The brilliant minds of Platinum Blue Music have taken their Xray machine and turned it into a new service for musicians and music industry professionals.

Music Xray Introduction

From the website: “Music Xray will use music information retrieval science to enable Music Industry Professionals to create dynamic, high-speed music filters where quality metrics, success potential and sounds-alike search criteria are defined by the individual needs of each Music Industry Professional. You could say that Music Xray is the first fully customizable music filter for Music Industry Professionals.”

Music Xray provides artists with a customizable module that contains a song, lyrics, video, market share info, blog mentions and artist bio. These modules are then matched up with music industry professionals based on requests such as types of songs, tags, hit ratios, etc.  The basic modules are FREE for musicians with options for an up sell on premium services.

Music Xray did a great job on the design of the modules.  They are sleek and intuitive to use. Simply click on the information you want and it expands the window.  Since the modules contain all the information an artists needs for press, labels, etc.  it will also be a useful tool for artists to add to their press kits and blogs or websites. 

Congratulations to Mike McCready and the folks at Platinum Blue…Music Xray is a compelling product and I hope it does well. Please let me know what you think of Music Xray.

I am very excited to share with you the latest news from the Roxy Theatre's social media success story! Nic Adler, owner of the Roxy Theatre, made the cover of Nightclub and Bar, the leading trade rag for venue and bar owners. "How The Roxy Regained Relevance by Listening and Communicating" features an in-depth look at Nic's reinvention of the Roxy's image by ditching his website for a blog and opening his doors to the community. And thanks for the name check Nic! Nic is a true pioneer in the music and social media space. I wish him and the Roxy staff the best of luck in the coming year and look forward to seeing what's next!
