The recording you would like to sample (duration/part(s) of song etc...);<br />
Any release details that have been planned;<br />

A recording of the new work.<br />

We will consider all of the information and then discuss on a more personal level with you the possibilities of the sample being approved. Unfortunately, to protect the integrity of our copyrights, we cannot give any permissions without discussing the intended use with you first.
