Our Mandate to you
Who we are and what we do?
We are all musicians ourselves so we are always trying our best to find ways to help our fellow musical brothers, sisters and Non Binaries.
Some people have amazing music but they can’t record it or afford the musicians, some people have brilliant lyrics but need music etc and it’s merely costs being too high that’s stops them from having a fair shot at getting there used or placed.
We try to find ways we can even the playing field for the little guy by giving them cheaper access to the pro level services.

In Store Playlist Placement
Landing your music on in-store playlists will significantly add value to your music.
Once you secure a broadcast placement, your music could be played in frequent circulation at places such as New Look, Oasis, Alexander McQueen, Jaguar, PureGym, Harrods, Costa, FatFace and many others. Consumers in these public places will hear your music and combined with potential Shazam engagement, present an alternative avenue of airplay promotion.
This means your music will reach a wider audience of listeners, as well as increasing the royalties earned from your music.
If you would like to submit your music for consideration then please submit to us via the HQ services.

Festive Music
The lead up to Christmas has begun, and our client is looking for tracks with all the festive feels for a TV montage! This brief is a specific one, genre-wise they want upbeat pop / indie-pop and it needs to have enough energy to drive the scene forward. They are looking to avoid any ‘generic’ or ‘stereotypical’ Christmas tracks and would like festive undertones, whether this is through the lyrics or production, rather than songs that have been written obviously for this season and would never be played at other times during the year. Female vocals are preferred.
Reference: Pretenders – 2000 Miles
Deadline: 17th November 2025

Sports Brand
Lyrical Search for Sports Brand
We have received a lyrical search from a sports brand, and they have asked for tracks that could be associated with themes of competition, winning, two people / sides / teams etc. The lyrics can’t be too aggressive though, think friendly competition rather than violence or any nastiness. Tone wise, it would be best if the tracks are edgy with a bit of attitude, but genre is completely open.
Reference: Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Deadline: 24th November 2025

High Energy Music for Advert
High Energy D&B for Advert
For this campaign, we have been asked for high energy drum and bass tracks from exciting up-and-coming artists who can resonate with a younger audience. It’s important that whilst the tracks have a strong beat to drive the advert forward, they are not too aggressive overall, and an aspect of playfulness and fun remains throughout. For this reason, light-hearted lyrics would work really well. Our client is very much focused on new releases for this spot, so we would like to pitch tracks that came out in 2025 only.
Deadline: 3rd November 2025
