Serotonin Records is releasing a third Loops compilation in the fall. We're currently collecting material. In addition to some well-known names we are also interested in looking for new artists/producers to participate in the Loops series. Here's the vital info you need to make your loops: Rhythmic loops at 4/4 must be at 133.333 bpm (it's ok if the resolution of your clock doesn't go 3 decimals, 133 is fine). It is possible to work out other tempos and time signatures. For example, 7/8 is 233.333 bpm. Another way to look at it is the measure must be no longer than 1.27 seconds, so whatever you do that fits within that length will loop. Please record loops on DAT, CD or MD. If you absolutely have no access to digital media, then a cassette is ok, just try and get the cleanest and clearest recording you can. Let each loop run for aprox. 30 seconds. We expect many submissions, so please don't make too many loops. 2-3 is best, up to 5 is ok. Pick your best. This time we aren't accepting loops with steady 4/4 kick drums, rhythms should be funky, syncopated, experimental. Dancefloor loops should be in the electro and funk direction. Non-rhythmic loops, sound effects, vocal samples, anything you want, the freakier the better. Just no boom boom boom boom. Our original deadline for the new loops was the end of July, but things are running a bit slower than expected so there is more time. I'll post again soon with a new deadline, for now please send them at your earliest convenience. Our address: Serotonin Records PO Box 510 Prince Street Station New York, NY 10012 Please include all your contact info along with the loops. Those that are chosen will be notified and given more info on how the whole deal works. let's get loopy! cheers, John Selway
