Call for Submissions 2010

With the success of 2003’s holiday-themed compilations (East Coast Halloween Sampler I & East Coast Christmas Sampler I), VVVU Music is finally getting around to its next series of music compilations from Atlantic Canada. East Coast A Go-Go is the first in this series.

We're looking at putting out a couple of comps over the next 9-12 months. Possible 'themes' include East Coast chill out/lounge/exotica and music for films.

Deadline for submissions is whenever we receive enough quality music to max out an audio CD in one of the above-mentioned themes. The comps will be professionally manufactured. As usual, the comps will be limited issue (100 copies), free, and for promo purposes only.

This is a great opportunity to promote your music.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all !!


Compilations

East Coast A Go-Go
(April 2005)

"VVVU has a knack for putting out some great compilations that you will not find at your local record store. However, these discs are distributed to local radio stations, so please request something from a VVVU comp the next time you call! The theme of this disc is "party music", and it delivers upon that sub-title in spades. Put this on at your next soiree and people will move! There's a good mix on here too....great techno from Halifax's beatmeister Andrew Duke, cool surf rock from 3-Piece Suit and Windom Earle All Stars, fucked up glitch from Mescaline Worms, metal from Anvil Chorus, hiphop from Pimp Tea, a crazyass tune from Syd Barrett's Privateers, and lots, lots more. This is a well put together collection that is wildly eccentric, fun and varied. It is a great snapshot of the current Maritime scene."

East Coast Christmas Sampler I
(November 2003)

"VVVU Music continues its takeover of Atlantic Canada with their East Coast Christmas Sampler Vol. 1 – think of this as a companion to the East Coast Halloween they released a couple of months ago. The VVVU take some traditional Christmas tunes and turn them on their collective ears. As with the Halloween sampler, anything goes. The emphasis here is on the electronic and dub music, but the album is really all over the map, showcasing how diverse Maritime music can be. Throw this on at the next kitchen party and get your freak on."

East Coast Halloween Sampler I
(October 2003)

"Although Halloween has come and gone, some enterprising Atlantic Canadians are out to make sure that it’s not forgotten. Get out your hoodies and glo-sticks- the East Coast Halloween Sampler Vol.1 (VVVU Music) has some of the fattest electronic tracks to rock your block, and this is just the tip of the electronic iceberg. There are some wicked synths, spooky samples (Edgar A. Poe, and the Exorcist) and (gasp) some classical guitar-demented experimental tracks from all over NB, NS, PEI and the Rock. Represent!"
