Yes, EIGHT-TRACKS is always looking for music and is happy to listen to yours. Here are some guidelines:
- We are interested in funky eclectic house (or house-ish) tracks
- Nothing too tracky or repetitive ... the more song-like the better
- If it's sorta weird and quirky, we will probably like it a little more
- Vocals or vocal hooks aren't necessary but are a plus
- We're not interested in tracks with uncleared and identifiable samples
- We have a weakness for guitars
As for sending us the music, we would totally prefer a CD in the mail. Send to:
EIGHT-TRACKS
P.O. Box 540571
Orlando FL 32854 USA
Please contact us beforehand by e-mail to let us know you're sending us music by clicking
HERE.
Please don't put more than 3 songs on your CD. If we want to hear more then we will let you know.
You may direct us to your MySpace page to preview music but, honestly, those players never really work right in our browser so chances are we won't be able to listen. Even if we do get the MySpace music player to work we will be listening through crappy laptop speakers which won't represent your music well. It's really best to send a CD.
You can also
e-mail us links to downloadable MP3s. We can listen to those, but only send links to 2 or 3 songs at a time. And even though MP3s are acceptable : yes, we still prefer a CD.
Please don't barrage us with "have you listened to it yet?" messages. We can sometimes be slow, but we will eventually get back to you.
Let us know if you have any questions ...
ADDENDUM: You are also more than welcome to send us tracks via our SoundCloud dropbox by clicking the box below. Again, please send us an e-mail to let us know you've uploaded a track by clicking
