Polish radio jingles so nice, you’ve got to get them twice – Our dear Hot AC friends at RMF FM in Poland have just taken delivery of yet another 10 new custom tracks.

This little mini-package stands firmly on it’s own or serves as the perfect refresher to augment RMF FM’s custom 2008 package. Rooted in Pop and Dance, these 10 cuts span the range from nice ballads to driving 4-on-the-floor to guitar-charged Rock.

Each cut is served up as a concise little ramp mix along with an honest to goodness transition and logo mix to accompany it. They are presented here an on IQBeats.com with group vocals, but it goes without mentioning that we’ll let you have it however you want.

Listen to the montage and demo below or head on over to IQBeats.com and listen to the new custom RMF FM 2011 Jingle Package cut, by glorious cut.

Montreal’s 92.5 The Beat just launched with cuts from all three of the venerable Heart radio imaging packages we’ve created over the years (Heart Jingle Package 3, Heart Jingle Package 2, Heart Jingle Package 1) and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

We’ve produced a number of re-sings of the various Heart packages over the years and this one is proving to be one of our favorites. The folks calling the shots at the Beat wanted the singers to deviate from the 3 note melody logo – Letting things unfold in a more adlib fashion.

The results highlight a new dimension to where this package can be taken vocally. We think it’s a perfect fit for 925 The Beat and wish our friends up north every success with their new station.

Here’s a few words straight from the horse’s mouth…

As we were looking to re-image our stale AC radio station into something fresh and vibrant,  one of the most challenging aspects of the procedure was finding a jingle company to work with. One that would fit all our needs. When we heard what IQ Beats were doing, we knew they would be perfect for what we were looking to achieve.

We wanted to step away from the established and expected style of jingle production and these guys got it big time. When we said we didn’t want a traditional stacked vocal sound, I could feel them smiling on the other end of the line and we took off from there.

They were willing to try anything that would enable the vocalists to freely express themselves. The resulting package is one that seamlessly flows throughout the day with the jingles feeling like they are an integrated part of the musical experience we are trying to offer our listeners and not a obligation to identify ourselves.

Great work, great talent, great results. Our re-branding is already creating a fresh new buzz on the street in Montreal and a lot of that’s due to IQ Beats!

-Mark Stafford, Creative Director

Yowzah.  Have kinder words ever been spoken?  Wethinks not.  We had a great time working with Mark and 925 The Beat as it was a truly liberating, fun and exciting experience.

Here’s a montage of all the cuts in the package

Portland, Oregon’s news leader KXL has displaced Active Rock KUFO and is beaming loud and clear at 101.1 FM.

The move from AM to FM exposes KXL’s 85 years of heritage to a whole new audience and provides information to them as they’ve never heard it before… With the great fidelity of the FM signal.

We are pleased and honored that this move was launched with elements from our suite of LBC packages created over the years for London’s Biggest Conversation.  Check out the packages here:  Package 3, Package 2, Package 1.

IQ Beats has developed the PERFECT sound for any FM news or talk station.  I was looking for something that got my attention without driving me away with annoying noise.  The IQ Beats package for FM talk (LBC) were a great match for our move to the FM dial.  If you want a big, classy sound, this is it.

-Brian Jennings, Director of Talk Programming

Woah.  You had us at PERFECT.  More kind words…

IQ Beats once again showed me WHY they are the best in music production and jingles!  The new KXL package they did for us has been awesome as we’ve made the switch to the FM dial!  The sound is current, smooth, clean and BIG at the same time.  It really helped to push KXL to the BIG FM in our market!!

-Byran L. Griggs, Production Director

Here’s a brief aircheck demonstrating how great the stuff is sounding on air… Enjoy!

Zut alors!  It’s fall now and we’ve not blogged anything in months.  Pas de soucis as we’re back to announce a new custom package for Virgin Radio – France.

You may know we have a bunch of amigos over in France with some of our previous work for Virgin’s hombres at Fun Radio (Package 1, Package 2, Package 3).  If you didn’t know, now you know.

We could wax poetic all day about the fine Côtes du Rhône wines we washed down our Crottin, Tome, jambon and frites with during this project, but why?  That would just make haters hate (more).

We did have a blast making this package of 12 Dance and Electro inspired cuts that come in tidy little ramps alongside stagers and shotguns.  In the end this package is simple, in your face and sounds good… Even though it is in French.  ZING!

J’ai toujours vu que pour réussir dans le monde, il fallait avoir l’air fou être sage!

Domenico Torti – Italian man in a French land

Our French is busted, but we think this may be our greatest endorsement ever.  For reals.

While we’re still basking in the Provençal glow of our Vence chateau and are too preoccupied to bother with putting the package on the main site or making a demo, check out a montage of the 12 cuts below in the meantime.  C’est la vie!

**UPDATE** – You can now HEAR THE ENTIRE PACKAGE ONLINE cut by glorious cut as well as the package demo below.

Hard Rock FM in Jakarta, Indonesia have just taken delivery of some great new IQ Beats radio jingles with a mixed bag of cuts from our Heart London Jingle Package, the Heart Network 1 Jingle Package, our Heart Network 2 Jingle Package and even one from our Century FM Jingle Package. That is a casserole of awesome right there.

Like a proud papa, it amazes us to think that our little jingles have grown up and moved away to an exotic, far-away place.  And with an average temperature that never dips below 75 degrees Fahrenheit, you know the jingles gotta be hot.

Have a listen to the montage below.  Terima kasih, or thanks for visiting the blog.

Remember that one time when we shared Radio 21 and we kind of implied that this package is HOT and the must-have CHR item to get your hands on?  Like Virgin Radio, Channel 4, WZPL, Radio 21 and many before them, the newest member of the IQ Beats family using the Capital FM jingle package is FM104.

FM104 is Dublin’s Hit Music Station and have selected a little more than a half-package to complement their hot mix of the latest and greatest chart-toppers such as:  Adele, Rihanna, Pink, Taio Cruz, Take That, Britney, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and more.

Here what FM104′s production director has to say about the package:

At FM104 we sought out to find a jingle package which was different from what we had before and also to find a package which stood out in comparison to what is currently on air in the Dublin radio market.  We decided on this IQ Beats package as it sounds fresh and powerful while also carrying a retro feel.  The jingles work great with the music we play on FM104 and really jump out of the speakers, particularly at the top of hour.

Working with IQ Beats was a pleasure.  We had many requests and tweaks throughout the recordings but you made sure we were happy with everything and it sounded just right.

P.G. – Production Director, FM104 Dublin

Again folks, this package is going fast in most major markets.  Contact michael [at] iqbeats.com today to get in on the action.

As one of the premier radio brands in the UK and entire world, it’s no surprise that our bespoke music imaging package for Capital FM in London (and now airing throughout the UK’s Hit Music Network) proves to be popular, popular, popular with a growing list of syndicated clients.

Recent case in point? Radio 21 in Romania.  Like many before them, they too chose the venerable Capital FM Jingle Package as the must-have element for their station identity and to launch their new branding statement of “Simply Positive”.

A few words from our friends on the ground:

The sound is INCREDIBLY open – Exactly what we ere looking for to launch the new Radio 21 statement, “Simply Positive”.  Our music blends perfectly with the music and elements you guys made for us.

If you are a top radio station, you MUST add some IQ Beats flavor”

- A.C., Radio 21 Producer

As names like Thurston Howell, III and trusty anecdotes like ‘third time’s a charm’ imply, three really is the magic number.  Arno und die Morgencrew and the rest of 104.6 RTL – Berlin have just begun airing a new round of bespoke radio idents that rings in our 50th custom jingle package in the nearly 10 year history of IQ Beats.  Here to stay?  Who knows.  Here to play?  You bet.

We made some radio jingle magic with RTL I.  The encore was the more organic music imaging of RTL II.  Buckle up, get your glow stick and furry boots because RTL III eschews the more organic sound of previous statements and takes a trip down the dirty, grinding electro path that none of your favorite octogenarians are vibing to these days.  This package turns up the heat and is a very contemporary statement on the leading edge of today’s pop.

For the third time in a row we’ve gone to IQ Beats to define the musical identity of RTL through carefully crafted and superbly produced jingles.  Why?  Because they deliver each time, we simply like what they do and the collaboration is easy.

No matter where the station is at with current musical trends, their composers hone in perfectly on producing for what is hot right now and then go beyond to capture what’s next on the horizon of pop music.  So good, perfect on the air. Thank you!

Martin Dumschat – Head of Production, 104.6 RTL

The folks at Dublin’s Q102 have recently begun airing a new version of our Heart Network 2 Radio Jingle Package.  With the two breakfast anthems and nearly all of the 15 music themes in use, the package is a fresh lift for the station and sounding great on air.

Providing excellent customer experience and service is something we have built the company on.  As such, we invite all our clients to partake in the vocal sessions regardless of the distance between us and Dublin’s Q102 were no different.  The guys had a specific vision for the scan of the lyrics they were looking for and having them tuned in ensured success.  We also reworked the intro shelf of the news bed to be exactly what the production director was looking for so that the talk-ups by presenters were bang on.

The new package we got from IQ Beats has given the station a great lift – Within hours of it first going on the air i caught at least 2 of the presenters humming the “This is Q” tagline which confirmed to me that we had made absolutely the right choice in choosing the Heart package once again to be the jingle sound of Dublin’s Q102!

Kip and Michael at IQ Beats couldn’t have been more accommodating when it came to demos, advice on singers and the final production.  Being able to listen in on the recording session was invaluable and all suggestions, no matter how “out there” they were, were taken on board!

Valentine’s Day love and awesome are in the air as 104.8 Channel 4 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates have just begun airing their new syndication of our 95.8 Capital FM jingle package. The Number 1 Music Variety station have taken the entire lot and the station is now running even hotter than Dubai’s high average of 103!

Our man on the ground at the station reports that all are thrilled with the package and had this to say…

I cannot even begin to tell you how delighted we are with this package. It has gone beyond our wildest expectations.

The creativity in the mixing, stuttering, adlibs, etc. is absolutely amazing and really defines it as a contemporary package.

Thanks guys SO MUCH… Awesome.
