Beats and samples, ready to use
Anyone with a lyric, a voice or an idea and nothing underneath it — and no time or budget to grow a track from nothing.
What they are
Finished instrumentals and sets of sounds built while working on something else, which stand up on their own. They are not offcuts: they are pieces that never found a voice.
How you listen
You hear all of them, in full, before deciding anything. A catalogue that plays twenty seconds is selling the wait, not the music.
The catalogue lives on an external shop, and that is not a shortcut: selling music means a basket, payments, licences and receipts, which is a piece of software somebody has to keep standing. This site is made of files and has no server — putting a shop inside it would be the worst thing you could ask of it.
Exclusivity
A non-exclusive track can end up under more than one voice, and that deserves to be said in advance — it is the thing catalogues put at the bottom, in small type, when they put it anywhere.
With exclusivity the track leaves the catalogue and does not come back.
