"Cinematic Racing Hip-Hop" by Infraction
Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® III - Trailer
QUOTING THE CLIENT: "We need very high energy Hip Hop/Hybrid type tracks. They could have little vocal stabs but it's not necessary. (if they do, something along the lines of "let's go", "get it started", "winning", etc) The idea is high-energy, modern, well-produced, and NOT overly cinematic/traditional trailer-esque. We are looking to avoid the more typical "trailer" approach and “taiko” drums. They need to be crafted with hard-hitting, punchy percussion and cool stabs/elements that help build a story and grow to a big ending."
Please submit well-crafted Hip-Hop Instrumentals with a great blend of high-energy Hip-Hop and epic, cinematic motifs! Your submissions should have adrenaline-pumping energy, hard-hitting beats, captivating compositions, great productions, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest. Instrumentation that's in the general stylistic ballpark of the references will work best, such as modern Hip-Hop beats, orchestral strings, brass stabs, cinematic synths, etc. Please ensure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high quality and very modern.
NOTE: Per the Client, your tracks should lean heavily into Hip Hop, featuring orchestral elements for added intensity. Please avoid arrangements or compositions that resemble full orchestral scores or traditional movie trailer instrumentals.
Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take, and have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a 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.
Please do NOT submit any tracks with spoken producer tags/watermarks as they're not usable for film and TV placements.

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of MINIMALISTIC, LIGHT-HEARTED ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful boutique Music Library that has tons of credits in Big Films, Countless TV Shows, and TV Commercials!
This is a catalog you most definitely 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're looking for "Positive Tasking" tracks with bright and bouncy patterns featuring pizzicato strings and percussive movement. They should have a minimalistic orchestral approach. They need to have an engaging, rhythmic sound, suitable for design projects, factual films, children's educational content, and task-oriented scenes."
Please submit minimalistic Orchestral instrumentals that radiate brightness and have a positive-sounding energy! These tracks need to have a light-hearted sound that could work well for conveying positive progress or forward movement with a task. Fun and engaging motifs featuring pizzicato/staccato strings and lively percussive movement are essential. A minimal, paired-down approach will help create the type of sound this Library is looking for. (Nothing too heavy or over-the-top in the production or arrangement will work) Aim for an uplifting vibe that invites creativity and focus, and stick with one central motif per piece! Please make sure any virtual instruments or samples you use are very high quality, modern, and very realistic-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 minutes long, give or take. 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.

QUOTING THE CLIENT: "We need very high energy Hip Hop/Hybrid type tracks. They could have little vocal stabs but it's not necessary. (if they do, something along the lines of "let's go", "get it started", "winning", etc) The idea is high-energy, modern, well-produced, and NOT overly cinematic/traditional trailer-esque. We are looking to avoid the more typical "trailer" approach and “taiko” drums. They need to be crafted with hard-hitting, punchy percussion and cool stabs/elements that help build a story and grow to a big ending."

Your submissions should have adrenaline-pumping energy, hard-hitting beats, captivating compositions, great productions, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest.

NOTE: Per the Client, your tracks should lean heavily into Hip Hop, featuring orchestral elements for added intensity. Please avoid arrangements or compositions that resemble full orchestral scores or traditional movie trailer instrumentals.
Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long, give or take, and have non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the referenced acts or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a 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.

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!

Join to submit Members submit here Renew your membershipLots of REGGAE/DUB INSTRUMENTALS with MIDDLE-EASTERN flavor are needed by a leading Music Licensing Company with an excellent track record of placements outside of the U.S. market. This Company is distributed internationally by BMG, so they work with shows that air virtually everywhere in the world.
Important: TAXI members have been reporting tons of placements through this company!
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. ;-)
Sounds and influences from the following geographical areas could all potentially work: North African, Andalusian, Mediterranean, and anywhere from the Middle East all the way to India.
This Company is looking for Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the examples below:
"Jamaican Jallab" by Dub Caravan ft. Mohamad Fityan
"Dub To Palestine" by Dub Caravan
Although some of the references have vocals, please submit instrumentals only for this request.
Please submit a wide range of original Reggae/Dub Instrumentals with lots of Middle-Eastern sounds and influences! Your submissions should have engaging rhythms, solid productions, and dynamic arrangements with lots of forward motion and interest. They should consist of traditional Middle Eastern instrumentation (such as oud, qanun, ney, darbuka, riq, saz, etc) mixed with Reggae and/or Dub sounds, instrumentation, and motifs. Aim to seamlessly weave the intricate melodies and rhythms of Middle Eastern music with the signature offbeat guitar strums and bass-heavy grooves of Reggae, or incorporate the experimental production techniques of dub—such as reverb, echo, and delay—to create a captivating, cross-cultural sound. Please make sure that any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and genre-appropriate.
TAXI Tip: Layering a live instrument over virtual sounds can instantly boost the authenticity and richness of your track, helping elevate the overall production quality. A little organic touch goes a long way!
Your submissions should be around 3 minutes in length, give or take, and definitely no shorter than 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. 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. 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.
