Welcome back to our music edition of the Adsactly blog, we noticed something amazing today, which is just the almost unfathomable amount of music orientated content that is created and shared just here on the Steem blockchain. In the last hour there was more than twenty music related posts, and with a very conservative estimate of about 200k active accounts, imagine when we get to over a million or more, and the amount of music content that will by produced then. It's amazing and at the same time pretty daunting, especially if you are trying to stand out and get your music content out into the open world. The best advice I can give is to connect with a Steem community, or multiple communities, because just posting is only a small part of it.
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.
"The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music." - William Shakespeare
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!
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 @sadheaven for his version of the awesome Hans Zimmer song "The Last Samurai". I'm personally a huge fan of cinematic music and revel in getting briefs from clients to do epic movie music, hence why this post instantly stood out to me in the music feed. I also really dig Hans Zimmer, and if you're not all that in the know of who he is, think The Lion King or Pirates of the Caribbean, but my favorite is still the master John Williams. This was a beautiful remix which kept to the heart and spirit of the original source material, the added Dota 2 samples really works wonderfully. Please go check out more of his content here and show him some love.
Please be sure to join our discord server and look out for the adsactly_music_initiative channel, where you can drop your music link as well as chat to us and others about all things music. We look forward to seeing some amazing new music tracks and projects, as well as meeting all the musicians who have come to Steem.
Now what are you waiting for? Go and get that music post and link it in the comments...Don't forget to check up in the "How It Works" section to make sure you submit within the parameters. Let's have some fun with music!
