Fairfax Public Access has a signed agreement with Slipstream IPCO LLC for all of our TV producers who are looking for music to add to their shows.
To use the music offered at this site you must first sign this agreement.
Once you’ve downloaded this agreement, there are 3 fields you must fill out.
Your name at the top of the first page.
Your name again on the last page.
Fill in the date
Email the completed contract to staffproductions@fcac.org.
Now you are able to go to Slipstream. The username is musiclibrary@fcac.org and the password is “fpamembers” and this log in will allow you to search for music in catalogues we have permission to use.
Any songs you want downloaded must first be added to a playlist. To do this:
On the left hand side of the page next to “My Playlist” click on the icon that looks like a folder with a plus sign on it.
Name the new folder your full name and click “Create Playlist”
To add songs to your playlist simply click the “+” icon on the song track and in the small pop-up window that appears select your Playlist.
Once you’ve added all your songs, email FPA staff at staffproductions@fcac.org and let them know that you have a playlist ready for download.
Staff will download your playlist in .mp3 format and email you the file(s).
Please download the song(s) asap.
Staff will then delete your folder to signify that it’s complete. So you’ll need to make a new folder and new playlist every time.
Here is a helpful tutorial to help you learn how to search for music on Slipstream.
Tutorial
Please note, we strongly advise using Chrome or Firefox as your preferred Slipstream browser for optimal results.
The easiest way to get started in Slipstream is by using the search bar.
Try typing in popular brand names to find sound-alike material (e.g., Oasis, The Beatles, Danny Elfman), or use pop culture references like movie titles or personalities (e.g., Ocean’s Eleven, Wes Anderson, James Bond, Starbucks).
After your initial search, use the filters that appear below the search bar on the right side of the page to narrow down your results. You can refine by music genres, moods, vocals and more.
