ADSactly Music Initiative #23
ADSactly Music Initiative #23
Welcome back to our music edition of the Adsactly blog, where we try bring you something new and original, made exclusively here on the Steem chain. I know we are all hoping for the markets to go back up to at least a dollar within the next months or two. It's all just a matter of time, there has been record amount of huge corporate companies hiring folks in the crypto sphere, which means it is slowly becoming mainstream, and it's just a matter of time.
"Hip-hop kind of absorbed rock in terms of the attitude and the whole point of why rock was important music. Young people felt like rock music was theirs, from Elvis to the Beatles to the Ramones to Nirvana. This was theirs; it wasn't their parents'. I think hip-hop became the musical style that embraces that mentality." - Chris Cornell
We would also like to again ask anyone to please drop some links of your own music or anyone else in the comments below, if you come across a great tune, be cool and share, or come post it in our ADSactly discord server in the music_initiative channel. Our aim with this initiative is to help support music orientated content from across the Steem blockchain, focusing on original content.
Introduction
We got together and decided we wanted to do something in the music space, as there are so many budding, talented musicians on the Steemit platform. We noticed that, although there were a lot of people posting, it felt like some of the contributors could use a little helping hand. I mean, who wouldn't want a little helping hand, right?
So where could WE add value? We could use our own in-house production people to help develop music for fellow Steemians looking for that little extra audio assistance.
We'll be running an initiative where Steemians can post their links below, and if the criteria are met (please read the criteria), we'll dig in with them and help mix their track, or add some instruments that they feel are missing from their song, or some little production techniques. If there isn't actually a post that our producer can work with, we might even just decide to give one of the entrants a bit of upvote love.
As time goes by and we put together enough collaborated content, we will then upload this content to digital stores (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, etc.) and release a compilation album.
The other avenue where we would like to add value is to sync the music to commercials to try and develop some additional passive income for the artists.
Where will this go?
....Only time will tell!
How does it work?
- Comment below with your Steemit post, DSound link or Soundcloud link (or another platform that you would prefer to use). Must be within 7 days of this post.
- Upvote this post
- Join the ADSactly Discord Community
- Please try make sure you have independent audio files that we could actually work with in production
- @ADSactly picks a winner (Please check back in the comments for this)
- The winner receives a consultation over discord to discuss the direction moving forward on the track.
- Our in-house producer does the work, sends it back to the winner, and they upload it to DSound with a guaranteed upvote from @ADSactly
- We'll report back with the results in the following post so you, our followers, can keep track.
Disclaimer: Sometimes it might the case that out of all the entries, there isn't a post that can be worked with effectively; whether its due to a winner not getting back to us, or there being insufficient or inferior audio separates to work with. In this case we'll pick a song or track to show some love to.

We’ve decided to give some upvote love to @djlethalskillz for his awesome cross over of traditional Oriental Arabic and Hip-Hop. This track was produced by DJ Lethal Skillz & DJ X-Methodz, and DJ Lethal Skillz laid down those sweet scratches and you can also check the video here, a really great track so please go show them some upvote love.

Wow! Such a great initiative !!! Love hip hop music!!
Great @adsactly
Kudos on the continuous support to the steemit music community and all you guys doing! Salute
What a good initiative for producers ... congratulations
@heypapalegend and @morkrock, Definitely music exposure needed because many platforms fail to provide recognition and any return back for their efforts, time and creation.
Let me know if karaoke pieces are eligible. Stay blessed.
@adsactly Team, Keep up the effective initiatives.

Great idea supporting the music community here, thank you!
I'm a musician, heres a track I recently did.
A good fusion, actually, with music of Arab origin and hip-hop. I'm a lover of experimental music that nurtures and respects (of course) ethnically based expressions, as composers like Peter Gabriel or "Dead Can Dance" have done, to name two of my favorites. My congratulations to @djlethalskillz, and to you for spreading it and recognizing this interesting work.
You are attempting to use a key with more permissions than required for everyday Steemit.com use.

I loved hearing something different. I've always liked to meet music from other cultures, from other countries and the sound mix is the order of the day. It is no secret that musical fusion increases exponentially day by day and that the lines that divide or conceptualize the different musical genres are fading. Well, for the cultural exchange and the mixture of sounds. Congratulations to @djlethalskillz and thanks to @adsactly for supporting the musicians and for maintaining this initiative.
