Deformat Compilation With Open Submissions
Deformat Compilation with open submissions.
Songs in the key of OLD SKOOL breakcore.
Deformat is looking for YOUR submissions.
What is it?
We are looking for songs/tracks that embrace the roots style and sound of breakcore. The original… the abrasive, the jarring, and the anti-commercial sonic assault that was 90s-00s breakcore.
Oldschool rave stabs, oldschool rap samples, amen breaks, gabber bass? Hell yeah, let’s really get oldskool with it.
How will it be released?
This will be a free compilation on the Deformat Bandcamp.
Plans to release on Subvert down the road, perhaps, but otherwise that.
How long should it be?
Between 2- 6 minutes? Somewhere like that. Some exceptions allowed, but please try for that.
When Is This Happening?
Submissions will take place through the month of August. Release will be planned around the start of school (skool). Get it? That is kinda a play on words… pretty clever, huh?
Look, I know that it isn’t that clever… but that is what is happening, deal with it, or just send me hate mail, homophobic comments, despair, like the last time… it genuinely cracked me up how much hate I got last time!
What If My Track Is Not Accepted?
Please do not take it personally. Not everything will fit the compilation stylistically, and sometimes audio quality or other technical limitations may make a track difficult to include.
I cannot guarantee placement if I do not feel a submission reaches the level of quality, effort, or fit needed for the release.
How and what to submit?
PLEASE… Submit:
Audio in WAV 24-bit, 48k
Text file with: social links, IG name, YouTube channel, etc. Any and all information you want to be included and credited for. Correct artist spelling, etc. Just please do this to make my life easier.
TEXT FILES are plain text, .txt, dot text…
Put this all in a Google Drive, make it shareable, get the link, and email it to:
deformat@deformatrecords.com
Sending a poke to me on Instagram (@wolfmerrik) would be a nice reminder, too.
WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHTS, MAN?
The track is and forever will be yours; Deformat does not own it, the artist does. If you want to release it anywhere else, you don’t have to worry about it.
The song is yours; you are just permitting Deformat to use this track on their compilation, for promotional material, for mixes, and for Deformat to release, etc.
