So, The record label finally signed us up

[splat]

And we're officially all over the interwebz. They listed us on beatport, which I guess is a big thing. And we get paid.
Thanks to pegleg for tweaking the contract they sent us and making sure we get paid and retain rights to our stuff.
So here's the beatport link and there's a soundcloud link for a free listen from the initial post I did.
This was only the fourth sing we did and now we'll release a bunch more.

"Featuring Splat" ha, nice! Congrats.

[Core Shot]

Lame trance beat with murmurdered vocals

Sweet

PS, it’s not a “record label” if you don’t press vinyl

[splat]

Hey Core Shot - here's some clear lyrics for you -

If I wanna hear from an asshole, I'll fart.

You already did hear it. On the master mix tape

Maybe you and musk can tour together

[splat]

Lol. I just had to say that cause you've come back to board as some kind of Tourettes-afflicted dickhead.
Glad to hear you're an EDM guru.

[danmelon]

nice. good for you guys for gettin tunes heard. Although when i see the words 'big fun' and techno music Detroit is all i think of

[splat]

Yeah, it's leaning toward more deep house. Chris tags the listings with multiple styles cause he does a diverse mix.
I really like his Chicago Boat Party set at the bottom of those cuts.
Now we have a German label that wants some other stuff we did.
fkna.

[splat]

So we were number 3 on the labels chart and got included in this guy's mix at number 11. I hope he sells a shitload

[frorider]

Was wondering what came of that, glad it’s working out Splat

[detrusor]

Please tell me if you get asked to perform by the German label you’ll all dress as deeter

Germans pulled out last minute. Dammit.
Actually, we have our buddy, John, who looks like a black Rastafarian, to play any gigs we might get offered.
He has a look we couldn't quite achieve, no matter how hard we'd try.

[Tippster]

Nice work, Splat!

[splat]

I heard we're big in Miami....

[sb]

Rock it BRO!

[splat]

The coolest part of this one song Big Fun that got picked up is that I wrote the lyrics for that in a masters level creative writing class at the University of Idaho in March, 1975 and still have my notebook I wrote it in with the date on it.

[Game Over]

Nice.

I sold a few songs back in the day. Most successful one had lyrics from a poem I wrote in the 3rd grade.

[ill-advised strategy]

Sweet!
Attaway man

[Vets]

I just gave these tracks another listen.
Expired Plates is my favorite.

[splat]

Ha! Vets, Expired Plates just got picked up by a label offering us a 50/50 split on plays on Spotify, etc.

[splat]

So the Germans circled back and picked up Expired Plates, then I rewrote the lyrics to San Francisco's Deep Sand just yesterday because I didn't like the way the words played out but absolutely love what Chris did on the beats - only to get an offer from a label in Spain for it before the lyrics even got changed. We've just been fuckin around but we seem to have created a niche for my words and Chris's music intersecting at a void that existed for beat poetry and techno/house that just might bring in some serial cashish at some point as we continue.

[St. Jerry]

Any groupies yet? That is a trip report i would like to read.

[Mike Pow]

Noice Pat

[splat]

One groupie so far. Her name is Molly. heh.
So our new label has Pitbull, which I guess is good.
Here's a vid about the label that anyone who's spent time south of the border might appreciate for the Spanish TV ad sound it has.

[schindlerpiste]

Looks like those royalty checks will be rolling in, brah!
