What’s up iStandardProducers.com?

It’s been a minute, but have no feat, I have returned! Hope everyone on the East Coast is staying cool in this incessant heat; this is the perfect time to lock yourself in the studio, put the A.C on blast, and bang out some tracks.

I recently got some really exciting news from producers and A&R’s all giving iStandard praise. Check it out.

Christina PrinceChristina Prince – Virgin Records“I got some really hot tracks submitted. I actually started sorting to send to other projects I know about and even found some to send to UK for Lily Allen. Wish me luck. So thanks for posting. I will keep you all posted if something hits. You guys have been amazing. I have a few artists I am bringing to the label in hopes they will get picked up so will definitely be in touch with new acts to post.”

Riggs & CoRiggs Morales – Shady/Aftermath A&R“STS is working on an various projects in need of production. Let’s roll…also, July 8th is deadline for EP, i know it’s too soon, but they’ll ALL def be heard.”


Sha Stimuli
Sha Stimuli – Recording Artist“Yooo yea I still need joints, I was going thru the last batch we setup a few days ago. I got thru about 60 of em and found a few.”

G Rocka – iStandard Producerhttp://www.istandardproducers.com/members/3775/ –  http://blog.istandardproducers.com/2010/04/istandard-interview-with-g-rocka-la-winner/ –  “Cashis responded to the tracks i sent in, he said to resend him the first one because for some reason he couldn’t open it and to resend him the second one with no hook so he could write to it!  Also Sonyae Elise responded saying she was going to vibe out to one i sent and see if she can come up with anything”.


Mickey MixMickey Mix – iStandard Producerhttp://www.istandardproducers.com/members/409/ –  http://blog.istandardproducers.com/2009/07/winner-of-fabio-musta-remix-competition-mickey-mix/ –  “I’ve heard back from a handful of A&R’s, but I haven’t been able to seal the deal. Over the past year or so, I’ve received emails from people representing Soulja Boy, Slim Thug, Pitbull, Big Drawz, and Swazy Baby. Most recently, Vakseen from Slip N Slide records sent me info on an opportunity called SNS On Da Grind.”

EQExchange

http://blog.istandardproducers.com/2010/05/istandard-member-i-d-features-equivalent-exchange/ Dart messaged my manager on Twitter letting him know that he and CA$HIS both like the beat “Can’t Say” that was in the catalog on my iStandardproducers member page.  Dart told my manager to submit the beat “Can’t Say” in the Placement Opps and I immediately arranged and remixed the beat and sent it.  CA$HIS sent me a message telling me he thought the snare would sound better if it was pitched up a little so I went back

and pitched the snare up and sent the beat back through the Placement Opps.  CA$HIS then sent me a message that said ” PERFECT.  Keep u posted G”.  Needless to say I am very excited and I’m hoping for the best.  Thank you Frankie and the whole iStandardproducers team for this huge opportunity!  Hope all is well.”

What’s Happening?
We write to you with much excitement today, as the iStandard Producer Showcase – NYC Style has found a new home…

Webster Hall was originally built in 1886 by architect Charles Rentz and quickly became the country’s first modern nightclub. It was a place where one could witness figures such as Emma Goldman herald the cause of free love and birth control on one night and, on the next night, see the refined atmosphere and grace of a society function celebrating New York’s elite.

Now, the world’s elite producer event makes it’s debut tonight and tomorrow night, June 1st (in the Balcony Lounge @ Webster Hall) & 2nd (in the Studio @ Webster Hall), respectively.

The music industry’s finest will be on hand, as tonight (6/1) we go “Behind the Rhymes” with former G-Unit President & Co-Founder, and newly appointed Senior VP of A&R at Island / Def Jam, SHA MONEY XL.  Plus, the judge panels will include the likes of Dre McKenzie, Director of A&R at G-Unit Records, Milwaukee Buck of The Inc., Christina Prince of Virgin Records, as well as producers Ayatollah, Doc Ish, and more

Plus, Blue Mics will be in the building showing their impressive line of product, as well as Steiner Sports, where they will hold a silent auction with memorabilia from Jay-Z, Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning and more.  All proceeds will go towards The American Liver Foundation and The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

Any past producers that have participated in our events are free at the door, as well as iStandardProducers.com members.  For guest list, please contact J Hatch HERE
