Use search engines to find the websites for the labels you are aiming for or that you feel may be interested in your music and they should give an address to send demo cds to. They may also request that you contact them before doing so or you will end up in the un-solicited pile. Try your tracks out on the internet public first. Post them (maybe just clips) on sites like this. If people like them send them off. If not take the advice on board and keep working. Don't send sub-standard stuff off or the label will be less than keen to listen to your work in future.

So mate I just tell you one thing - You have to make good music and then it is just the question of time and off course you must be in the right place at the right time...but remember it is not so easy to get signed....I know it because for me it was very hard long way to reach thi mate. I wish you good luck
