    I have a similar story with a good producer friend who has now been signed to engineer for one of the biggest pop acts in England. He was introduced to him by another guy, who wanted to stay relevant in the deal without being able to offer anything other than the first meeting between these guys.

    Unfortunately for you, and him, unless you can produce yourself and the artist wants to use your talents you have no say or right to stay within this 'deal' - all you did was get them talking.

    You will not be credited anywhere on the contracts, releases or promo...you were just a guy who set up a meeting and helped the remixer get a shot at something exciting. It's how the music world works.

    This is like introducing your friend to some chick. They get married and have a kid and you want to be on the birth certificate. Good luck with that.

    How is it getting out of hand? no one has said anything insulting, we are just throwing banter around due to the nature of how crazy it sounds man.

    You sounded a bit like my Dad then.
