Just wanted to drop a quick blog post to let you all know of our latest licensing placement. As many of you know, we here at Incorporated Elements have had over 450 placements in film, television, video games, and advertisements. Below is a link to our newest. It is the new Gillette razor commercial featuring Olympic runner, Tyson Gay. We are very excited about this placement and hope you enjoy it as well.

If you are a music supervisor, film/TV production company, or ad firm reading this, please contact us, so we can work with you on your next project as well!

This week for New Music Wednesday, we are going to do something we’ve never done before. We have created an album of some of our best remix instrumentals. If you’ve enjoyed the full versions of these songs, you’ll love the instrumentals too. You can rock out to them and even put your own vocals on them and send them to us, so we can hear you sing or rap over an IE track!

We are using Noisetrade for the first time, so please let us know what you think of it. We are offering this album for free, as we do with all of our NMW, but on Noisetrade, there is an option to pick a “tip” amount if you’d like. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED TO GIVE US A TIP. If you want to support us that way, we definitely appreciate it, because it gives us the opportunity to be able to spend the time to create even more for you guys. But, you are not required to leave a tip to get the album. And, if you do decide to tip, you can slide the little “slider-thingy” to change the amount…you don’t have to tip what they have requested on the site.

There are other ways for you to help promote this on our Noisetrade artist page, so feel free to help us out by promoting it too.

We are really trying to find the absolute best ways to get free music to you and promote Incorporated Elements the best way possible.  So, your feedback is appreciated.

This is a Noisetrade exclusive album, so make sure you pick it up there, because it’s the only place you’ll be able to get it…ever…no, really…ever.

This week, we remixed another Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly and Jessie J smasher! Of course, you know IE needs to take it to a whole ‘nother sector. So we do what we did how we do it and are really enjoying listening to this one! We hope you all enjoy and spread the word that IE does it like no one else in the game!

Bump, bump away!!!

Hey peoples!

We are in the process of working on two brand new remixes for y’alls ears. We gave you a little taste of what next weeks will be, and if you’ve been observant, you may already know what the one after that will be

We’re really excited about this next phase for I.E.. Last year we made a move to focus on our strengths. This year, will be one of NEW music and OUR sound. We’ve decided to stop putting ourselves in the boxes of what the industry is sounding like at the moment and focus on how we will be shaping the sound of the industry in the future and we’re pretty excited about it!

We’ll also be continuing to do our best to keep you all in the loop with updates on things that are happening @inc_elements and posting as much new music as we can. Obviously, as you’ve all seen, we haven’t been able to be as consistent as we want to be with our blog and posting new music and with that, we thank you for being so supportive and patient. While we may not be able to hit EVERY Wednesday with a NMW, WE GON’ TRY DANGIT!!!!  So, that being said….

This NMW is a track that we did back in ’08! It was one Eric and I did before we officially teamed up with Ric as the @inc_elements you know and love today! Back then, we were called Winona Drive Productions and as you will hear, we loved to save what we thought were the best bits of the song for last. Generally, we would start the song really tiny and slow-build to a gigantic, speaker-pounding finish around the five-minute mark, not to mention our never-ending, ever-loving, love affair with off-the-wall outros! Looking back, we were very self-indulgent, and it was…just fantastic. Take a trip down WDP memory lane with us won’t you? Enjoy!

WD-,,,,I mean, IE:)

We also have a propensity for weird track names:)

Okay, it’s Wednesday, so that means it’s NMW time.  We are CRAAAAZY busy working on a bunch of new things, so we didn’t have time to put together a whole new mixtape, remix, or song this week.  But, we didn’t want to leave you empty handed either.  Here is a tease of a new remix we’re working on…see if you can guess which song it’s for.  Leave your guesses below in the comments, please.

Also, for our new followers and subscribers…or for anyone who may not have these past NMW downloads yet, here are a few treats for you to download as well.

Please pass this blog link to everyone you know, so the whole world can share this journey with us.  We thank you all so much for your continued support of us!  We could NOT do this without you.

And, as always, we welcome your requests for new remixes, songs to put in mixtapes, and artists who you think we should work with.  If you have an acappella of a song you want us to remix, let us know…we might just do it.

Until next time…blessings upon you and yours!

Ric, Eric, and Nate

It’s New Music Wednesday, er Friday!

Okay, here it is! A couple days late due to several unforeseen events, projects, and sicknesses that popped up. I apologize for the delay. I hope you enjoy this one. I wasn’t able to spend quite as much time planning it out as I’d like to, but I’m happy with how it came out.

Grab it at the link below and bump it for all your weekend activities. If you are having a Super Bowl Party, make sure you have all of my latest mixes and Incorporated Elements remixes and original songs here on the site…download them all and play them back to back for like 4 hours of non-stop music!

I have 3 other requests of you on this beautiful Friday:

1. Comment below with ideas for songs or mixes that you want to hear me do in the future…I’d love to make a mixtape of ALL fan requests.

2. Comment with any blogs or sites where you think we should be posting links to our NMW downloads to help get the music out to more and more people.

3. Have a safe and fun weekend, and remember to treat others with all the love and respect that you would like to receive.

thanks again for all of your awesome support!

It’s almost a month into 2012 people, and we’re already hard at work. One thing we didn’t do much of in 2011 was post videos-but that is about to change. Check out our Youtube channel *here* to see our first video of the year. Feel free to subscribe while you’re there, as we will continue to add videos of us working (and not working) in the studio, as well as other places around the country. Stay tuned…

Alright, I’m not sure if this is going to LOOK right or cool, because I’m doing the posting this time. Our blog setup/posting guru, Nate Thacker is out at the moment.

But, if it doesn’t look as cool as his posts, let’s at least hope it sounds great.

Here’s a new mix of some of the hottest club/dance/pop songs out there. Download, enjoy, dance, spread the link around to everyone in the world…repeat!

Part 2 of this mix is coming next Wednesday, so bump this one for all your weekend activities and get ready for more!

If you enjoy the mix, tweet the link out to all the artists who you hear in the mix, so they can enjoy it too!

Peace and blessings!

Favorite Songs of 2011

As 2011 has come to a close, I, like many of you, find myself reflecting on the year past: what went well and what didn’t; favorite memories, aaand some not so favorite memories; what we accomplished, and what we hope to accomplish in 2012, etc. One of the things I like to do through all this is to put together ‘favorite lists.’ Not only does it force me to objectively look at what I really liked the past year, but I have also found it enjoyable to look back years later at these lists and see how my tastes have evolved.

So with no further introduction, here are my top 10 favorite songs of 2011.

1. Lana Del Rey – Video Games

2. Kanye West – All of the Lights

3. Adele – Someone like You

4. Coldplay – Paradise

5. Paper Route – Better Life

6. Usher feat David Guetta – Without You

7. Adele – Turning Tables

8. Yuna – Come As You Are

9. Kelly Clarkson – Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)

10. Demi Lovato – Skyscraper

—Honorable Mentions—

11. Adele – Set Fire to the Rain

12.  Jessie J feat B.O.B. – Price Tag

13. Adele – Rolling in the Deep

14. Dr Dre feat Eminem – I Need a Doctor

So those are mine-agree with them, disagree with them, or just let us know what your top songs of 2011 are. Hope you all have a very happy New Year!

Elementers,

This week for NMW, we are releasing a remix that many of you might already have.  It’s our remix of “Hearts On Parade” by our good friend, Ashley Arrison.  This is one of our favorite remixes we’ve done, so we wanted to get it out there even more.  We realize that she has been giving it away for a while now, so alot of you guys may already have been bumpin’ this one for months.  But, we love her  and the remix so much, we wanted to make it available on our end as well.  If you don’t have her latest album, go support her and BUY it in the link provided below!
