TRADITIONAL-SOUNDING COUNTRY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a Hit Record Producer from Music Row that’s always pitching to big artists’ projects.

This Producer is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Country's Cool Again" by Lainey Wilson

"Fill 'Er Up" by Jon Pardi 

"Burn Out" by Midland

NOTE: This Producer is looking for Country Songs that lean toward TRADITIONAL Country arrangements while still maintaining a modern and current sound. Please avoid Hip-Hop/Pop-inspired sounds, productions, and styles for this request.

Please submit original, traditional-sounding Country Songs with lots of potential to be a chart-topping hit! Your submissions should have catchy choruses and melodies, engaging rhythms, and honest, well-crafted lyrics. Country instrumentation that's in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the references will work best here. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, realistic, and appropriate-sounding for the genre. Compelling and well-performed vocals with lots of Country charm are the way to go!

TAXI TIP: This Producer will listen to either stripped-down or fully-produced demos! That said, the song itself has to sound super strong - like a hit in the making - especially if you’re submitting a stripped-down demo!

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.

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 for texture and tone.

The specific deal points will be negotiated on a Song-by-Song basis. Please submit as many Songs as you like, online or per CD, and please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Thursday, October 31st, 2024. TAXI # S241031TV

UPLIFTING COUNTRY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $2,000, Direct-to-Film Producer placement in an upcoming Independent Feature Film that's currently in post-production!

Note: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits.

"It's A Great Day To Be Alive" by Travis Tritt

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "Songs should match the reference material in tone, tempo, and instrumentation. Vocals can be either male or female. The themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar lyrical themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."

Please submit well-crafted Country Songs with a traditional sound, uplifting motifs, and optimistic lyrics! Meaningful choruses, solid arrangements, engaging rhythms, and expressive, well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Country instrumentation in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality, very realistic, and genre-appropriate. Vocal performances with an authentic Country sound are needed!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity is ok here. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

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 license fee for this placement is (up to) $2,000, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Direct-to-Film Producer placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

MINIMALIST, BASS-DRIVEN FUNK SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $500 placement by a Film Producer for an upcoming Independent Feature Film that’s currently in post-production!

This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Cavern" by Liquid Liquid, which is currently temped in:

"Cavern" by Liquid Liquid

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

Please submit well-crafted Funk Songs with a minimalist approach and an unorthodox, experimental sound! Sparse vocal lines, groovin' rhythms, unconventional arrangements, funky motifs, and a driving energy are all needed here. Tracks should revolve around tight, funk-inspired basslines, dynamic percussion, and groove-heavy elements that keep the momentum alive and forward-moving. Keep the instrumentation organic and percussive—bass, drums, and percussion should be front and center. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and realistic-sounding. Minimalist, rhythmic vocals (Male or Female) with an experimental edge will likely be what this Producer is looking for!

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form.

This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover, which is currently temped in:

"I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

Please submit well-crafted Dance/Electro-Pop Songs with a retro-inspired sound (think '80s), melancholy melodies, and infectious grooves. Engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, 80s-inspired motifs, and well-written lyrics are all needed here. Instrumentation should stay in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference, such as synths, bass, drum machine, guitar, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Having some great atmospheric synth layers that evoke a sense of nostalgia, complemented by driving rhythms and a bitter-sweet melodic hook could all help you get close to what this Producer is looking for! Rhythmic and well-performed vocal deliveries (Male or Female) will help as well.

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics, as well as disturbing images. Listener and viewer discretion is advised.

"Omen" by The Prodigy

"Wish" by Nine Inch Nails

"Come To Daddy" by Aphex Twin

"March of the Pigs" by Nine Inch Nails

Please submit Electronic/Industrial Rock Songs, with a dark, deranged, and borderline-chaotic sound that could be found on a playlist with the references! Your submissions should have disturbing melodies, intense rhythms, great production, and intense vocal deliveries. This Supervisor is looking for tracks that ramp up the tension and unleash chaos, with a gritty, anything-goes type sound and lots of unsettling vibes. Think abrasive textures and relentless beats that create an immersive, disorienting experience for the listener. Instrumentation in the general style of the references will suit your submissions best, such as acoustic/electronic drums, aggressive synths, sound design, rock guitars, bass, etc. Please be sure any virtual instruments or sounds you use are high-quality and genre-appropriate.

Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity could make your Songs more usable for this placement. Please do NOT copy the referenced Songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general 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.

AI ALERT: This music supervisor 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 will be a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, get 100% of any applicable performance royalties, and also be included in the credit listing. No Publisher splits! You must own or control the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs 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, November 17th, 2024. TAXI # S241117DK

'60s-Style FOLK/POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $1,000 placement by a Film Producer for an upcoming Independent Feature Film that’s currently in post-production!

This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Try to Remember" by The Brothers Four, which is currently temped in:

"Try to Remember" by The Brothers Four

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

NOTE: This Film Producer is open to hearing both high-quality Vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), OR recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the reference and others like it.

Please submit well-crafted Folk/Traditional Pop Songs with a nostalgic, sentimental sound, timeless melodies, and beautiful harmonies. Gentle rhythms, solid arrangements, and warm, reflective motifs are all needed here. Instrumentation should stay in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference, such as acoustic guitar, bass, soft percussion, and string elements. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Ideally, your Songs should create an intimate, heartfelt atmosphere with simple, yet evocative instrumentation and have a melody that tugs at the heartstrings. Expressive and well-performed vocal deliveries (Male or Female) with a classic, sincere sound will also work best.

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

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 license fee for this placement is (up to) $1,000, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Direct-to-Film Producer placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI.

Please submit well-crafted Funk Songs with a minimalist approach and an unorthodox, experimental sound!

INDIE FOLK ARTISTS or BANDS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by the Senior V.P. of A&R at a Major Record Label that's searching for Fresh, New Talent!

This A&R Executive is searching for acts that would appeal to fans of these references:

"Never Meant" by Iron & Wine

"Good People" by Mumford & Sons & Pharrell Williams

"Afraid" by The Franklin Electric

Please submit well-crafted Indie Folk Songs with mainstream appeal, Americana influences, and a sound that could be heard on an NPR Radio station! Memorable melodies, captivating choruses, catchy hooks, dynamic arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics are all needed for this opportunity. The overall vibe should be warm and organic, blending traditional Folk elements with a modern twist to fit a wide audience. Folk and Americana-influenced Instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will probably work best (think acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, drums, etc). Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and not dated-sounding. Honest, authentic vocal performances with a modern sound and style are needed. Although the references include Male vocals, this label is interested in hearing tracks featuring either Male or Female vocals.

NOTE: This Label is not looking for retro or old-school Folk music; your submissions should sound fresh, current, and have a cool, modern edge that resonates with today’s listeners.

IMPORTANT: This A&R Executive is interested in artists and bands that have gained some traction from actively working on their careers. Please detail (in your bio) what you're doing to move your career forward. Include any impressive touring, fan base, sales, streaming, or social media figures. That said – if you’re a new artist or band just starting out and 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!

TAXI Tip: We recommend submitting at least 2 Songs per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.

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 for texture and tone.

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 by a TAXI A&R Team Member who has a strong relationship with the Executive. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Wednesday, November 6th, 2024. TAXI # S241106QB

VINTAGE MAMBO INSTRUMENTALS recorded before 1990 are needed by an A-List Music Publisher for Film and TV sync licensing. This company has a "zillion" great placements. Many of those are for TAXI members.

"MAMBO INN" by Johnny Pacheco

"Qué Rico Mambo" by Pérez Prado

NOTE: Some light vocals or vocal chants (similar to the last reference) are ok here, but please do not submit full vocal Songs for this opportunity.

Broadcast Quality should be era-appropriate. You can submit old masters — or even well-recorded/produced demos — for this request.

Please submit original Mambo Instrumentals recorded before the year 1990 (give or take a year or two) with an exciting, culturally rich sound and lots of danceable energy! This Publisher is also open to similar vintage Cuban Instrumentals that may not technically be Mambo, but have a similar sound and vibe. Syncopated rhythms, excellent musicianship, solid arrangements, and great compositions are all needed. Traditional Cuban instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will probably work best, such as brass, bass, congas, bongos, timbales, etc. Original Compositions only, please!

Please make sure your tracks were actually recorded before 1990 (give or take a couple of 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, 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!

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.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the Copyright. You keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization.

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 Songs signed.

Your name needs to be on the Copyright. Your Instrumentals need to be original compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the Copyright and Master recordings to submit for this pitch. 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 (PST) on Monday, November 11th, 2024. TAXI # S241111ZE

TAXI Tip: If you nail this pitch and land in this company's catalog, you might not have a lot of competition when supervisors and editors are searching for this genre. This is a great chance to be a standout in a potentially under-populated genre. Zig when everybody else zags. ;-)

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions must sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that's a plus! If you have a catalog of Vintage recordings in this style, they'd love to hear those, as well!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has a strong preference for signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard music library deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs.

MODERN INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ ARTISTS or BANDS (in a wide range of styles) are needed by a U.K.-based Record Label. They're on the prowl for some exciting acts to sign, and we'd love for you to be one of them!!

NOTEWORTHY: This Label signed a TAXI Member, and they found them through a listing just like this!!!

Take a listen to the references below to get an idea of what might get this amazing Record Label interested:

"Healthy Ground" by Léon Phal

"Continuum 2" by Nala Sinephro

"The Herald" by Ezra Collective

Please send in well-composed Jazz Instrumentals that showcase your one-of-a-kind sound and musical abilities! Your submissions should have stand-out musicianship and genre-appropriate arrangements with plenty of forward motion and interest. This Label is particularly interested in Jazz Artists and Bands that push the envelope with a cutting-edge sound and overall contemporary approach. Jazz instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best. Live instrumentation is strongly recommended, but if you choose to use virtual instruments or samples, please make sure they are high-quality and not dated-sounding.

TAXI Tip: We know that Jazz is a pretty wide-ranging genre. This Company is definitely looking for cool, unique Artists to sign, but your submissions shouldn't be so "out there" and/or "abstract" that they have zero commercial appeal.

NOTE: This Label is interested in artists and bands that are actively building their careers. In your bio, please include any touring, fan base, sales, streaming, and social media figures you may have. If you’re an artist or band that’s just starting out and you don’t have much of a story or track record yet, but you DO have an amazing sound and some killer Instrumentals to back it up, they still want to hear you!

We recommend that you submit at least THREE TRACKS per submission so they can see if you’ve got depth in your material.

Your productions and recording quality need to be clean, clear, well-balanced, and good enough to represent your Tracks well. 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.

Please submit as many Instrumentals as you'd like, online or per CD, and please include a photo and a bio. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST) on Monday, November 4th, 2024. TAXI # S241104ZZ

Jazz instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best for this, such as guitars, keys/piano, bass, drums, brass, etc. It’s important that your compositions convey a genuine, organic feel, steering clear of anything that sounds synthetic or programmed, so live instrumentation is recommended. If you do decide to use any virtual instruments or samples, please make sure they are high-quality and very realistic sounding.

The vibe here needs to stay relaxed and smooth, so please avoid anything too abstract or experimental that could distract from the easygoing atmosphere. Focus on creating a cohesive, mellowed-out sound that’s accessible and enjoyable, with subtle yet masterful musicality and tasteful Jazz elements that add depth without overpowering the mood.

Please 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 awesome publisher is looking for Songs that are in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

Authentic melodies, Mambo-inspired rhythms, excellent musicianship, solid arrangements, and well-crafted lyrics are all needed for this opportunity.

This is a golden opportunity to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today’s market!

AI ALERT: This company does not accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using AI, nor does it accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or lead/backing  vocal performances created with AI.

The Company pays you upfront for the Master Rights and the Publisher’s share of the Copyright. You keep the Writer’s Share and earn income from performance royalties paid by your Performing Rights Organization. This Company often averages several placements per week, and many of those are TAXI members who’ve been signed with them because they submitted to a listing like this! 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 Songs signed.

QUOTING THE EXECUTIVE: "We're looking for fresh, radio-ready tracks that align with current chart trends while bringing a unique edge."

Please submit Pop Songs that showcase your production skills and demonstrate your ability to create cutting-edge tracks that could be heard on Pop radio! Slick production techniques, engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, modern, Pop-friendly motifs, and well-written lyrics are all needed for this request. Pop instrumentation in the general stylistic ballpark of the references and other current/mainstream Pop Songs in the same general style will work best. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and modern. Well-performed vocals with excellent vocal processing and a mainstream Pop sound will go a long way here!

NOTE: This Label is interested in finding songwriters that can produce their own tracks.  If you’re a producer with Pop Songs that show off your production skills - highlighting your knack for crafting high-quality, engaging tracks - this Executive wants to hear what you've got!

IMPORTANT: This A&R Exec really wants to see links to your Social Media to help him get the Record Label's CEO excited about you. Even if you don't have millions of followers, please provide the links in your bio, as well as anything else you're doing, like streaming success, or anything that shows you're actively working on your career.

DREAMY, '50s-Style JAZZ BALLADS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $2,000, Direct-to-Film Producer placement in an upcoming Independent Feature Film that's currently in post-production!

Note: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits.

This Film's Producer is on the hunt for Songs that could work as a replacement for "Dream A Little Dream of Me" by Doris Day, which is currently temped in:

"Dream A Little Dream of Me" by Doris Day

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "Songs should match the reference material in tone, tempo, and instrumentation. Vocals can be either male or female. The themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."

IMPORTANT: While this Company would love to find material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in or around the 1950s, they are open to recordings from any era, as long as they capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the reference.  If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to be virtually indistinguishable from authentic, vintage recordings!

Please submit well-crafted Jazz Ballads with sentimental and tender lyrical themes and an authentic '50s sound, style, and vibe. Dreamy choruses, down-tempo rhythms, nostalgic motifs, and smooth, well-performed vocals are all needed. Your tracks should have an easy-to-listen-to sound and a gentle, wistful tone that feels familiar and intimate. Jazz instrumentation that was popular in the '50s will most likely work best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Capturing the timeless, dreamy energy of the reference (without copying it!) through era-appropriate sounds and vocal deliveries is key!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity won't eliminate your submission from consideration, but given the genre, era, and lyrical themes needed, we generally recommend avoiding its use. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

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.

RETRO-Style DANCE/ELECTRO-POP SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $500 placement by a Film Producer for an upcoming Independent Feature Film that’s currently in post-production!

This Film's Producer is looking for Songs that could work as a replacement for "I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover, which is currently temped in:

"I Cry (Night after Night)" by The Egyptian Lover

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

Please submit well-crafted Dance/Electro-Pop Songs with a retro-inspired sound (think '80s), melancholy melodies, and infectious grooves. Engaging rhythms, solid arrangements, 80s-inspired motifs, and well-written lyrics are all needed here. Instrumentation should stay in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference, such as synths, bass, drum machine, guitar, etc. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples used are high-quality and genre-appropriate. Having some great atmospheric synth layers that evoke a sense of nostalgia, complemented by driving rhythms and a bitter-sweet melodic hook could all help you get close to what this Producer is looking for! Rhythmic and well-performed vocal deliveries (Male or Female) will help as well.

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form.

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

Compelling vocal performances are needed. Aim for an unorthodox, slightly off-kilter sound that captures the urgency and excitement of the reference track while being sure not to copy or clone it!

Pro Tip: It's often a good idea to match (or be very close to) the tempo of the song that's currently temped in. It can make it easier for the film's editor to place it and can create a sense of familiarity and "comfort" for the person making the final decision as to which song gets selected.

"A Teenager In Love" by Dion & The Belmonts

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "Songs should match the reference material in tone, tempo, and instrumentation. Vocals can be either male or female. The themes of the lyrics are chosen to match the themes and tone of the scenes they play on, so Songs with similar themes will get favor. Things like tempo are important, but since they aren't being used in a dance fashion, they don't have to match exactly."

IMPORTANT: While this Company would love to hear material that was ACTUALLY RECORDED in the 1950s (or early 1960s), they are open to recordings from any era, as long as they capture the sound, feel, and vibe of the reference. If you're submitting recently recorded material, it needs to be virtually indistinguishable from authentic, vintage recordings!

Please submit well-crafted Doo-Wop/Rock & Roll Songs with an authentic '50s sound, style, and vibe. Sentimental choruses, doo-wop style harmonies, swingin' rhythms, feel-good motifs, and expressive, well-performed lead vocals are all needed. Your songs should evoke a nostalgic, heart-on-your-sleeve vibe, with catchy melodies that flow seamlessly over rich, vocal-driven arrangements. Authentic-sounding instrumentation that stays in the general wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best. Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre/era-appropriate. Capturing the innocent, feel-good energy of the reference is key, and the instrumentation and production should feel timeless, warm, and effortlessly classic.

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, and brands could make your Songs easier to place. Per the Film Producer, profanity is ok here. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it 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.

DARK, CHAOTIC METAL SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for a Direct-to-Music Supervisor Placement in an upcoming Indie Feature Film.

The Music Supervisor is on the hunt for Songs in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the following references:

WARNING: The references may include graphic and explicit lyrics. Listener discretion is advised.

"Tongues" by The Chariot

"Deep in the Willow" by Knocked Loose

"Under Duress" by Converge

Please submit Metal Songs with an overtly aggressive, intense, and chaotic sound that could be found on a playlist with the references! Your submissions should have dark melodies, intense rhythms, and metal-oriented vocal deliveries, such as screams, growls, inhales, vocal fry, etc. This Supervisor is looking for tracks that deliver a disturbing intensity and unleash pure chaos, with a raw, no-holds-barred sound. Think aggressive, unrelenting energy and a sense of looming unease. Instrumentation in the general style of the references will suit your submissions best, such as layered electric guitars, hard-hitting drums, bass, etc. Please be sure any virtual instruments or sounds you use need to be high-quality and genre-appropriate.

Lyrics that don’t have references to specific names, dates, times, brands, places, and profanity could make your Songs more usable for this placement. Please do NOT copy the referenced Songs or artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general 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.

NOTE: TAXI doesn't normally take requests for music for Indie Films unless there is a sync fee paid to the music creators. If there are any sync fees paid for this project, they will likely be on the smaller side (we would guesstimate less than $1,000), with most of the income earned via P.R.O. royalties paid down the road. However, this request comes from an excellent Music Supervisor who has a history of using music from TAXI's members. We think this is a great chance to (possibly) make some money upfront; and maybe, more importantly, it's an opportunity for this extremely busy Music Supervisor to get to know you and your music (and at the very least, make some performance income when the film streams or goes to cable).

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 will be a Non-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placement, so you’ll get 100% of the Sync Fee (if applicable), keep 100% of your Publishing and Master ownership, get 100% of any applicable performance royalties, and also be included in the credit listing. No Publisher splits! You must own or control the Master and Copyright to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs 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 Friday, November 15th, 2024. TAXI # S241115MT

NOTE: We previously ran this request as TAXI Listing  #D241015NC but the Company didn't find what they were looking for. If you submitted to listing  #D241015NC please send different material this time around.

TAXI Tip: If you nail this pitch and land in this company's catalog, you might not have a lot of competition when supervisors and editors are searching for this genre. This is a great chance to be a standout in a potentially under-populated genre. Zig when everybody else zags. ;-)

This Company is searching for Instrumentals/Cues in All Tempos in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"Brurmarsj Frå Lom" by Jon Faukstad

"Tiundaland: In Memory of Byss-Calle" by Lyremadr

"Vidnir (Forest Dweller)" by Dreyma

NOTE: Traditional sounds and Influences from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Åland could all potentially work here!

Please submit a wide range of original Instrumentals and/or Cues with an authentic and traditional Nordic/Scandinavian sound and vibe! This Company is looking for pieces that evoke the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape, with ancient melodies that transport the listener to misty fjords, towering pine forests, and windswept mountains. Your submissions should have culturally rich motifs, engaging rhythms, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest. Due to the wide-ranging nature of the request, instrumentation may vary, but please aim to keep it generally aligned with traditional Nordic/Scandinavian music. (Hardanger Fiddle, Nyckelharpa, Lur, Willow Flute, Sami Drum, Kantele, Langspil, etc) Original compositions only, please!

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE CLIENT: The client is NOT interested in hearing pre-made loops or synthetic, "in-the-box"-sounding Instruments. Your submissions must sound and feel like the real deal. Authentic performances and instrumentation are the key to nailing this request! We don’t recommend using virtual instruments for this pitch unless your virtual instruments sound indistinguishable from the real thing. If you're from this region and grew up playing this type of music, that's a plus! If you have a catalog of Vintage recordings in this style, they'd love to hear those, as well!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long for Instrumentals and roughly 1.5 to 2 minutes for Cues, give or take. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best for this request. 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. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This company has a strong preference for signing material from composers who have worked for libraries and licensing companies in the past and understand how standard music library deals work. If you don't have that experience and you don't know the drill on typical deals, then they politely ask that you don't submit to this request.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal, so please be sure the Instrumentals (or Cues) you pitch for this opportunity are NOT already signed with other Companies or Catalogs. You'll get 100% of the Writer's share, and the Publisher will get 100% of the Publisher's share. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit. Please submit as many Instrumentals and/or Instrumental Cues 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 Wednesday, November 13th, 2024. TAXI # S241113NN
