*** ---- ---- RECORDINGS was founded in 2004 with the vision to create a label that not only represented the music but also the culture and fashion. To this end ---- ---- are creating a clothing line to complement the music.

---- ---- is about dirty beats, melodic bass lines, an uplift- ing feel and hot vocals, The in-house producers come from London, New York, Europe and S America and have grown up with an eclectic mix of Latin and Western genres.

*** Nick ---- at ---- MUSIC is looking looking for a rock/indie band and 'exceptional' singer/songwriter with an albums worth of good, solid and above all, marketable material.

You must have the dedication and commitment to move to the next level where you will be working with a professional production team leading to the possibility of a commercial release. Original material only. Send full press-kit, gig list plus CD, marking package " Bandit ".

He is also looking for artists who are gigging heavily with a proven fan-base and mastered product 'ready to go'. Again, original material only.

*** ---- RECORDS is a copy-left record label based in Brighton. ---- has been releasing copy-left since 1999 and have used a vari- ety of different licenses and approaches. They take an innovative approach to Intellectual Property and releasing records, concentrat- ing on finding and developing new artists.

---- releases 1000 copy runs in physical formats such as vinyl and CD, this gives the release an added aesthetic aura. These releases are then licensed under the creative commons attribution - share-alike license which permits others to freely use the work pro- viding that it is released under the same license. The share-alike component enables free use by their customers and fans, but does not preclude further commercial licensing, for instance for film or tele- vision use (who may wish to avoid the share-alike clause).

The advantages of this business model are a more positive relationship with customers and the ability to expand a band's audience through online peer2peer networks and web-sites (without the usual worries about copyright infringement and liability).

Acts on their label so far are ----, ----n and ----t. Music area: Electronica, IDM, Folktronica,

*** Dave ---- has set up a record label to go with his manage- ment and publishing arms. ----L RECORDINGS is an outlet for new, exciting artists to release albums and build profile to- wards getting that major label deal. First album will be out early in 2007.

Dave is looking for acts that have the capacity to make a debut album that will blow everyone away like Psychocandy, Marqee Moon, Roxy Music etc.

*** ---- MANAGEMENT GROUP describe themselves as "The Taste Makers of the Music Industry", offering international and na- tional artists the proper representation they deserve, and listeners the colorful and diverse music of multicultural talent.

MUSAIC has relationships with various major labels in the US and world-wide (ie. Def Jam, Universal, BMG, Atlantic Records). They want only the best, energetic, upwardly mobile artists with crea- tivity and originality, who are willing to take steps toward their own success, whether in the recording studio or on the stage. The current styles they handle are R&B, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Rock and Pop.

To contact, please send an e-mail initially to introduce yourself, perhaps with a myspace link, and they will give you a forwarding ad- dress to send a package to if they are interested in what you're do- ing. They are based in New York City.

My contact, CEO, AMANDA ---- wishes me to add they would also like to hear from upcoming media entities (magazines, tv, radio, music related web-sites, college programs) and promoters (live or syndicated).

*** ---- is an online distributor offering artists a whopping 90% royalty, without any strings-attached contracts. They "help artists without a digital label to be heard on digital music services risk free". Of most interest to Bandit readers, Boptunes place their content on iTunes in the USA, UK and EU, Australia and Japan, something almost impossible to do independently.

The catalog is also available through MusicNet, Rhapsody, and Napster. No sign up or other fees are required to benefit from Bop- tunes services. All you have to do is email to set up a free account.

*** THE ---- is a full length HD feature film starring Hakeem ---- from 'Hotel Rwanda' and 'Pirates of the Carribean 3' and renowned model, Jennifer ----.

The producers are looking for a musician interested in scoring the movie in a style reminiscent of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" but with an aftertaste of arabic/middle eastern composition. They want someone who is willing to take risks and be experimental.

Although a non paid position, working on this project would be a feather in the cap of any aspiring film composer, and a credit which would undoubtedly open doors for the future.

*** ---- ENTERTAINMENT is one of the most successful entertainment organizations in the world. ---- Entertainment has collaborated with some of the world's top multi-platinum & grammy award winning producers and writers who have worked with many major labels and multi-platinum selling acts including: Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Missy Elliot, Method Man and 'N Sync

---- Entertainment is now seeking artists from the UK, USA, and all countries in ALL music genres for MAJOR LABEL recording contracts.

Songs must be professionally demoed and sung...100% of publishing must be available.

THE ---- PROJECT is dedicated to giving recognition to outstanding works of innovative acoustic music that have never had the acclaim they deserve.

They are accepting submissions for the "Best CDs of 2006" Awards. Any full length, mostly acoustic CD released independently during the year qualifies. Fifteen awards will be given: Acoustic Ensemble, Alternative Country, Alternative Rock, Americana, Celtic, Instrumental, Lyrics, Multi-Genre, Rock, Roots, Singer-Songwriter (Male), Singer-Songwriter (Female), and World Music-Africa, World Music-Latin, and World Music-Eurasia & Global.

*** Are you extreme? ---- VIDEO PRODUCTIONS produces a line of action packed extreme sports DVDs. They are currently seeking music to license for upcoming releases.

These DVDs are full of action, and music is needed to fuel the excitement. Accepted genres include punk, metal, rock, hip hop, and anything else that will fit their extreme mould.

*** ---- releases dangerous, relevant music. Owners JUSTIN ---- and ALLYSIA ---- say, "forget everything you know about punk or hardcore or any other compart- mentalzied subcategory."

Being totally legit with their bands is what they're all about. The roster includes the mastodonic death-grind of Sweden's ----, The ----, and Jenny ----.

*** ---- RECORDS is the record label of Michigan music en- trepreneur CHRIS ----. Chris scours the web, shows, and flyers to find the latest up-and-coming bands, without genre prejudice.

If you'd like to submit material for consideration, choose 3-4 songs MAX for your demo CD - DO NOT send links to your band's web-site, or mp3s. Write your contact information on the CD itself as well as your package, which should include a press kit with a bio, any press clippings, and photo.

*** ----MEDIA connects musicians with independent film makers seeking music for their next project. These film projects include Film School student projects, small budget Indie Films, Digital Short Films, Corporate Projects and Films, and TV show pilots.

----Media has helped find music for films all over the globe. They offer, Digital Film License Agreements, a unique technology which allows musicians and filmmakers worldwide the ability to legally sign licensing agreements electronically, and meets all requirements in over 30 countries currently.

All interested musicians will need to register at the web-site in order to participate, and can find more info there of all the services they offer, both to musicians and filmmakers.
