WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.
"Two for His Heels" by Richard Hawley
Please submit well-crafted Alt-Rock/AAA (aka "Adult Alternative") Songs that might feel at home playing on NPR Radio. Your submissions should have engaging rhythms, memorable melodies, excellent musicianship, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics. Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best, such as guitars, bass, drums, percussion, etc. If you choose to use any virtual instruments or samples, please ensure they are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Great vocal performances with a unique (but still mainstream) approach will work best!
Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs more appealing to this Music Publisher. 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.
NOTE: This Company is NOT looking for “typical library music” – they’re looking for music that's from real, working artists or bands that they can pitch to sync opportunities, and they’re going to want to know more about you in the form of a bio! In your bio, please include any touring, fan base, sales, streaming, and social media figures you may have. If you’re an authentic Artist or Band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record, but you DO have an amazing sound and some killer Songs to back it up, they still want to hear you!
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. If you’re inclined to do an Exclusive deal, please don’t submit material that’s already signed with any other libraries or publishers, and that includes "monetization deals" you might have signed with online distributors – read the fine print. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit to this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics, photos, and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by a TAXI A&R Screener who works closely with the Company. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Friday, September 20th, 2024.

Please submit Hyperpop Songs with a hyped-up, excessive sound that captures the Gen-Z vibe!

Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references should work best. Well-performed vocals with genre-appropriate processing are needed!

Although one of the references has vocals, please submit Instrumentals only.
Please submit original, well-crafted Instrumentals that feature rowdy, borderline chaotic fiddle performances! This Company is looking for tracks with a frenzied approach that could help amplify chaotic or frantic scenes in film or TV.

All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Please do not copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of SUBTLE TENSION INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and Commercials!
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 subtle and pulsing tension instrumentals. We're not looking for thriller, action, or anything bold like that. They need to be subtle and work well for things like investigation, documentaries, human drama, news, political intrigue, etc. Hybrid or even fully organic instrumentation could both potentially work."
Please submit a wide range of Instrumentals with a subtle yet tense sound that could work for a variety of sync opportunities. Your submissions should have uneasy motifs, pulsing rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with one central motif per piece. Organic or Electronic instrumentation that's in the general wheelhouse of the reference tracks will work best for this opportunity, such as synth pads, pulsing synth bass, cinematic piano, strings, mallets, etc. Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality, modern, and very realistic if they are organic-based.
TAXI TIP: If you struggle with keeping your track as simple as it should be, sometimes it’s helpful to hear it along with some dialogue! If it feels like it is creating a mood, then you could be on the right track. If it's drawing attention to itself, you might need to minimize it. (Do NOT include any actual dialogue in your submission. We're only suggesting that as a way to test its viability).
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 endings are required. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form.

Not all music libraries pay you for things like that! The Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher’s share.

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:
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE REFERENCES: The FIRST THREE references showcase the emotional context, dynamics, and type of arrangements they are looking for. The others (labeled with a MIX REF prefix) showcase the production value, quality of mix, and quality of sound selection they are looking for!
Quoting the CEO of the Company: "We are looking for slow-evolving trailer tracks with a 'serious' tone. Having clear and concise motifs, great production value, good usage of breaks/edit points, and arrangements that build are all key ingredients. If you analyze the structure of these references, you'll notice the various sections of intensity, while it it stays consistent compositionally. The various sections allow editors to tell a story."
Please submit well-composed Trailer-Style Instrumentals with a dramatic, serious tone and lots of cutting-edge sounds and production techniques! Your submissions should have great production value, captivating motifs, cinematic rhythms, and slow-building arrangements with one central motif per piece. Modern Orchestral instrumentation and sound design 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 not dated-sounding.
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 2-4 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.

Title Theme from "The Deadly Mantis" by Irving Gertz
IMPORTANT: This Company is looking for tracks that recreate the authentic, vintage sound heard in the references and others like them! Your tracks SHOULD NOT actually be from the 1950s, but they should sound like they are!
QUOTING THE CEO: "We're looking for orchestral movie underscore-style writing for monster movies of the 1950s and early 1960s, such as Creature from the Black Lagoon, Tarantula, and The Blob. The use of a Theremin is optional. They need to stick to a singular emotional tone for the duration of the track while focusing on a simple story element. (Monster attack, scientific discovery, escaping danger, etc.) The goal is to emulate the size and types of orchestras used for those productions, ie, smaller ensembles, close mic placements, etc., and with stylistically appropriate orchestrations. In addition to the usual alt mixes and cutdowns, a mono mix (of the main mix only) will be required."
Please submit original, well-crafted orchestral instrumentals that capture the authentic, vintage sound and style characteristic of 1950's Sci-Fi movie scores! Your submissions should have other-worldly melodies, solid arrangements, excellent musicianship, and one central motif that focuses on a single emotion. Orchestral instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are very high quality, genre-appropriate, and sound very realistic.
TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you are on the right path with new renditions of vintage-style music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail the authenticity, the better chance you'll have of getting this company's attention!
Your submissions should be between 1.5 and 2.5 minutes long, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

Singer/Songwriter instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and not dated-sounding. Expressive and well-performed Female vocals with an authentic Indie sound will go a long way!
TAXI Tip: Stripped-down demos and full productions are both okay to submit. Although this Company is open to hearing really great Songs with a more stripped-down approach, that may limit potential opportunities for Sync. Having great Songs with a fully produced and broadcast-quality sound will help your chances of getting noticed for both Artist Songs AND Sync opportunities!
IMPORTANT: If you are submitting a fully-produced Song, please have a stripped-down version available as well. If the Company reaches out, they may ask for it, depending on the opportunity.
Your recording quality needs to be clean, clear, and well-balanced so that it represents your Songs well. Do NOT copy the referenced examples in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide to get you in the stylistic ballpark, of the overall texture and tone.
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.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of PUBLIC DOMAIN CHRISTMAS INSTRUMENTAL COVERS that were RECORDED BETWEEN 1960 and 1980 are needed by an A-List Music Publisher for Film and TV sync licensing.
NOTE: This Company pays an upfront fee to creators! See below.
We purposely avoided putting references in this request because we felt they could be more misleading or limiting, than helpful.
Broadcast Quality should be era-appropriate. You can submit old masters — or even well-recorded/produced demos from that time period for this request.
Please submit vintage Instrumental covers of well-known Christmas Songs in a wide range of styles and genres! Any commercially viable genre is fair game here, such as jazz, blues, orchestral, rock, etc. Your Covers need to be in the Public Domain and your version needs to have been recorded between 1960 and 1980, give or take a couple of years. Submissions should have familiar melodies, engaging rhythms, catchy motifs, and lots of holiday spirit. Due to the wide-ranging nature of this request, instrumentation may vary.
Please double-check to make sure the music you submit is truly in the Public Domain! Check out this website for more info.
The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights. This Company has been consistently landing TONS of placements for about two decades, and many of those syncs have been for TAXI members who’ve signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! Dozens upon dozens of TAXI members have signed buyout deals with this company. Several have even received upfront checks for $10,000 to $15,000 (or more!). Deal sizes and buyout amounts vary depending on the quantity and quality of the tracks signed.
Make sure your Covers were actually recorded between 1960 and 1980 (give or take a couple years), otherwise this company cannot use them! They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only if the sound quality is reasonably good. This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!
You need to own or control the Master recordings to submit for this pitch. Please submit as many Covers 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 Monday, September 30th, 2024. TAXI # S240930DM

IMPORTANT: While this company would love to find material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in the 1950s (give or take a few years), they are also open to CURRENT RECORDINGS that capture the sound, feel, and vibe of this era.

Your submissions should have throwback motifs, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, era-appropriate production, and lots of excellent musicianship.

TAXI Tip: A good way to ensure you are on the right path with new renditions of vintage-style music is to heavily rely on reference tracks while in the production process! The devil is in the details, and the more you nail the authenticity, the better chance you'll have of getting this company's attention!
All submissions should be around 2 to 4 minutes in length, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form.
