound real, and the beats need to be strong with lots of great production."
Please submit String Instrumentals with tasteful integrations of well-produced beats and solid grooves! Submissions should have Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, great production quality, solid compositions, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should consist of Orchestral Strings (violin, cello, viola, etc) paired with a wide range of rhythms and beats from various mainstream genres. Live instrumentation is recommended for the strings, but virtual instruments could potentially work here if they sound very realistic. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, 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.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send 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 (PST) on Sunday, December 22nd, 2024. TAXI # S241222DB

Broadcast Quality is needed.
IMPORTANT: This Library really wants to find top-notch Composers – not just people who combine different samples or loops without altering them at all. Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive), including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc. Distribution agreements are fine.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of STRING INSTRUMENTALS with BEATS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This Library is worth pursuing! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need tracks with string themes and melodies, combined with grooves/beats from diverse genres. The strings need to sound real, and the beats need to be strong with lots of great production."
Please submit String Instrumentals with tasteful integrations of well-produced beats and solid grooves! Submissions should have Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, great production quality, solid compositions, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should consist of Orchestral Strings (violin, cello, viola, etc) paired with a wide range of rhythms and beats from various mainstream genres. Live instrumentation is recommended for the strings, but virtual instruments could potentially work here if they sound very realistic. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, 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.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

This hard-working company is searching for Songs in the general wheelhouse of the following references, which they sent us:
"Superstar Sh*t" by Dominic Fike
"Stella Brown" by Jelani Aryeh
Please submit Alternative Hip-Hop/Bedroom Pop Songs with a sound and vibe that could be heard on a playlist with the references! This Company is looking for vibrant, youthful-sounding tracks that capture your attention and draw the listener in. Modern productions, catchy melodies, memorable motifs, engaging rhythms, solid arrangments, and well-crafted lyrics are all needed for this request. Instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference Songs will work best. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Vocals (Male or Female) should be well-performed and delivered with a laid-back yet confident style.
Per the Company, profanity is permitted here. If your track does have profanity, please make sure that you have a clean version on hand and ready to go as well.
Lyrics should ideally avoid references to specific names, dates, times, and brands to make them more "syncable." Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them 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.

NOTE: This Company has a limit of 3 cowriters per track. Please do not submit to this opportunity if the amount of cowriters on your Song exceeds 3.
IMPORTANT: Fully Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they don't sound anything like the originals. A good test is to Shazam one of your tracks and see if another artist's song comes up. If it does, this company can't sign it!
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

WARNING: The following references may have graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"My Way" by Lathan Warlick & Tyler Hubbard
Please submit original Songs with lots of Country-inspired sounds and powerful Hip-Hop beats! The Company is looking for tracks that bring energy, excitement, and a good amount of Country twang! Your submissions should include genre-bending motifs, modern productions, solid arrangements, memorable melodies, and well-written lyrics. Country and Hip-Hop instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference Songs will work best.

Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of STRING INSTRUMENTALS with BEATS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
This Library is worth pursuing! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need tracks with string themes and melodies, combined with grooves/beats from diverse genres. The strings need to sound real, and the beats need to be strong with lots of great production."
Please submit String Instrumentals with tasteful integrations of well-produced beats and solid grooves! Submissions should have Mid-to-Up-Tempo rhythms, great production quality, solid compositions, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Instrumentation should consist of Orchestral Strings (violin, cello, viola, etc) paired with a wide range of rhythms and beats from various mainstream genres. Live instrumentation is recommended for the strings, but virtual instruments could potentially work here if they sound very realistic. Any virtual instruments or samples you use should be high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission, please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, 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.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

It should be rooted in the Alternative Hip-Hop genre, featuring a minimalistic production style and a laid-back sense of rhythm. It needs to have a catchy, mid-to-low-range topline and witty rap flow, tailored for short-form content challenges.

This Producer is on the hunt for Mid-to-Up Tempo Songs in the general stylistic ballpark of the references and others like them:
"Tokyo Drift" by Teriyaki Boyz
QUOTING THE CLIENT: "We're looking for powerful, high-energy tracks that bring excitement, intensity, and a cinematic edge fit for action films. Tracks should include strong rhythms, bold instrumentation, and dynamic builds that can drive fast-paced sequences. Incorporating elements of Rock, Hip-Hop, or electronic sounds with cinematic qualities will stand out, but they should feel cohesive and polished for a blockbuster environment."
Please submit exciting Pop Songs with an intense, edge-of-your-seat sound and vibe that could help amp up the energy for action scenes! Bold production techniques, gripping hooks, powerful rhythms, dynamic builds, well-written lyrics, and attention-grabbing arrangements are all needed. Due to the wide-ranging nature of the request, instrumentation may vary depending on which direction you choose to go, as long as it's competitive with other Songs in your chosen style or sub-genre. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, modern, and very realistic if they are organic-based. Excellent vocal performances with lots of energy and excitement could help you seal the deal!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs more appealing. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them 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.
IMPORTANT: This Client is looking for artists, bands, or producers with experience in high-stakes, cinematic music. Please include any relevant socials or portfolio links in your bio to highlight your successes or experience with this style. That said, if you’re new to this genre but have an amazing sound and some killer songs, they still want to hear from you!
TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting 2-3 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
The specific deal points will be handled on a case-by-case basis. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this opportunity.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of DANCE SONGS for TV COMMERCIALS with Male or Female vocals are needed by an Industry-Leading Publishing Company for high-profile ADVERTISING Opportunities.
This Client is on the hunt for Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following examples, which we got directly from them:
"Candle Flame" by Jungle ft. Erick The Architect
"Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys
"Let The Speakers Blow" by Big Gigantic
"Get Down" by GRiZ ft. Sunsquabi & Manic Focus
Quoting the Client: "We are looking for ad-friendly Songs with danceable energy that are not too busy or lyrically dense/heavy. They should not have anything explicit. The tone and style need to be bright, positive, upbeat, catchy, driving, and rhythmically propulsive. Both electronic and rock influences could both work here."
Please submit Modern Songs with lots of energy and a sound and style that could work for advertising! Catchy hooks, danceable rhythms, great production, solid arrangements, and well-crafted, universal lyrics are all needed for this opportunity. Both Rock and Electronic influences could work here, but make sure that it maintains that exciting, driving groove that is engaging and infectious. Due to the wide-ranging nature of the request, instrumentation may vary depending on which direction you go, as long as it is consistent and competitive with other Songs in your chosen style or sub-genre. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Well-performed vocals (Male or Female) with expressive and dynamic deliveries are needed!
Scope Notes: Based on the references this Publisher sent us, we think the range of genre influences for this opportunity is pretty wide! Indie Rock, Retro Soul, and EDM-inspired tracks could all potentially work here, but make sure you nail the vibe and energy they are asking for! First and foremost, they need to be exciting, fun, catchy, and have a great danceable energy. Beyond that, there is some room for interpretation on your part... just keep it in the general ballpark of the references!
IMPORTANT: This Client CANNOT use anything with vulgar language or sexually explicit/graphic lyrical content.
Tracks with lyrics that stay on the lighter side will most likely be more appealing here. (A single hook for the drop/chorus could even potentially work!) They should also avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or Songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for tempo, texture, and tone. 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 is a catalog you want to be in! Please listen to the following references they sent us to get yourself in the general wheelhouse of what they need:
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We need bold and energetic stomp-clap rock tracks that have been fused with modern/hybrid elements. They need a modern touch, and should have a sound that is perfect for high-adrenaline sports placements, dynamic promos, and thrilling trailers. The modern, current touch is crucial - It's not just 'hard rock'."
Note: Given the references, we think vocal chops/fx could potentially work here. They are definitely not required though! Please DO NOT submit full vocal Songs for this opportunity.
Please submit Rock Instrumentals with a high-energy sound that could work well for Sports-related placements and promos! These tracks need to have a bold sound with lots of great production and a nice blend of modern elements to make them fresh, exciting, and current-sounding. Submissions should have adrenaline-pumping motifs, energetic rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Production and instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and modern.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE LIBRARY: "Many composers throw in way too many ideas and are not focused on ONE CENTRAL MOTIF - they try to keep things interesting by adding new harmonic lines and elements (melodies, even improvisations, etc.), instead of focusing on the productions and textures." Put simply, keep it SIMPLE! We know that other Libraries like to receive music with complementary A and B sections, but this Library is NOT one of them – stick with ONE CENTRAL MOTIF per submission please!
All submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take. Good edit points and non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, 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.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks or full instrumental tracks created with AI.
This Music Library offers an EXCLUSIVE deal with a cool twist. You’ll keep 50% of all gross income generated by your music, plus you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share income generated by your PRO. In other words, if the company licenses your music under a blanket deal, you’ll get income. If they license it for a YouTube video, you’ll get income. Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.
Because this is an Exclusive deal, the music you submit for this pitch cannot already be signed with other Libraries or Publishers. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Please send as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

We purposely avoided putting references in this request as we felt they could be more misleading or limiting, than helpful.
This company is very aggressive and incredibly successful in getting tons of Songs placed in Top-rated TV Shows and some really big Feature Films! Nobody in the Vintage Music space even comes close to the number of placements this awesome company has nailed for TAXI members! All reports from our members are that the company is extremely straight-ahead and ethical in its business practices. We concur!
If you’ve got top-notch, well-written Songs that were recorded BEFORE 2000, this company wants to hear what you’ve got! Seriously, these folks LOVE older recordings and get tons of placements with them!
And it's notable that they're looking for a wide range of styles and genres right now!
This Publisher is open to just about any popular genre you can think of – Folk, Country, Singer/Songwriter, Classic Rock, Soft Rock, Prog. Rock, Pop, Reggae, Disco, all types of Jazz, R&B, Big Band, Orchestral, Adult Contemporary, Americana, Punk, Soul, Hip-Hop, etc., etc., etc.! All (popular) genres are fair game for this pitch, as long as the material you submit was written and recorded prior to 2000! This company has even been known to sign old, 4-track recordings and bring them back to life. They love finding really good demos that sound like they should have been a hit back in the day, but never got signed or released!
As long as you own or control the Master Recordings and the Compositions you can submit for this Golden Opportunity to get PAID UPFRONT and get back-end income from any applicable Performance Royalties when the Songs are licensed! You CANNOT submit for friends because you need to own or control the Copyright and Masters! Have you inherited original, old recordings that a parent or grandparent created? Can you prove that you own and control their use? This Publisher is very interested in hearing those too!
NOTE: If you know somebody who might have material like this and they don’t belong to TAXI yet, please forward this to them! This company is hungry to find as many oldies as they can, so your friend may want to join TAXI to take advantage of this incredibly rare opportunity!
Many dozens of TAXI members have signed deals and received checks from this company. Some of those checks have been in the $10,000 (or bigger!) range, depending on the catalog size and quality of the material! Many of those deals have been made with TAXI members who never could have imagined that their old recordings would be worth anything in today’s market. Surprise!
They DO NOT want ANY material that was recently recorded and made to SOUND old. They will only take AUTHENTIC, OLD RECORDINGS that were actually recorded back in the day, and have Copyright dates that prove it! If you’ve got Demos or Masters in any genre, then you could very well have what they need! Worried that your old recordings and productions might sound “lo-fi,” dated, and/or not contemporary enough? They could actually be perfect for this company! They DO NOT want slick, Pro Tools-generated recordings!
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

This Company is searching for a range of Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs in the general wheelhouse of the following references:
"Three Minute Hero" by The Selecter
IMPORTANT: While this Company would love to find material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in the '80s or '90s, they are open to recordings from any era, as long as they capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the references. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to be virtually indistinguishable from authentic, vintage recordings!
Please submit original Ska Songs with an authentic, retro sound and style! Your submissions should have memorable motifs, solid arrangements, engaging rhythms, catchy melodies, and well-written lyrics. Instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best for this request, such as electric guitar, brass, drums, bass, etc. Your productions and any virtual instruments or samples you use need to be high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Expressive and dynamic vocal deliveries (Male or Female) are needed.
TAXI Tip: This Company is looking more for the "2 Tone" sound and style (check out the history and sound here) over the more traditional Jamaican Ska sound that became popular in the '50s and '60s. Your tracks probably need to showcase that more aggressive, higher-energy sound with energetic rhythms and punk vibes instead of the more laid-back, traditional Ska sound and style!
Lyrics should avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them 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. Era-appropriate Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.

Please submit well-crafted Songs that showcase the culturally rich sounds and styles of the Middle East! Authentic Middle-Eastern motifs, rhythms, and arrangements are all needed for this listing. Instrumentation should stay in the general ballpark of the reference tracks. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Well-performed vocals (Male or Female) with an authentic sound are needed.
This Library is open to traditional Middle Eastern Songs (with traditional instrumentation, such as Oud, Qanun, Ney, Darbuka, Riq, Saz, etc.), AS WELL AS modern Middle Eastern Songs with a more contemporary approach! Pay close attention to the arrangements, instrumentation, and production styles used in the references to help you figure out the range of what could work for them. Whichever approach you take, make sure your tracks have an authentic Middle-Eastern sound and style!
Lyrics need to be in a Middle-Eastern language (think Arabic, Persian, Turkish, etc) and should avoid references to specific names, places, dates, times, brands, and profanity. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings are strongly recommended. Do NOT copy the reference tracks in any way, shape, or form. Use them 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.
IMPORTANT: This Library really wants to find top-notch Artists and Composers – not just people who combine different samples or loops without altering them at all. Cleared sample libraries are okay to use, but any samples or loops you include in your pieces should be altered enough that they're distinguishable from the originals. Basically, if you Shazamed one of your tracks and another artist's song comes up, your music would definitely be disqualified by this Company.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive), including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc.
AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI.
