I'm enjoying your transition to EDM. Welcome to the gang, boss 👀
for real, it’s good to see some more creative on this channel
agreed
massive bro congrats
i got paid by UMG before. One of their artists found one of my beats on CZcams 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!
What was the song and artist?
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.
Not just the big 3 but a good stack of the indies too. Or you just never get paid.... im on a compilation from a big indie in the DnB space ive never see a £0.01 on. Also had some mad low ball offers, where its just like "il DIY this thanks"
man love to see your evolution in music. these dance tracks you've been making are really good
4:03 is a BANGER
his best one so far!!!
legit fire!
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 😊😊
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 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very encouraging video. Excited for more content!
HUGE! Even more HUGE with the surprise at the end.
yea man your tracks are 🔥 using the plugin span is your best friend at getting a good mix, visually it helps so much
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. 😊🤗
Congratulations Ocean, this is great news and a good achievement.
Congratulations Ocean 🎉😊
Good luck you got this!
You got this ocean! I believed in you since day one of the channel!
I happy for u, ur beats r so good. I wish u da best
Leeets fuckin goo Ocean, your music speaks for itself. No surprise that you find success. Dope video man
Beautiful video as always❤️
Congratulations!! I think it helps that you have a large following on social media for sure
well done gratz you bought the ticket - now take the ride
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Great video Ocean
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🔥
that first track you're showing us sounds really good, I would totally play that in a ukg/2step set
Pretty dope that 3rd track!
Congratulations. Great video.
Ocean artist era let's goooo
I like this guy. Subscribed!
Dope to see you pursue music as an artist!🔥 And have you considered the VSX headphones for mixing? They’re amazing
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!
Goat💯💛
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.
4:00 go craaazy
NICE!! 🎉
What an absolute G
Blessings bri
As u said, everything sounds good on paper.
It would surprise me if it was used as a sample but the bass reminded me of cluekid hovercraft
whats the deal with the mic ocean the quality been going down each video
I think it’s the new studio he’s in. Very echoey in there, he should throw some sound deadening up on the walls
edit: okay I got half way through the video and he did mention that already 😂
Whoah .. Ocean where's the dreadlocks??😊
Super cool! If you only sent one track to each label how did you decide which track to send
u be sending emails like those ppl who charges u 50 bucks for fake placement
Going to ADE as well later this year!
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.
2:36 I feel the exact same way 😭
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)
Hey bro have you ever thought about using pinknoise to use to mix down with?
where could we get the label contact sheet ocean? :) 👀
To make this challenge more real you should make a new SC page to simulate new artist
that sample came from smwhre i dont know kkkk
❤
EDM gang rise up!!!! Been in the game since 2008! 😊😊😊
How much did they sign the record for?
the „timing not being right“ is also just another way for a label to say they’re not interested btw
3:30 I need that sample 🔥🔥
What is the email tool?
What is that google tool?👀
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
If they only sign your TRACK(S), you're not signed to the label per-se
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.
your mic is backwards
Hey bro you looking for vocalists?
See ya at ADE. I am gonna be also there
Congrats. You have to leverage your 500k subs channel in the cold email, it will probably get a better response rate
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
Chat gpt is genius💯❤️
Fr! Super powerful
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.
whats the name of this email tracking thing?
Mailtrack
@@prodbyocean thx bro!
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
So these DJs playing arenas didn’t make the songs?
Not all of them, fred again’s probably an exception but DJs play a lotta music so they sometimes ask ppl for their music to put together a set from
@@3BeatsProd see I understand if Shaq does that but like danger mouse? Or Steve Steve Aoki types.?
Ditch the rap and go to edm
Still prefer your drill/trap beats.
Now they have ai n won’t need anyone that doesn’t have 492k followers
Go see when DEADMAU5 go Live and listen to music. . I seen him sign artists right there and don't give a sh1t 😅
Any EDM producer looking for a rapper hit me up 😊😊😊
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
