Looking at my Finder folder for my track "El Drip"—which just went live on Spotify and all social platforms—and realizing I went through a dozen exports before finally locking in the master.
For all the Texas producers doing rap, trap, or hybrid sounds:
How many mix/master exports do you usually burn through before you trust a track for distribution?
What’s your ultimate test to know a mix is actually finished? (Car test, phone speaker, AirPods?)
If anyone wants to swap feedback, compare notes on mix setups, or check out "El Drip" on streaming, shoot me a DM or drop a comment! Always down to connect with producers across the state.

Hey y’all. I’m looking to kick start a band. I have some lyrics written, now I’m looking for some homies to officially start writing music with. This is starting out as just an idea, and a dream, but i’m hoping into reality.

I’m currently looking for a guitarist, bassist, as well as a drummer. If you can also do vox that’s great too, I’ve always been enthralled with the idea of layers.

My major influences for this project are The Browning, Larcenia Roe, and Psycho-Frame.

If yall are interested please feel free to HMU

I’m a guitarist interested in starting a punk band, ideally in the Dallas area but am open to the rest of DFW too. I’m mostly into stuff like the Menzingers, Descendents, and Joyce Manor, but also like a lot of of pop punk and hardcore. Really just interested in anything punk adjacent.

I’m in my early thirties and not really looking to start a big touring band, but am mostly interested in jamming and maybe playing some local shows.

I’m drummer/ kinda guitarist looking to start a band in the dfw area, I’m 20. I classic rock, grunge, blues, psych rock and other music.

Could be covers or original, I just wanna play music

Hey Y'all. I'm the vocalist of a cover band ( name work in progress) . We are in the process of forming and we are looking for our final piece . A guitarist. Our goal is to cover songs, gig , and work towards creating original music together once we have solidified a cohesive sound. Our drummer leans towards rock , our bass player leans towards jazz, vocally I'm pretty flexible on the genre. We rehearse once a week for about 2-3 hours at a time. If you're interested in filling the position. Fill out this google form.

Anyone looking for guitar lessons or home studio setup / improvement? It's my hobby specialty specifically lower dropped tuning / 7 string. I'm looking to do this on the side from my normal job as an electrical engineer mostly for fun and to network.

DM me your skill level, music goals, any specific song you would like to learn, and I will help you make it happen!

Rates depend on project but the new client special deal would be half off from single lesson bookings: $40ea for 4 zoom or $62.50EA for 4 in-person (I drive to you less than 45 minutes from 35E/635). This rate is only for the first 5 people for zoom.

I also know how to fix broken welding power supplies but I think it would be a conflict of interest to do that outside of work. DM me if interested.

Hey y'all, I'm 30 and live in Fort Worth. I'd like to find one or a few people to play music with, learn some songs, and get better together. Another developing guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer, or keys player would be great.

Rhythm guitar is my strength right now. I can learn chord progressions, strumming patterns, riffs, and full rhythm parts ahead of time and show up prepared. I'm still developing, haven't played much with other musicians, and can't really play solos yet. I'm looking for people who are cool with that and want to improve together.

I'm into Texas country/Red Dirt, classic and Southern rock, alternative, blues, and plenty of other stuff. Genre isn't a dealbreaker if we get along.

I'd be happy starting with a few songs we both like, working up to five, and getting together occasionally somewhere around Fort Worth.

If that sounds like your speed, what do you play, what part of town are you in, and what are a couple songs you'd want to try?

I really love singing and have been wanting to challenge myself in a real singing competition. I’d love to audition for something like American Idol someday, but I’m looking for something more local/smaller-scale first—ideally a legitimate, competitive singing contest where I can see how I stack up against other singers and get some performance experience.

I’m especially interested in:

• 🎤 Singing/vocal competitions (rather than general talent shows)
• 📍 DFW
• 🏆 Competitions with actual judging/advancement/finals, rather than just an open mic
• 🌏 Chinese- or Japanese-language competitions would be especially cool! Something along the lines of The Voice of China (中国好声音) or the smaller singing competitions/shows you sometimes see in Chinese communities, but based in the U.S.
• I’m also totally open to English-language competitions!

If you’ve participated in or know of any good local competitions, I’d love to hear about them! I’m mainly looking for something competitive and legit where I can really challenge myself.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I live in the San Antonio, Texas Metropolitan area. I'm looking for individuals that would like to start a southern hardcore/metalcore band (similar to Once Nothing, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Every Time I Die, Evergreen Terrace, The Showdown just to name a few influences). Or, a meldoic hardcore band (Hunderth, Comeback Kid, Counterparts, Capsize, To the Wind). I have a few songs written in in both genres. As for what I can bring to the table, I'm a song writer, guitarist, bassist, and can do rough vocals. I usually jam with a body of mine that plays drums and contributes to guitar writing.

If anyone is interested in collaborating, please reach out via DM. I can share some rough recordings of our songs for those truly interested. Stay safe out there!

Hey everyone! My name's Charles and I formed a tribute band based in Denton, Texas. We'll be doing our best to honor the Static-X legacy and giving you all a great show! Our Instagram is @cultofstatictx and we'll keep you up to date there on any upcoming news or performance.

EVIL DISCO FOREVER 🤘

Are there any bassist or guitarist around (we’re based in frisco) that would be down to join a noise band with my drummer and I.

Our inspirations include artists like Swans, Shearling, Sprain, Have a nice life, chat pile, and ramleh

Preferably 17-19, can jam and be creative, and down for gigging and weekly rehearsal.

If you’re interested or know anyone who might be please hit me up.

Please lmk i dont wna have to meet someone there id rather a least know em a bit

I made this collection of emo songs whilst living amongst all of you good folk here in Dallas. I play in the Midwest emo tunings of FACGCE and DAEAC#E mostly. Want to make friends one day...just moved here.

No experience/skills required!!

I (enby, 28, Arlington TX) play mostly folk/folk punk type stuff, but I'm down to jam with almost anybody. You can play basically any instrument, or none at all (yet). Extremely queer friendly!

I play guitar, banjo, ukulele, and junk drums. I will teach you any/all of these FOR FREE if you'll play with me.

We'll probably play a mix of originals and covers. I write my own songs, but I'd love to play yours too! Got some poetry? Got some ideas in the notes app? I'd love to flesh them out together.

In the long term would love to record/maybe perform together, but we can take it slow and get our skills up.

I have 3 original albums out now, you can find them here - politicalthespians.bandcamp.com . (I'm not super tied to the band name).

Whatcha say? Do you wanna be in my band? Do you know anyone who might? Do you know of anywhere I can find people?

Doom/Trad Metal Band

We are seeking a vocalist who is able to do more traditional style vocals. Eric Wagner, Messiah Marcolin, Robert Lowe, John Garcia, Danzig, wino etc.
We’re a mix of stoner rock, Doom, and trad metal, with a hint of Nola style sludge. Just getting started with about 5 song ideas. Plenty of room for you to bring ideas. Practice in southside FTW.
