Calling all EDM and House Producers; Can you replay hits from David Guetta, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Clean Bandit, Afrojack, Zedd, Axwell, LMFAO... ?

I'm associated with a well established music company that specializes in remakes of various types of music.

They are highly connected throughout the music industry, and right now they need to find some new producers that can make good quality instrumental covers of EDM and House tracks.


Requirements and the criteria to apply are as follows;

1: Demos or finished track submissions from those AudioSex members that are skilled in sound-shaping and creating good sound-alikes of current and/or past hits.

2: Vocals are not necessary as the company will take care of that side of the production. Just need talented music producers out there who can supply the instrumental work.

3: This work will most certainly be paid for. The producers that are chosen will be in receipt of a legally binding agreement, plus each producer will be fully credited for his/her work.

4: The end product is solely intended for an iOS/Android app for personal use. However, there could be scope for a potential single or album release, for which another contract will be issued to the producer prior to his/her work being exploited in any way.

5: Please submit your tracks by sending me a PM whenever you can. There's no official deadline or time limit, but obviously places are very limited - they can only take a few producers.

You will be given full details about the project once your demo or finished track submission is accepted. All you need is a valid email address once you're chosen for the work.

Hopefully you can see what a great opportunity this could be... it's a win-win situation that could open up many doors for our talented guys here.

Good luck!!

 

Any idea what the pay would be? (to determine if it's worth pulling me off other projects)... yes, I know, I'm a musical whore.

 

It's totally fair to ask that. I'm curious as well.
Cheers.

 

@ KingSchlongXVII,

Here's where I dislike the term : 'replay Hits'... which means 'literally', in some sense, do the same !

Another concern could be that if you exactly replicate an established Hit, what about the 'Melodies' Copyright Infringements ?
If you exactly 'trace' an already well-known established Hit, it's a kind of 'working forger', isn't ?

Couldn't this be better to try to do something 'original' with, of course, some 'eye winks' to some already well established 'DJs/Producers' as those cited in your Request ?

 

Yes, it's literally the same - that's exactly what's required whether you like the term 'replay' or not. That's precisely what a replay is.

Publishing Clearance (correct term for the written element) is not a concern for the producer. Each replay would be cleared for publishing prior to usage.

As far as payment is concerned, those that show enough willingness to participate will be told exactly what can be earned from this. It won't be shown here.

Be assured that this is a fully fledged and established company that we're talking about here. If you want to apply, you know what to do. Thanks.

 

Derp derp derp. Ok....

 

And what if, in case i wanna participate, i would like to know the amount from the start so i can think better if it's really worthy for me to spend my time for it?
Do you think that people will start working right away for something they wouldn't know how much is worth... and after they put a lot of work in it, they would unfortunately find out
that they just wasted their time for nothing?
It should be easy for a "fully fledged and established company" to mention the benefits of a potential participant.
At least you could've said: "PM me and i'll tell you the price there". Wouldn't be that fair?

 

And what if, you try and think the other way around - try and prove what you're worth first and then you'll see the PM's will flow to your in-box.

Try applying for a job (let's say, the manager of a games company), and you email the company claiming to be the best at what you do, without being able to prove it. You've applied with no resume/CV, no qualifications whatsoever. And there you are, asking "well, how much you gonna pay me? Huh?". Yeah, not a great start to the interview process, is it?

Why don't you try and think with your head instead of coming over like an argumentative clown? Let's not turn this into anything other than what's on offer. You don't like the way it's presented? Fine. Don't apply. Trust me, so far you've failed even the basic premise of applying.

To all the others who have more decorum and sense, a simple PM with what you have to offer would suffice. That's perfectly normal for most work-related posts, especially in the media industry. You show them what you're worth. It's honestly the only way that I can even begin to introduce you to the company and what they have to offer.

 

Wow, already had some really impressive producers in just a short space of time.

Keep 'em coming!!

 

"Try applying for a job (let's say, the manager of a games company),(...) You've applied with no resume/CV, no qualifications whatsoever. And there you are, asking "well, how much you gonna pay me? Huh?". Yeah, not a great start to the interview process, is it?"
Mhh funny. When I applied in IT domain, I didn't have a big resumé, and no qualification. THEY asked ME, how much I wanted everytime. (it's more polite), the subject came up pretty early in the discussion. check your facts.

Replaying is fine in advertisement (actually it's not), and it's how it usually works. marketing agency will give you top40 references, and you have to mimic it. Playing David Guetta on the TV is expensive, and it's cheaper if an obscure producer can come up with similar feel for a fraction of the price.
Which gets me to next question : THERE SHOULD BE A PRICE! (even if debated afterward) not a : "This work will most certainly be paid for."
(as you like analogies : go in a fried chicken restaurant and try this line : "prepare me this Tenders look-alike, i'll most certainly pay for them". Ridiculous, right ?

And please : each producer will be fully credited for his/her work. Really ? Like it's a choice of yours... You have to credit any artwork you'll use.

 

Amazing. I'm depicting this strange image in my head of Studio 555, Evorax and PMS, all standing in a room together, all barking at each other like mad rabid dogs. Makes me laugh!!

They obviously have plenty of time to try and win some non-existent argument, instead of making the incredible music they're all (apparently) so fully capable of.

In the meantime to the normal people - please feel free to PM me, as I keep asking, to those of you that have a genuine interest and wish to take up this real opportunity.

Thanks

 

Actually, most professional companies DO list a base salary price/ range for a position when hiring. (Gaming companies most defintely. A friend and I applied to Infinity Ward and a number of others this summer.) However, from the description, this company doesn't seem to be hiring, just offering a paid opportunity just like any typical record label. For example, a record label won't say $100/track when doing a talent search, just that you will sign a contract that could potentially lead to money. Applying for paid and establsihed position vs an artist applying to a label for a chance to be paid - different.

Now, the problem here is that this offer is just a random online post of a unknown company with a promise to pay something (who knows, they could be paying in monopoly money or even peanuts) IF they like someones 'replay'. There is nothing guaranteed/verifiable about this offer. When a producer/artists submits music to a label, they don't know how much they will make, but they can verify that the label exists and can verify that they will be paid (signing a contract) which ultimately leads to money or more opportunities.

 

Exactly!

@KingSchlongXVII
You don't have to get so angry, my friend. I didn't acted like an "argumentative clown". Don't we have the right to counter any suspicious "business opportunity"? It's your duty to enlighten us, but instead, you're offending us.
I just wanted to make sure that hope-based naive people on this forum won't fall in a 20$ trap as long as they're worthy of more.

You said "try and prove what you're worthy first", and if i'm worthy, you or whatever company will probably hit me up with something that i won't find profitable (opportunity is too much said) then what? All i would get after this "worthy proof" is only wasted time, right?
It's not about we wouldn't be good enough, it's about that your "company" wouldn't afford to pay us. A "company" who's not revealing its name directly in just one single post, that's not a big and trusted enough "company" to afford great talents. That's pretty logical.

By the way, the way you comunicate with us it's not worthy of a business-related education. (check out ADAM Audio, one of their PR registered on this forum and introduced themselves from the first post, couldn't you just do the same?)

Soon you will find out where i'm coming from
Have a great day,

Evo

 

And so it goes, the clowns come out and keep shooting the messenger over something that they have no real interest in. You just make me laugh.

In the meantime to the normal people - please feel free to PM me, as I keep asking, to those of you that have a genuine interest and wish to take up this real opportunity.

Provided you actually have something tangible in terms of valid music to hear then if selected you shall be welcomed with open arms and be given further insight into what's on offer.

It's a simple as that. Nobody is being forced to do anything. You want the opportunity, all you need to do is apply.

Thanks

 

Simply incredible hearing some of the talented producers that we have on AudioSex.

In case you're interested in producing replays of EDM or House tracks but haven't submitted your demo(s) yet, there's still some time (at least a few weeks) before all the entries are stacked up and the best of them will be chosen. Here's a recap of the requirements (which have been updated from the original post);

Requirements and the criteria to apply are as follows;

1: Demos or finished track submissions from those AudioSex members that are skilled in sound-shaping and creating good sound-alikes of current and/or past EDM or House hits.

2: Vocals are not necessary as the company will take care of that side of the production. They need talented music producers out there who can supply the instrumental work.

3: Payment - this consists of an advance and royalties payable that shall be determined by the company in accordance with the work that each producer will be requested to submit upon being selected. It could be 1 - 6 tracks required, but this will be negotiated with each producer at the time of selection by the company.

4: The producers that are chosen will be in receipt of a legally binding agreement to confirm the terms of employment. Each producer will be fully credited for his/her work.

5: The end product is solely intended for an iOS/Android app for personal use. However, there could be scope for a potential single or album release, for which another contract will be issued to the producer prior to his/her work being exploited in any way.

Good luck!!

The only clown here is you KingSchlongXVII. How much will YOU make with these deals or just starting ... a manager career, building up connections? And if I deliver the crap you are asking for, will you keep my AS-nick confidential ... Mr. Sellout?
Putting names on respected members ... is a bad start, without any prospect of possible profit ... talking of "normal people"
Whatever ... you got what you want already, good for you.

There's been some really promising submissions so far, thank you to those that have a genuine interest and can take the time to apply.

Still some time left for others to make their application. I'll recap and update the requirements every once in a while for you too.

Looking forward to hearing more entires coming in. Thanks again!

 

Some of us (including me) are under the impression that you want people to do the job in advance, then pick the best and maybe pay them what you decide to after the work is done. that is how your initial post can be read. Is it like that?

Maybe you can set things straight:

Finished track submission leads to the conclusion you want work done in advance. Or do you want a sample of the producer's past work?

Wow. I want the mechanic to repair my car's engine. I will most certainly pay him for that. I think he will do the job gladly on this basis, don't you?

Again... see 1.

Win-win situations are usually not characterized by upfront payments and terms like "most-certainly".
Nobody who is serious about business would take advantage of aspiring producers like this.

The correct way (and btw this is how it's usually done) would be to ask for samples of past work and decide on that basis. This is in fact how most record companies award contracts over remixes. But I think you know that.

Do you see now why your posting created such a turmoil?
