DEAF Music 2008 CD Music Callout – June 2009
DEAF returns once again in 2009, with a stellar line-up of local and international talent set to perform across the city over the last ten days of October.
While Dublin’s more experimental club nights have undoubtedly struggled somewhat in recent years, there’s been a notable increase in the quality of the productions emerging from the studios of Irish producers. Thus for 2009, in association Culture Ireland with we’re putting together another 32-track double CD intended to showcase the best in new electronic music from Irish artists.
The CD will be distributed free at the press launch for the festival in September 2009, which is set to take place at the Sugar Club in Dublin. It will also be handed out free of charge at select DEAF events over the course of this years festival.
We’ll also be promoting it to the Irish and international press as part of our marketing campaign for this year’s festival. The CD will also be used by Culture Ireland to promote Irish Electronic music overseas.
We want this compilation to represent the best of what’s out there right now, and we hope to feature work contributed by both established names and relative unknowns. Any style or genre of electronic music can be submitted, but tracks cannot be longer than 4 minutes (edits of longer pre-existing pieces are acceptable). Only one track can be submitted per artist name; however, you may submit any number of tracks as long as each is credited to a different pseudonym.
If your music is selected for inclusion, we’ll require you to provide a high resolution photograph (representing the artist), along with a brief biography for use in our promotional material.
Entries can be submitted by post [on CD] or via download links.
All CDs should be posted to the address below. The closing date for submissions is Monday August 3rd 2009.
