Monstercat? Absolutely. (Also, a batch announcement!)
It has been a while since a specific user (Poison-) brought to staff’s attention that we had received potential permission for Monstercat, and I admittedly had been putting off posting a front page article (although, with really good intentions). The initial intention was to put together a really large, special event to welcome the amazingly talented artists; however, that concept fell behind with the interest of hosting FFR’s milestone tournament, the 10th FFR Official tournament. Certain users and members of staff have been pushing me to give some iota of care about posting it, and I kept putting it off out of nervousness for how I wanted to present it. Before presenting this permission, I would like to take full responsibility and apologize to FFR, and more importantly, Monstercat’s head of licensing on behalf of the entire FlashFlashRevolution community. Gavin, I never intended on holding out so long — many users on FlashFlashRevolution absolutely adore your music and have been waiting to produce playable content for all of your songs.
For those of you who are not aware, Monstercat is an absolutely sick record label that produces different varieties of electronica, including (but certainly not limited to) EDM, Dubstep, Drumstep, Trance, and Electro, and they pack a pretty big roster in terms of artists on their label: you’ve likely heard of names like Krewella, Pegboard Nerds, Rogue, Tristam, Soulero, Rameses B… hell, I live under a rock in terms of music and still recognized all of these artists. That only scratches the surface of what they have, and what is soon to come.
Check out a more extensive list of all of Monstercat’s artists here!
In honor of obtaining this permission, I would like to present a challenge to FFR’s simfile artists: you are the army that produces all of the content for our players, and without you guys, we wouldn’t have new content. Let’s show Monstercat a great time and provide some charts for their tracks. If you don’t have a simfile author title, now’s your chance to make a great first impression.
- Before making this announcement, I am going to officially extend the March/April batch by 14 days (May 14th) to begin the influx of files. In addition to this, submissions for a HARD SONGS BATCH will open on May 1st! All files intended for this batch will be sent to [email protected], and, unlike previous hard song batches, SAP rules will be applied! This should increase the overall output of solid harder files by giving our more experienced simfile artists the opportunity to submit to their full cap.
- During batch periods two and three (March/April, May [Hard Song Batch], and June [Regular Batch]), Monstercat submissions will have a credit bounty for acceptance, and the bounty will increase for each file that you get in game. For the first file you get accepted in the queue, you’ll get 20,000 credits, and the bounty for each file will go up by 20,000 credits. A simfile artist with a 5 file cap for two periods could theoretically earn 1.1 million credits (and my gratitude) if they want to devote that kind of time to providing playable content. I would love to squeeze as much Monstercat as possible into the upcoming official tournament, and you guys can help make that happen.
Thank you for giving us the permission for your label, Monstercat! FFR users, keep an eye on the front page for a compiled location for all of Monstercat’s free releases for easy access coming soon. Also be sure to stop at Poison‘s profile and give him thanks for the initial acquisition of this permission!

This is fucking huge. Everything on Monstercat goes fucking hard.

This was hard for me to post. I’m pretty much single handedly responsible for the delay of this release, and I didn’t want to accept it. However, I managed to get in touch with Gavin, the label owner, and things went quite well.
I sure as hell am going to blast FFR with Monstercat, that’s for damn sure.

I don’t know about Monster Cat or its songs, but this event sounds like a lot of fun!
Posted at 11:28pm on April 30th, 2014
I have all of their albums. This is the best. ily
Pegboard Nerds/Tristam – Razor Sharp and Au5 – Blue should make for some nice stepfiles, by the way *hint hint*
And there are already quite a few Monstercat songs up on FFR, such as Exogenesis (quality file). Hopefully we get a lot of nice files like that to follow!

Awesome! Super glad to see this is still a thing. It’s been so quiet since that one thread accidentally revealed the license months and months ago that I was worried it wasn’t going to happen.
