Hi,
I am an electronic dance music producer and have a project studio close to the city.
I have a number of tracks released with dance labels abroad and I am looking to collaborate with a vocalist male or female with the possibility of releasing tracks.
Releasing tracks with labels usually means royalties and % on sales via sites like beatport.com
The style of music I am producing is mostly Trance and Progressive.
If you are familiar with the following artists then you are in the right page:
armin van buuren, paul van dyk, above and beyond, oceanlab, tiesto, ferry corsten, motorcycle, dash berlin, tritonal, Cerf Mitiska & Jaren.
If you are not familiar with these artists please do not respond to this posting.
I am looking to collaborate with a vocalist that loves and has passion for electronic dance music.
Before you reply to this ad please have a listen at the following tracks, to get an idea of exactly the style we will be working on.

The collaboration could be remote or we could record in my studio.
Remote collaboration implies that you have some experience with recording software and you have proper interface and microphone. You don’t need to have expensive equipment and I can always provide guidelines on what to get to do proper recordings.
I am open in producing/remixing your own melodies/tracks and also working on my ideas. Over the years I found that a good approach is making new songs is when we are in the studio and the vocalist follows the lead of some chord progressions on the piano. Kind of like musical brainstorming.
Please follow these guidelines to send me a demo of you singing.
1. The demo does not have to be of great recording quality. A talented vocalist can shine even when the recording is bad.
2. I prefer recordings where there is only voice (ie acapella)
3. I prefer recordings without effects (dry) but if you have something that is already produced it is ok.
4. If you have musical education is a plus but not a must. (ie knowing how to play an instrument or took vocal lessons, know what singing on the right pitch means)
5. If you are not into trance and progressive then probably we will not be a good team.
6. Preferably, try to record on of the tracks above on your pc/mac make it an mp3 and send me a demo. Don’t worry about the quality of the recording.
7. Demos do not have to be long, ie 30 sec -1 min long.
8. Write a couple but no more, lines about yourself.
9. You can send me mp3s or links to download your tracks.
10. Here are is a link to a vocal I downloaded from the internet and a processed version of it. In the zip file you will find two mp3s, unprocessed which is the original file I downloaded and the processed with the type of processing that can be done in less than 30 seconds in a studio.
paste this link in your browser:

11. Pay attention to singing on the right pitch, good vibrato, phrasing (keep those long vowels at the end of the phrase) and expression.
Looking forward for your reply!
Thank you for reading.
