Below is a list of faqs. If you can't
find an answer to your query here or elsewhere on
the website then please contact us.
WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC DOES BOLTFISH RELEASE?
Details of the Boltfish style are given in the
label page, but in short we consider electro,
idm, glitch,
electro-acoustic and some atmospheric compositions. If you're still uncertain,
listen to our previous releases - they'll give
you an idea.
IS BOLTFISH RECORDINGS SEEKING NEW ARTISTS?
We're always on the look out for new artists to add to our roster but we're often booked up for releases many months in advance. Send us a
demo according to our guidelines and if we like it we may just consider it
for release.
WHERE CAN I BUY BOLTFISH RELEASES?
All our releases are available
to buy (from this site, through some online and
real shops and via several digital download services such as Beatport.com). Physical releases are available as either CD-R or in some cases CD.
View the "shop" page for more details. We also
release some material via the Internet, free
of charge.
WHERE SHOULD I SEND MY DEMO?
Contact details are given on both the A&R and contact
pages, along with details of the type of artists/demos
we are after.
I'VE SENT A DEMO BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM YOU,
WHY?
We're pretty busy here at Boltfish, like so many
other labels. We try and listen to every demo we
receive but sometimes it can take a while amongst
the other things we have on our plates. As such,
please don't hassle us for replies. We aim to give
an answer to every demo we receive, so if by some
chance you don't hear from us for months it
might just be that your email address or contact
details
weren't
clear
or they weren't on each item you sent. Follow our
guidelines on the A&R pages and you should be fine.
I WANT TO REVIEW A BOLTFISH RELEASE - CAN I OBTAIN
A CD OF IT?
Yes, for review purposes we will on occasion send out CD-Rs of our releases,
and promo CDs in the case of full CD releases. We also have special press pages
where MP3s of our forthcoming releases are available.
Please
contact
us for further details.
DOES BOLTFISH GIVE OUT FREE RECORDS/CDs TO ANYONE
ELSE?
Sorry, No. We're afraid we're not
in the business of giving out free items such
as this unless from a recognised reviewer. We just
can't afford it kids.
I HAVE A WEBSITE, WILL YOU LINK TO ME?
You may contact us with your details for consideration
but we do not add links to our website if we do
not receive a reciprocal link. See contact page
for details of who to send requests to.
I RUN A NIGHT/EVENT AND WISH
TO BOOK A BOLTFISH ARTIST TO PLAY LIVE.
DO YOU
DO THIS?
Yes, our artists all play live gigs. Please
contact us for further details.
DO BOLTFISH ARTISTS REMIX
OTHER ARTIST TRACKS OR WORK TO COMMISSIONED BRIEFS?
Yes, most Boltfish artists will consider remix & collaboration proposals and/or
briefs
for
specified
projects. Please contact us if you have something in mind.
I AM A VJ/VIDEO PRODUCER/ANIMATOR
- CAN BOLTFISH USE MY SERVICES?
If you're a video producer/film-maker and are interested
in producing visuals/videos to accompany Boltfish
releases please feel free to send us a demo/showreel
or contact
us to discuss your ideas. Being a non-profit venture
we chiefly offer publicity for you and your work
alongside
our
music in return for your film-making efforts as well
as the rights to distribute your finished work as
part of your own showreel using
our music (subject to approval). |
