Black Tiger Recordings is now accepting demos of finished (but unmastered if possible) tracks from producers known and unknown world wide for release on 12" vinyl.

Interested producers should send links to files (but not files as attachments) to [email protected][/email]

We are serious about our releases so please do the gut check before you send in your work. Our releases are on vinyl. We have NO interest in something that does not meet the requirements for a vinyl release in our choice of genres, hard trance, epic trance, melodic trance, tech-trance.

This includes but is not limted to the following...

Tracks over 9 minutes or under 6:30
Tracks slower than 138BPM will be rejected.
Tracks produced using hardware or software that limit your ability to provide us with multi-track masters of your tune. We absolutely require this!
The ability to provide us with something that hasn't been given away all over the internet and back at bitrates "suitable" for use by digital DJs. If you have done this in anyway you pretty much just shot yourself in the foot.
Don't do that! IT DOES NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE REGARDLESS OF WHAT SOME 15 year old with digital djing tools might telly you or some washed up superstar DJ who is too lazy to carry a record bag. DON'T FALL INTO THIS TRAP. It's a SCAM.

Please DO send your tunes if you can meet our requirements and you feel you have something that you know you would be comfortable with having on a vinyl record and played by a DJ, big or small.

You don't have to be a big name to get a record released if your tunes are good. We are listening. And there are more of us than you may know.

For more information on Black Tiger Recordings please visit www.blacktigerrecordings.com

This is an open ended demo submission request by Canada's leading trance record company with reps, DJs and producers world wide. We maybe small, but we actually care a whole heck of a lot.

Remember, links only please.

Haha.

I respect producers who prefer to protect their property by posting only samples, low-bitrate versions, etc., but come on, what kind of attitude is that? Some people also like to share and just get their tracks played.

Sheesh, you'd think a 12" release is some sort of medal of honour, even if nobody buys it...

Please ignore these clowns.

Oh and yeah, the 138bmp thing is a general guide line. I got a track submitted yesterday that clocks in around 137 but it "feels" right for playability at +2% - %4 bringing it up above 140bmp and that is where the fun really starts.


And yes, having a 12" release is much more valuable to a producers carreer than a fucking "download". Medal of honor? no. Passing the acid test in terms of producing a track that is viable for release - absolutely.

If its not on 12" vinyl, its not worth playing. NOTHING GIVEN HAS ANYTHING OF VALUE.

The producers who make the cut for the 12" release we do will be able to stand out from the digital noise surrounding us now, and recognition for that is NOT A BAD THING.

Keep the tracks coming people.

We got some really good stuff yesterday (quite impressed actually with the amount of good releasable tracks to crap ratio for a 24 hour period), and some of those tracks from producers are being considered for 12" release for BTR-006 and BTR-007. See, it does work!

We are listening.

Actually pressing your own vinyl isn't that expensive at all, i've looked into it once (check out http://www.discopress.be ),so it's not that special.

But i must be honest that when choosing between being released (on the record label's expense) on Vinyl or MP3 i think anyone would prefer Vinyl. Even if nobody buys it - getting an entry on www.discogs.com would seem cool.

[EDIT]
Maybe i'll get flamed for this. So it's just my opinion, i'm not trying to generalize.

Whats the difference what kind of media the song is played on??
Am i missing something here? i mean sure its different for the dj, but to the people in the club does it really matter? people you all need to chill and forget the differences between vinyl/cd for good. If the track is club worthy, it will be, it doesnt matter if the artist releases it on vinyl or not. But on the other hand, yeah, if it does become "the next big thing" then vinyl release is inevitable id say.

There are fundemental differences between vinyl and any digital playback format for DJ use that when considering the big picture are absolutely critical to the future of dance music as a whole.

Vinyl being the one that provides for that future in a way that many here simply can't understand because they have either short memories are are simply ignorant of the facts.

There is the entire realm of how vinyl sounds when correctly mastered and played back on a sound system such as those one would experience in a decent club or at a large event and how that relates to the musical material intended for presentation over such systems.

Then there is the peformance aspect.

Then there is the cultural impact of all of these factors.

When you look at the big picture, the patterns of history over the past 25 years of dance music and where we are at now, anyone with an objective mind can come to the same conclusion we have at Black Tiger Recordings and the DEJI Council. Vinyl is the ONLY way forward for DJ mixed use and performance.

Live pa's? go to town with whatever makes noise if you will. That's a completely different subject and I am not going to get into it here.
