Dear Friends,
Satellite Records, Remix Magazine, DJ Times Magazine & Wicket Recordings have come together to create "Operation Inspiration" a benefit compilation to raise funds and awareness for soldiers who have sustained life altering injuries in the current wars in Iraq and Afganistan.
Proceeds from this compilation will go to benefit the "Azalea Charities Aid to Wounded Soldiers project." The Azalea Charities Aid to Wounded Soldiers project provides comfort and relief items for soldiers and Marines sick, injured or wounded from service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Donated items are distributed to soldiers and Marines at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center Bethesda each week. Many of the soldiers and Marines are grievously wounded and will require long hospitalization and rehabilitation. The purpose of the program is to enhance the morale and welfare of the wounded by contributing quality of life items. For further information click this link - azaleacharities.com/aid.htm#topThis compilation will be comprised of all original tracks created by military personnel who are serving or have recently served. We are currently searching for tracks and need your help. Please forward this e-mail to all military personnel you know, so that we can give this opportunity to as many military artist/musicians as possible.
Submissions should be a 128k bitrate MP3 file no larger than 5 megabytes (we will ask for CD quality submission if selected). The submission should include the artists full name or names, military branch, dates of service, rank, production/DJ name if applicable, and track name. Selected submissions will receive a small royalty and full credit on the album which will be widely distributed. With your help, this compilation will go to brighten the lives of the very people it was made to benefit.
Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2005.
Eligible individuals who submit tracks will receive a complimentary 3 month subscription to Remix magazine, and those who are selected to be on the compilation will receive a free one year subscription to Remix.
Thank you for your support. We will be giving you further details as to the compilation's evolution, release, and availability in upcoming weeks.
Sincerely,
Scott Richmond & Jonathan Kadish, founders of Satellite records
