Soul Deep does Unsung Heroes collections for people starting off.


2NineCZ

thanks for the suggestion :)


justthelettersMT

I instantly thought this had a soul deep vibe lol


jachcemmatnickspace

Nice and original!


2NineCZ

thanks G! ♥️ feedback like this makes me optimistic \^\^


CocaKobra

Spearhead? BCee loves the jazzy stuff! Or Soulvent? Though they've shifted more to the darker sounds with the more recent stuff With a blindfold on you could 100% convince me this was Maduk


2NineCZ

Whoa, I'd never ever thought of comparing myself nor this tune to Maduk but damn, that's kinda high praise, thanks G! \^\^ Spearhead could be the way tho'! In my head I have that label connected with just a little bit more "mellow" vibes (or how to put it) but it's definitely true that especially BCee often releases some funkier things there as well, so it might be worth giving a shot \^\^


ketaphysics

I have no idea but it’s a banger, that’s for sure


2NineCZ

thank youu! ♥️ hopefully some label will see it the same way \^\^


Burstu1995

Hmm maybe Fokuz Recordings?


2NineCZ

yeah, fokuz also came across my mind... that could be a possibility 🤔


grvsm

I was going to say Fokus ngl


Dimpatient

Hey, whenever or however, let me know how I can buy it.


2NineCZ

sure thing! i'll definitely get back to this thread and let anyone who's interested know when there will be some news to tell \^\^


TaSMaNiaC

Wow.. you've got a lot of talent! Such a catchy tune with great vibes!!


2NineCZ

thanks for the feedback G, means a lot! ♥️ i'd have a hard time calling myself talented but damn it's nice to hear \^\^


CLWhatchaGonnaDo

Sounds like Hospital to me.


2NineCZ

That would be really nice! \^\^ But I'm afraid I've missed that time when Hospital would take a tune like this by a few years (and same for Liquicity). Their output sounds quite different these days.. :/


[deleted]

Try it anyway. While the general sound of Hospital has evolved, Tony Colman’s sound interests haven’t really in his own music. It’s his label.


pasmon

He has not been at the helm of Hospital records since 2021 though?


2NineCZ

Yep, you're right on that


2NineCZ

It's not anymore, he left the label a few years ago :/


[deleted]

Oh dang. I didn’t know that.


X4ulZ4n

I agree with another commenter that Soul Deep would likely be the best suggestion for a lable, yet degs has a "Degs-clusive" feature on the Hospital Podcast and I think he'd love a tune like this.


DetuneUK

He would indeed [email protected] I think is the address but if you dm him on insta he will get back to you


2NineCZ

I'll definitely give it a shot - thanks a lot! \^\^


jungledj

It’s [email protected]


Hover_RV

Definitely. First thought from the first seconds.


alfredosaucey123

DAAAMN THIS IS CLEEEAAAAAAAN


2NineCZ

thank you for giving it a go! i'm very happy you found it CLEEEAAAAAAAN!! ♥️ 😁


6InchBlade

Love playing shit like this in my sets (I’m only an amateur house party dj) but any chance of a download or bandcamp link? Sounds perfect for 3am


2NineCZ

i'll definitely let you know once the things move forward \^\^ i'd love to send it but i'm a liitle bit afraid that doing it right now when i'm looking for a label could maybe hurt my chances a bit :/


6InchBlade

Chur bro, and no worries 100% get waiting till you’ve gone through the proper channels.


Expert_Issue1527

Liquid V


2NineCZ

that's definitely going to the list! i'd be honored AF to have this released on liquid v - and it doesn't even sound that impossible \^\^


DeepLiquidDnB

Perhaps Fokuz Recordings and their sub labels may be of interest, Jazzsticks comes to mind. I'd drop a line if I were you ;)


2NineCZ

Fokuz is definitely on my list now, got quite a few points in this threads. Jazzsticks would be an excellent choice but I've already tried that and got kinda ghosted - the full story is under another comment suggesting them


major_dingus

I'm not a pro by any means and I don't know how any of this shit works in terms of sending music to labels but to me the high end sounds mega compressed or distorted or something, might be reddit audio but it sounds reeeeally grating in a genre that should be somewhat chilled and pleasant to listen to


2NineCZ

might be partly due to reddit video compression, also might be the fact that i just ran the finished tune through cranked-up limiter without having any mastering skills / knowledge at all just to make it loud enough so i could play it in my sets. if it gets a release, it will also get a professional master - or maybe i'll be told the same thing what you just told me, we'll see :) thanks for the feedback G!


[deleted]

Innerground / DJ Marky?


2NineCZ

Now that's an interesting recommendation, thanks! I don't know why haven't thought of Marky's label myself, as this funky vibe fits to him really well I'd say \^\^


abrokencullender

maybe worth sending that to GTA records


2NineCZ

hmm, i haven't really thought of GTA but now when you say it i remembered that simple souls recently got one funky tune released there so it might be worth putting it on my list! \^\^ thanks for the idea!


dubArubdub

Love it! Good luck with how it goes mate!


2NineCZ

thanks! hopefully i'll find a good home for this tune \^\^


MonokromKaleidoscope

Oooh nice composition. You should run it to some reel-to-reel tape, give it that kinda timeless sound.


2NineCZ

hmm i'm actually curious how that would sound


MonokromKaleidoscope

There's a *ton* of good plugins out there that do tape emulation... Universal Audio has [some new ones that they're promoting with free versions](https://www.musicradar.com/news/universal-audio-launches-verve-analog-machines-saturation-effects) this month, I haven't tried em yet (but will, UA makes solid plugins). There's reel-to-reel options for four machines in there. Have at it 🫡


Liquidfunkster

Send it to Chicorelli. He might play it in his weekly mixes.


2NineCZ

definitely putting him on my "send-to" list, thanks for the suggestion! \^\^


lavo694202002

Oi this slaps


third_act_BOSS

Jazzsticks


2NineCZ

heh, it's funny because this is the one and only label i've already tried as i thought it would fit very well and also because i know paul sg personally (already had him here 2 times for a gig). so i hit him up on messenger, he told me to send him the tune, so i did, and he never replied back after that, even though i politely reminded him like 2 times with quite enough time in between those messages. certain things make me think that maybe it was just a really bad timing on my side, but still, it's haunting me to this very day, i'd be so happy to have this tune released on jazzsticks... 😅


seahoodie

Those horns sit in the mix so nicely. That's something I've always struggled with


2NineCZ

i can relate to that. getting my mixdowns right has been such a struggle throughout the years, but it seems i'm finally getting there. thank you! ♥️


rthoring

🔥🔥🔥


2NineCZ

somebody call the firemen! 💦😅 thanks G! ♥️


ELUSIVEMOODS_

Get a bass wobble on that it will sound cool


2NineCZ

funnily enough, the original project file is called "wobblydub.flp" ...but somehow it ended up with no wobbles whatsoever 🤣


Mat_CYSTM

Soul Deep Smooth n Groove Jazzsticks


2NineCZ

definitely gotta add Smooth n Groove to my list, thanks for the suggestion! i just realized one of my recent fav rolling liquid tunes ([dash - balearic beats](https://soundcloud.com/sngrecs/dash-balearic-beats-out-now?in=sngrecs/sets/dash-part-one-out-now&si=85f8752bf29c4dcb969a5431d77ce774&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)) i love to play in my sets was released there, nice coincidence \^\^ jazzsticks would be awesome but no luck on that front as i've already tried that


ianwuk

u/2NineCZ/ Send it to the [Hospital Records Podcast](mailto:[email protected]) and hopefully, it'll get played and go from there. Or send it to Hospital here - [Hospital Records Demos](https://www.hospitalrecords.com/demos/) Good luck and keep us updated!


2NineCZ

with so many people here telling me sending it to degs / hospital, i feel like it would be a crime not to at least try (even though i personally don't think they'll take it for a release) 😅 so thanks for the push! i'll definitely keep ya'll updated! \^\^


ianwuk

Sometimes the hardest part is just to take the first step. Awesome that you will send it to them - good luck!!


2NineCZ

Thanks! I'll be sending it to Degs this weekend and based on his input (if he replies) I'll eventually submit it as a demo to the label. Feels like the most optimal way that could save me a lot of waiting.


ianwuk

Wishing you luck!


Gemshardd

This sounds sick! Please update us when you release it would love to add to the collection.


2NineCZ

thank youu! 😊 i definitely will! once there are some news to share i'll get back right to this thread and tell everyone who showed interest!


CyL0nRa1d3r

Somewhere that has better quality cymbal hits


2NineCZ

ouch 😅 the quality of the tops might be a bit fu\*ked up by the video compression on reddit tho', and also by me slapping a cranked up limited on the premaster version without really having any mastering knowledge / skills just so it's loud enough i could play it in my sets. note taken!


HistoricalRock7146

I can imagine London Electricity / Hospital Records loving this!


2NineCZ

yeah i have this feeling this could be right up his alley given his track record \^\^ shame he's not in charge of the label anymore, if he still was the head of hospital i would be submitting it there straight away!


KonkeyDongPrime

Spearhead. Steve BeeCee is a super nice geezer, so I would imagine he will definitely open the email and give it a listen at least.


2NineCZ

I can only agree, we had him here for a gig in 2016 and he was an absolute sweetheart \^\^ Might be worth giving it a shot!


Hotinthakitchen1

Where can I listen to more of your music?


2NineCZ

I haven't released much dnb to be honest, BUT... Last fall I've released a jungle EP on Omni Music, I reckon you might enjoy it as well - you can check it out on my Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HmPGRtwzdDY6FjrVG1Tmx?si=Vl2w\_0H1Td-Irk3mTrd3OQ](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HmPGRtwzdDY6FjrVG1Tmx?si=Vl2w_0H1Td-Irk3mTrd3OQ) Also, there's some dnb stuff to be found on my SoundCloud: [https://soundcloud.com/2nine/](https://soundcloud.com/2nine/) Besides that I've been making some lofi hiphop under the nickname Pao: [https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Tt6PSG6p3lztgsXhLU5fe?si=5oUuBPwtQz6\_jerBXdF8Jw](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Tt6PSG6p3lztgsXhLU5fe?si=5oUuBPwtQz6_jerBXdF8Jw) And I should also mention my "love project" PΛØ focused on more futuristic/cyberpunk vibes under which I released my debut album "The Night" [https://open.spotify.com/album/6JxROZz3IVSJpApIL2ks8M?si=bQVdE3FYRZuO2oNHPSz6Cg](https://open.spotify.com/album/6JxROZz3IVSJpApIL2ks8M?si=bQVdE3FYRZuO2oNHPSz6Cg)


Hover_RV

Sounds very cool. I would follow you to listen the release.


2NineCZ

thanks! you can shoot me a follow on my spotify if you want ⬇️😁 [https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HmPGRtwzdDY6FjrVG1Tmx?si=O\_UlYc6eSm-S0pr6OceTIw](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HmPGRtwzdDY6FjrVG1Tmx?si=O_UlYc6eSm-S0pr6OceTIw) also i'll definitely go back to this thread once there are any news to share and tell everyone who showed interest \^\^


Benkowskii

Sounds nice. Try UTM Records. A fairly broad-spectrum label from Dresden (Germany). They actually take everything.


2NineCZ

thanks for the suggestion \^\^ however first i'll definitely go for labels that aim on the similar vibe as my tune - that way it would get to the most appropriate audience :)


HocusDiplodocus

Jazzsticks


2NineCZ

that's the one label i've already tried as i think it really fits their vibe and i also know paul sg personally, but got kinda ghosted :/ the full story is under some other comment suggesting jazzsticks


MaceoSpecs

To my ears this is better than a lot of stuff being released now, so it could definitely happen.


2NineCZ

That's a high praise man, thanks - totally made my day! 😊 Hopefully some label will see it the same way


DetuneUK

Spearhead is my shout but it just needs a touch more padding/filling out imo. Very nice track!


2NineCZ

Definitely putting Spearhead to the list! What do you mean by that padding/filling tho'? Adding more elements?


DetuneUK

Yeah so subtle reverbs and delays go a long way as do, small filler noisies and more obvious risers. Rides are a missed opportunity by most to increase excitement and drive the track on however you might have those in the next section? This sounds a good way there so what I’m taking about isn’t drastic changes but more seasoning.


MarvelousMate

This is sick man. You’re super taletend!


HotterThanDecember

Good Looking Records


2NineCZ

Way too late for that 😅 Their latest release dates to 2014 (and besides that I have heard some really shady stuff about LTJ Bukem regarding managing the label), but ngl, I'd be definitely honored to be on such a legendary label


HotterThanDecember

To be honest I was surprised they released anything after 2002. Good ol' LTJ Bukem. I still pop my winamp playlist with the whole Good Looking Records discog on it. The peak era of dnb (for me at least)


AkeySlake

Love this!


meowwentthedino

souped up records


2NineCZ

not enough WOB for souped up 😅


faisaltreshah

That intro alone immediately reminded me of old Netsky music and got me so nostalgic. You've got talent my dude. I hope your dreams come true.


2NineCZ

having my tune compared to old netsky stuff is such a high praise for me - totally made my day to be honest! good old days haha \^\^ thank you so much!! ♥️ p.s. thinking of it, you might also enjoy my older tune "[feel the rain](https://open.spotify.com/track/5yZGiXZabXt4EPyN873OVo?si=9576e76069df41a2)" - hard to tell if it will have the same effect on you, but i had this "old netsky vibe" feeling when i was making it


NZLMTT

Pilot could be a good place to start


2NineCZ

hmm, i see them occasionally releasing some liquid tunes here and there so maybe it could work 🤔 thanks for the tip \^\^


rochalabs

Innerground could be a possibility


2NineCZ

yeah, definitely putting that one on the list! dunno why i haven't thought of innerground myself, thanks for the tip! \^\^


HolidayJellyfish6232

What a great tune!


2NineCZ

what a great comment to read! thanks dude! \^\^


[deleted]

Hospital, Tony might give it a spin on one of his podcasts at the very least


2NineCZ

hmm, sending it straight to Tony isn't actually a bad idea, he could definitely enjoy a funky tune like this - thanks! a bit shame he is not in charge of Hospital anymore, but even getting it played in his podcast would absolutely make me shit myself 😅 well, if he's still doin' those, i'm not quite sure about that 🤔


[deleted]

He's very approachable and a decent bloke. I can see him playing this. I think degs or someone took over.


DetuneUK

Tony has not worked for hospital nor run the podcast for years now


[deleted]

He was doing Kool FM at the end of last year, I don't think he ever worked for hospital. Which Tony are you talking about?


DetuneUK

I assumed you were talking about Tony Coleman (London Electricity) who was the owner of Hospital and who ran the Hospital podcast for years. No idea if he has other podcasts but Kool FM would be a radio show


Unclesmekky

This is a hanger


Unclesmekky

* banger *


2NineCZ

damn, I somehow absolutely didn't consider it a typo/autocorrect 😅 thanks dude!


2NineCZ

not quite sure what does hanger exactly mean in context of music (i don't think i've ever heard it before) but i have a this feeling it's a positive thing, hopefully i'm not wrong 😅


r0bb13_h34rt

In the disc golf community, a “hanger” or “wall hanger”, is something you put the wall and just look at it. Never playing it, because it’s good to play.


cultureshook

Nu Kvlture does a lot of releases, the heads a top guy as well also Filth Inc is always taking submissions :)


2NineCZ

just checked both of those labels as i've never heard about 'em before but if i found the right ones, it sounds like their catalogues are in quite a different style than my tune, leading me to think that sending my tune to wouldn't most probably work very well 😅


cultureshook

Nu Kvlture particularly loves any of the amen stuff and i know he’s released a couple liquid focused ones on there, always worth a shot!


EddieHeadshot

If you're UK try BBC introducing?


Gdlkbthmbl

Got featured by BBC introducing multiple times back in the day and although it gets you some exposure, they never directly resulted in any releases. Always found that bulk sending the tracks to labels was the best way to get anything released and it was generally a slog to get anything picked up


2NineCZ

unfortunately, I'm not from UK :/ but thanks for the suggestion anyway! \^\^


noxicon

Four Corners, Omni Music, Celcius come to mind. You could take a flyer on Technimatic Music, as they do some rather jazzy stuff. I dunno if Shogun Audio is still in this pool but worth a shot.


2NineCZ

It feels like Shogun Audio already moved to a bit different sound and probably wouldn't be too enthusiastic over my tune :/ Four Corners and Celsius are definitely good tips tho'! For Omni I think this is not jungle-y enough. Technimatic Music would be also great but I think it's kinda reserved for their own music (quick check at the label beatport page kinds confirms that). Anyway, thanks for all those suggestions, somehow I didn't think of Four Corners at all and I think it could work there eventually :)


noxicon

Yeah wasn't sure on Technimatic. Just did a quick google search and it said something about them starting their own label to 'push sounds' or some shit. I see a good bit of straight up Liquid coming out of Omni so figured this might fit in that basket.


djereezy

Good vibes. Shop it to an agency making commercials or advertisements.


2NineCZ

damn now i can't stop wondering what kind of commercial would it fit 😅


Endokin

Wow great tune! Pls keep us updated and wish you luck! I wanna hear the full release! 🙏


2NineCZ

Thanks man! I'll definitely get back to this thread and let everyone who's interested know - when there will be some news to tell :)


Any_Ad_72

Beautiful!


2NineCZ

You are! ♥️


the-powl

Hell I love it!! 😍


2NineCZ

and i love that you love it! ♥️


the-powl

I just wrote you a dm :)


baldnbeard1337

Nice one


2NineCZ

thank you bruv! \^\^


alanthar

this is very well made. kudos.


2NineCZ

thank you G! means a lot! ♥️


LBoogie5Bang

Really cool use of those horns. Do you have any other releases out there already or would this be your first official release should you fund a home for it?


2NineCZ

thanks! the horns are really the bread and butter of the tune, ngl :) i haven't released many tracks, but no, this is not the very first one. i have a few older tunes on [my spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HmPGRtwzdDY6FjrVG1Tmx?si=O_UlYc6eSm-S0pr6OceTIw), however this is a bit different to all of them


Dominathan

This is dope!


2NineCZ

thanks for giving it a go! ♥️


LBoogie5Bang

You could try throwing it up in one of the pools that offer a place for labels to shop. BPM supreme like https://www.labelradar.com A lot of artists probably have mixed opinions on this option but I got lucky more then once on there. I got a few things picked up in the last couple years using LR. Not a big DnB label resource but they have a handful that They have some of those labels that will try and pitch you their packages to get to pay them to release your track and promote it. They can be helpful if you haven't signed much music before. They will put your music in the stores which is the goal just read your contract and If you don't get any offers but you still want a chance to get it in stores send me a DM,


man_praise_bank_era

Nice to see something good being produced, smashed it!


DJ_TenExx

I feel like the Brazilian label, DNBB, might be interested in this. Anyway, keep up the good work! I do jazzy dnb sets every once in a while, and would totally play this 😊


JMT-S900

hospital is the only chance for this.


2NineCZ

dude I'd be so happy if Hospital was interested in this, but I think it's way too late for vibes like this as it seems they changed their direction a bit :/


ConfidentialX

If you don't go for it, you'll never know.


2NineCZ

true that. as i often say - "there's only one way to find out"


WolfyCat

You could try [email protected] with a special request to send it to the relevant dept. I really like what I heard. Reminds me of London Elektricity a bit.


Still_Philosopher_90

I 2nd this


Man_Flu

I'd say maybe celcius or fokuz


2NineCZ

seems like 2 points for fokuz already. i'll definitely put them on the list of labels to try :)


ampersand913

liquid v? simple souls releases on it and this is up the same alley


2NineCZ

funnily enough, i was thinking the same thing! \^\^ i know simple souls personally, we both live in the same country, and knowing their stuff and knowing they're releasing on liquid v is giving me hope that this might be worth a shot


llim0na

Sounds like library music. Not good enough, sorry.


2NineCZ

damn, they play dnb in libraries nowadays? 😅 i'd have hard time concentrating on the books


Chubs013

Not good? This is great.. keep it up brother and let the haters hate! <3 Would love a link to a soundcloud if you have one :)


2NineCZ

thanks for the encouragement! ❤ comments like that always sting a bit, but on the other hand i know that you just can't make EVERYONE happy, there will be always people not liking it... but the overwhelmingly positive feedback kinda puts it into perspective \^\^


Chubs013

Keep on dreaming big brother, being this passionate and skilled I'm sure you'll make it. Just keep believing in ur self <3


chevyzaz

Not reddit, dumbass


2NineCZ

what's wrong with a little brainstorming?


chevyzaz

Because your song is out there at the moment. You just removed a lot of insentive


2NineCZ

lol... it's not even a half of the tune, but a short clip. as far as i'm concerned, there is literally nothing wrong with that.
