Tried to post and contribute in the Audio Portal..
But unfortunately it got claimed for a song that I can’t even listen to!
Oh well..
No worries now! It finally got fixed.

@AM-ZYNK Hmm I think I see what happened here. The guy whose song yours was matched to must have used garage band loops to spam distribution services with shovelware music (thrown together slop) and extort Spotify for money. You used one or more of the same loops, and the system snagged you.
I've listened to your track but because of the duplo rule in the guidelines, I'm reluctant to approve without knowing just a bit more about your project -- which parts you personally composed and so on, what exactly are the garage band loops. Besides the drums I mean. Almost everyone samples their drums these days.

Really? That’s interesting considering I did make the drums (Roland TR-909) ..the guitar and a slight section of the bass (not all of it) would be the sample and that’s pretty much it.
@AM-ZYNK That's probably where the flag went up in the system then, the guitar and a little bass sample. I've approved your case since the drums make up a large portion of the track
Thanks, now that you’ve explained who the guy is, it makes sense why his songs aren’t available in Spotify.

I see your appeal. Thanks for checking out my profile btw. It's how I found this. About how much of your composition is loops?
AM-ZYNK
Hmm…around 40% if I’m correct, but even then, those loops that I used I edited them to not make them sound completely identical to their original recording.
