Help me fund my 1st EP

BSLPS · April 5, 2019, 4:55pm

Hi,
last summer I posted here a live set I did with an all Elektron set up (digitakt, digitone and A4mkII) and got very nice feedbacks.
I’ve recorded some of the tracks I composed for the set and I’ve sent them for a competition organised by KissKissBankBank and Trax (french electronic music magazine).

I have been selected, which means 2 things :

I’ve got to create a crowdfunding campaign to produce 200 vinyls for this EP. You can find the project and buy the vinyl or digital EP here: https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/between-sleeps-fantasia-ep
It is written in french but I can translate if needed !
I have the possibility to play live at La Gaité Lyrique, a great venue in Paris, if I get enough votes. If you’re kind enough to help me, you can vote here (it takes just 2 seconds) : https://survey.zohopublic.eu/zs/ZmB8rj (check Between Sleeps)

I’ll be very grateful to everyone who contribute to the project or take the time to vote !
I am not used to such self promotion, but in this case it is very much needed.

I really liked your set and the tracks you recorded and voted for you.
But i don’t fully understand the contest. First you have to press 200 vinyls out of your own pocket (via crowdfunding) and after that you have to get enough votes to play at the venue for free?
So the only price is playing a live set at a nice club? I mean it’s not nothing but it seems like the sponsors could be a bit more generous.
But anyways, i also wish you’ll do well in this contest.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to vote !
I can see how it can be a bit confusing. To explain a bit more the contest : it was expected to send an EP or an album with at least 4 tracks, and be able to play live. We were 110 participants, and 10 selected to launch a crowdfunding campaign. And among those, 3 will get to play a live set in this venue.
What we get from the contest is this :

Coaching for the crowdfunding campaign, with the help of KissKissBankBank
Coverage for the project and the live set, as Trax is a media
The opportunity to play at la Gaité Lyrique, which I would never have otherwise. It is for free, but during an event where a lot of great labels will be there, so it makes it very interesting
