GENIE HQKeymasterGreetings everybody,
We have an opportunity that we’d like to offer you all…
We’d like to put together a folder of 20 demo’s from our members (YOU) and send this to our various contacts and labels within the scene. This will of course include all the artists we have worked with so far:
Amoss / State Of Mind / Prolix / Xtrah / FD / Hybris / Inside Info / Quadrant / Stealth / Maztek / Mikal / Rido / Foreign Concept / Billain / Cern / Fre4knc / Silent Witness
Also our contacts at labels: Ram / Invisible / Critical / Dispatch / Cyberfunk / Automate + others
We’ll send what we consider to be the best 20 tunes of what we receive from you guys. This will be folder’d up and sent with a personal message for each label / artist.
If you’d like the chance of getting your music heard, played or possibly signed please get involved!
Just some notes:
– Consider the people we are sending to and the style that might be appropriate
– Make sure the track(s) are finished and full length
– Send a maximum of 2 tracks into us
– Master it if you want, a pre-master is fine too. But the track has to impress technically.
– Ensure your demo’s aren’t online publicly, labels will drop in an instant if they see this
– Include ALL your contact details please in the file name for the track.
– Send a 320kbps MP3Please send a private link (dropbox / soundcloud etc) to our email address:
[email protected] (download’s enabled.)We aim to send this exclusive demo folder off by 15th December, so please take your time in getting together your best two tracks. If we include it we will let you know.
We really look forward to checking out your music 😀

andrewt7941ParticipantI have a tune, however there is a 2 minute clip of it on skankandbass and it’s not the final version. Am I ok to send through the full final finished version?

I wanted to ask, I recently had album come out(few days ago) but still would love to be included in the demo pool for consideration as I won’t be having more releases any time soon. Is that ok?
-
2015-11-24 at 13:37:47 #5790,GENIE HQKeymaster
Hi Jesse, Sure I guess we could have a promo folder which includes some recent releases from people too. But the idea here is to send in unsigned fresh music from yourself, with a view to getting some releases / interest lined up for you guys. So try and send new stuff if possible.

HowitzerParticipantThis is a great idea, thanks for sorting this for us newcomers. I don’t really have anything suitable at the moment but I’m working on some that are more in line with the sounds from the artists you’re sending these too. I may submit a couple anyway, but if it goes well I’d love to see this happening regularly 🙂
-
2015-11-24 at 13:40:24 #5791,GENIE HQKeymaster
Hi there, sure send away 🙂 And if we get a good standard of submission on this round we will definitely make this a regular feature..

Mix or master?

2015-11-25 at 18:48:27 #5796,GENIE HQKeymaster
can be either, but has to sound good, possibly a limted verison..

UPDATE: Some great tunes in so far, lots of different vibes which is great – please please please remember to label your tracks properly though, what if someone loves your tunes and we can’t get hold of you!?

SGAGParticipantWill this be something you guys manage to do bi-annually? I’m working on a 4 tune EP, I’ve signed a single and an EP already, but this next project is going to be really technically proficient, head and shoulders above anything I’ve created thus far, and I’d like to have the best opportunity for a tune or two from it to be heard by these labels; I’m working with a few expert sound engineers, and I likely won’t be finished until June. I love the community here and would love to take advantage of this, but currently don’t have anything worth sending. Again, that being said, I’ll have some huge stuff ready a few months from now, and I’d love to be a part of a later VIP sendoff. You guys here are awesome!
-
2015-12-03 at 20:47:07 #6913,GENIE HQKeymaster
Yes indeed, all going well this will be at least twice a year..
Sounds really interesting and can’t wait to here what you’re working on!

-
2015-12-07 at 19:03:47 #6968,EricParticipant
Just a quick question, are the labels/producers involved looking for strictly 172 stuff or would their be people interested in other tempos?
-
2015-12-09 at 14:54:23 #6987,GENIE HQKeymaster
Might be best to stick to dnb tempo stuff, unless it’s too good, then by all means send it down!
-
2015-12-12 at 20:10:15 #7025,EricParticipant
okay sounds good. also, would we be able to send bootlegs? currently sitting on a bootleg of a well-known track that I think maybe dj’s would dig possibly

RowanParticipantHey there,
When will you be letting the cat out the bag on who has been selected?
I sent my tracks in and although I’m not confident, can’t wait to know who got through the first round.
Cheers
-
2015-12-29 at 11:24:26 #7156,GENIE HQKeymaster
Hey Rowan, we have had to change the plan a little as there has been so much music sent in. Lots of different styles and not all of it suitable for each label. So it needs to be sorted into a few folders and sent out individually. We’ll be hitting the big labels first, then shortly after that the others + the artists mentioned. Will update asap! Thanks for taking part.

OK THE DEMO’S ARE SORTED, LABELLED AND IN FOLDERS!!
To do this project properly this has taken quite a lot longer than expected, making sure all of the demos had multiple listens in various places, thinking about each folder and considering the labels they are going to…
Firstly the strength of the submission is pretty damn amazing.
Every single track had a distinct flavour and concept, groove or vibe.
Every track we got sent.But as you know we’ve had to trim it down to what really is the best we can offer out at the moment. The top 20 tracks really were a pleasure to listen over and to know these guys have been using Sample Genie is just awesome.
So the artists who made demovip001 on this round are:
SYK
CONDUIT
SUBCORP
DEFICIT & FEARFUL
MONTY
PULEX
PHONOGRAPH
INSECT
S-CAPADE
CHILL
SPECTRUM AUDIO
FELINE
R4NS0M
CORPWhat’s Next?
The First stage is now getting the demo’s out to the labels everybody here already knows or follows such as: Critical, Invisible, Dispatch, Cyberfunk, ProgRam
Once we’ve had some feedback from those camps, we’ll be sending everything to the Dj’s and other producers we’ve worked with along with some other wicked up and coming labels.
This way we can say to each label these are fully exclusive tracks – much more appealing!Well done for everybody putting their details on the files – If we hear anything we will be in touch straight away. If you can keep your tracks private and put to one side for a few weeks – nothing worse than giving it away online and then someone wants to sign the tune – nightmare.
So thank you all again for taking part, this has been really exciting to do and so encouraging to hear what’s been going on out there.. There will definitely be more of these demo folders happening! Maximum Respect

Hi guys,
Unfortunately looks like we’ve missed the boat on this, is it something you will be looking to do again? Just wondering if there is any point in us sending in a couple of tracks at the moment for feedback/forwarding or if we would be better off waiting until you do another batch, if that’s the plan…?
Cheers.

Wow! Thank you so much this is amazing, going to check these out immediately and let you know if there’s anything we are into.
Really appreciate the time and effort of everyone involved and especially yourselves for hooking this up!
Hope all is well and please thank the individuals who submitted the demos from me personally or feel free to forward this message to them all.
Big love guys! Will be in touch real soon.
