We just noticed that we never shared with you a fun track that the IQ Beats creative team was recently tapped for and think you’re going to dig this.

The commission was to create a piece of custom music with vocals for the British Airways Dream Destination promotion run on Heart London. Mix-outs abound including two competition pieces that are loaded with suspense.

The piece has been running for awhile now with the promotion being a big hit. Whether you win or not, this theme truly has the ability to transport one to their Dream Destination.

Have a listen.

A ways back we shared here that we made some custom imaging for Scott Mahalick at KBWF in San Francisco that we were calling Kickers.

He has continued to commission more over the past year but Rick Stewart at Boise’s KAWO – Wow! Country 104-3 has REALLY taken to the Kicker concept and has now got 25 of them in addition to a bunch of other custom production.

In the montage below you’ll hear examples of a basic Kicker with a beat stringing together three hit Country tunes bookended by interchangeable station voice alongside a more elaborate version that has custom sung vocals over the intros to hit tunes to further a station’s imaging possibilities.

There are even a few custom pieces to check out based on “Atomic Dog” by Parliament/George Clinton and “We Will Rock You” by Queen.

Fun stuff and a GREAT imaging arsenal.

Clear, concise, elegant and soulful. UTV Radio has launched its dynamic, new on-air imaging on Staffordshire and Cheshire’s Signal 1 with the other 12 stations in the network each due to launch their respective versions soon.

Composed by Steven Scalfati and Patrick Napper, the package exhibits a range of mood, style, color and emotion while blending perfectly with the varied playlists found throughout UTV’s UK network.

We always love to have our clients from the UK and beyond visit us at our downtown Seattle tequila bar and clubhouse production facilities. UTV Radio’s Deputy Group Programme Director Simon Walkington made the pilgrimage to oversee vocal recording, get his hands on some mixes and find out what tequila is all about:

We are delighted with our new package. On first listen I was truly gob smacked. Working with the guys at IQ Beats is a bit harrowing with the free-flowing tequila, but how can you question the results?

They patiently got to know our brand(s), tirelessly worked on beds until they were perfect, mixed in world-class vocalists and presented us with jingles that complement our great playlist. IQ Beats have really taken our station imaging to a whole new level.

Click here to hear each component of the package and stay tuned to the blog for future additions showcasing the enormous amount of work that went into writing, recording, editing and mixing a custom package for thirteen different sings all at one time. Now may be a good time to remind you to subscribe to our feed so as not to miss out on any of the IQ action.

When a couple of radio heavyweights and friends of IQ came knocking for a the perfect package to launch Flagstaff, Arizona’s newest Hot AC station, we set them up with a fantastic re-sing of our 96.6 TFM package.

The package is using slogans of “80′s, 90′s and Today” and “My Music, My Station” along with an end sing of “My 106.1″ and sounds great. Custom edits of the stager cuts were made to accommodate the longer slogan sings with a great vocal sound provided by legendary jingle diva Emily McIntosh.

The station is now live and playing 10,000 songs in a row. Head to the My 106.1 site and click the Listen Live link to hear the magic, or head on over to iqbeats.com and listen to the package here.
