I'm enjoying your transition to EDM. Welcome to the gang, boss 👀

4:03 is a BANGER

i got paid by UMG before. One of their artists found one of my beats on KZfaq and they wanted the exclusive rights to it. I sold 100% of those exclusive rights to them for $2000 and it took almost 7 months to get my payment… that was fucking annoying… but yeah…Good luck with that contract Ocean!

Sad to say that's not true. As a "Dance" music producer myself, any of the Big three will shaft you the same as a rapper. The way to do it if you wanna go that route is use a publisher. If you wanna be a Producer/DJ in Dance music, you need to find the record labels that aren't massive, but will give you the exposure you need, and also support you as an artist. I have music coming out on a new underground DnB label and they've already sorted me out multiple gigs to get my name out there.

man love to see your evolution in music. these dance tracks you've been making are really good

yea man your tracks are 🔥 using the plugin span is your best friend at getting a good mix, visually it helps so much

Huhuu nice! congrats! hope you have a good catch with the label and we can soon hear some more sweet and bouncy tunes like these in this video 😊😊

Very encouraging video. Excited for more content!

I love that for you Ocean. Keep on soaring hugher. My mum tells me the sky ain't the limit so keep on aiming higher. 😊🤗

Fantabulous! I'm delighted to hear the news about your connection to a recording label.

Man that’s awesome. Congratulations 🎉❤

This is huge bruh make it happen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You got this ocean! I believed in you since day one of the channel!

HUGE! Even more HUGE with the surprise at the end.

Congratulations Ocean, this is great news and a good achievement.

that first track you're showing us sounds really good, I would totally play that in a ukg/2step set

Congratulations!! I think it helps that you have a large following on social media for sure

Absolutely love these tracks, these would sound even better with some vocals, i would definitely listen without, but more likely to go viral with more vocals Much love, been following you couple years now, you really opened my eyes with what is possible as a producer🔥

Leeets fuckin goo Ocean, your music speaks for itself. No surprise that you find success. Dope video man

I happy for u, ur beats r so good. I wish u da best

Congratulations Ocean 🎉😊

To answer that "5 minute beat thing", music works the same way as conversation. When having a conversation , just like when listening to music , our brain waves start to align based on how focused, how much we "relate", and how long the conversation lasts. When you spend a hours on music, beats especially, you run the risk of making it more like a specialized, in depth conversation so to speak. When you spend 5 minutes it's more "vague" allowing more people to "understand" the conversation your having musically.

Good luck you got this!

Ocean love these new vids man congrats on getting interest from labels 🙏 Would you consider doing a 30 min vid about producing house/edm for people that started with trap beats? I especially struggle with structure, stuff like effective risers, downlifters, shakers and just good movement in general. Way more difficult than rap to keep the listener invested.

Congrats on getting your track signed! Once you release on a label a ton more would come. One advice, when sending demos to labels, instead of putting (Demo) on the tittle u should put (Label name). It looks more personal. Good luck!

Beautiful video as always❤️

Congratulations. Great video.

well done gratz you bought the ticket - now take the ride

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Pretty dope that 3rd track!

Goat💯💛

I like this guy. Subscribed!

Cool video and cool tracks! Very curious as to what labels you send it to. I think the sound of the tracks you played in the video kinda match the vibe of Diynamic (label co-founded by Solomun) Keep us posted of any releases! :)

Ocean artist era let's goooo

4:00 go craaazy

What an absolute G

As u said, everything sounds good on paper.

The track at 4:00 is the way forward. Keep it vibing, add different textures and layers, and make it so the listener can go on a listening journey.

Super cool! If you only sent one track to each label how did you decide which track to send

Hey bro have you ever thought about using pinknoise to use to mix down with?

NICE!! 🎉

Going to ADE as well later this year!

I just sent songs to labels and just gor my first song signed to an label which is releasing 1st of November (its a pretty big label)

where could we get the label contact sheet ocean? :) 👀

whats the deal with the mic ocean the quality been going down each video

To make this challenge more real you should make a new SC page to simulate new artist

the „timing not being right“ is also just another way for a label to say they’re not interested btw

2:36 I feel the exact same way 😭

yessssir i prod trap but ive been trying to prod edm more recently too. EDM is soooo much more better and harder to prod no one can disagree with that tbh

EDM gang rise up!!!! Been in the game since 2008! 😊😊😊

3:30 I need that sample 🔥🔥

❤

your mic is backwards

What is the email tool?

How much did they sign the record for?

What is that google tool?👀

Congrats. You have to leverage your 500k subs channel in the cold email, it will probably get a better response rate

that sample came from smwhre i dont know kkkk

Hey bro you looking for vocalists?

A quick look at the labels you sent your demos to it seems that your music is quite a way off for what some of these labels ate looking for. As great as a producer that you are you can actually hear that you lack deeper experience and understanding in certain house genres. None of what you showed here I would ever send to the famous Drumcode label for instance, it's just not techno enough and a waste of time. To understand what that label needs you need to understand where it's coming from and I suggest you start by listening to some Adam Beyer records from the nineties. This guy and his label basically popularized the rolling kick that's signature of the techno sound. To even get a better understanding of what these labels need I suggest you take the train/plane to Berlin after ADE and visit famous clubs like Berghain and Tresor, feel the atmosphere, and maybe THEN you start to understand what to make for this label. In conclusion Having been an A&R manager of 5 house labels myself, I'm convinced that your bird shot approach of just spamming to major house labels and see what sticks is a complete waste of time. If you're lacking the personal connections then it becomes all the more important to do your homework properly for a label and actually be a genuine fan.

See ya at ADE. I am gonna be also there

Chat gpt is genius💯❤️

Hey Ocean! I emailed you to ask if you can make some melody for my acapella french song, I never got an answer... Serious inquiry from NYC. Work for hire

ok so you will be making a bit of cash from the track that got signed, its true what your saying I can't really remember what you started of saying now but its true I have had two different types of opportunities with the uk label called polypor records with the A&R called ben palmer he's know longer there my second opportunity was with my own instrumental productions and what he said was they are good but the will not know how to market it because at the time a lot of what they call urban music was very new at the time. The other opportunity which I had I got turned down because I was asked if I could make uk garage I said no but you guys can teach me I never got a call back

whats the name of this email tracking thing?

So these DJs playing arenas didn’t make the songs?

Now they have ai n won’t need anyone that doesn’t have 492k followers

Any EDM producer looking for a rapper hit me up 😊😊😊

Go see when DEADMAU5 go Live and listen to music. . I seen him sign artists right there and don't give a sh1t 😅

Im pretty much on the same wave with a background in the hiphop scene since 05 now I’m joining the electric scene

Ocean, find what music fits you.. Don't lose yourself
