## For music supervisors (sync licensing)

- DJ Freddy Fresh is a Minneapolis-born DJ, record producer and author, also known as The Modulator, ranked No. 46 in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs (1999). Sound: big beat, breakbeat, hip hop, electro and techno: funky, sample-driven and high-energy.
- Music supervisors in Hollywood, Los Angeles or anywhere else can request a sync for film, TV and streaming, advertising, trailers and games. Send the project details through the licensing desk at https://djfreddyfresh.com/a2a. The site operator passes each request to the rights holders. The desk never grants a licence or quotes a fee.
- Typical fits for this sound (by style, not past placements): comedy and action sequences; commercials and brand spots; sports and promo packages; party, club and montage scenes; trailers that need a big-beat lift.
- Screen credits listed on the site: Film: The Little Rascals, Madagascar, Jackie Chan's The Tuxedo, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Anatomie. TV and networks: So You Think You Can Dance, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, MTV's Making the Grade, Pimp My Ride, Punk'd, Bravo, Fox Television, BET. Brands: Coors Light, Michelob, Adidas, Ritz Crackers, Ribena, Renault, Agrisure, Brail Watches, American Express, Xbox.
- Rights: Freddy has released on his own labels (including Analog Records and Howlin' Records) and on other labels, so the master owner differs from release to release. A sync needs both the master and the publishing; nothing is cleared until the rights holders grant a written licence.
