"Decibel and the soon to be launched Crazy Bird Record Label out of Seattle
are teaming up to bring you the NW Electronic Music Online Store (proper
name to follow). The initial concept will feature NW electronic music
artists (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, etc) with plans to expand out to
national and international acts in 2008. That being said, Decibel is seeking
MP3 submissions for this on-line music store.
REQUIREMENTS:
- NW artist only
- Must be some form of electronic music (Electro Pop, Dub,
Dance, Hip Hop, Ambient, Noise, etc)
- Exclusive content (negotiable depending on your label
arrangements)
- Up to 10 submissions per moniker
- 320k size MP3 files only (high quality MP3)
SUBMISSION PROCESS:
- Please send MP3 LINKS (NOT ACTUAL FILES) to sean@dbfestival.com
- Use the follow naming configuration for the files
(artist title_song title.mp3 )
- If you are selected, we'll be contacting you with further
information (PLEASE DON'T FOLLOW UP)
- If you don't have the means to upload / link MP3 files you can
also send a CD to:
Decibel
8816 10th Ave SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Contracts, fees and percentages are currently being negotiated. Rest
assured, the main focus of this on-line store will be exposure for the
artist, not profit margins.
The top artist submissions will be selected to perform at the VIP Lounge
(Neumos) as part of the 2007 Decibel Festival's "NW Showcase".
Let's hear what you've got Cascadia!!! :)
Cheers,
Sean Horton

I'm having trouble believing that an operation such as this is insisting on exclusivity. I would hope they're only talking about exclusivity on the material, because if they're trying to get exclusive ACTS, they're going to have an 'interesting' time of it. From my experience, those of us working on this sort of music need multiple outlets for our stuff in order to really get anywhere; I haven't signed off on an 'exclusive' deal since a mistake with a German trance label in the mid-90s, and I'll never, EVER do it again.
ReplyDeleteNo-name record label wants to shaft electronic musicians. News at 11...
ReplyDeleteI don't get the intersection of 'internet' with 'regional artists only'.
ReplyDeleteInternet to me means hyper-global.
For the most part anyway.
Isn't Decibel the guys who screwed Severed Heads over on the Gigapus album?
