Record Labels

What are some electronic music labels that will really listen to your tunes? Im tired of sending my tracks to labels that dont give any feedback whatsoever. It gets frustrating at times because some of my tunes have great potential. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good labels to send music to.

In most cases if they do not reply your stuff isn't what they are looking for. In fewer cases they don't listen at all.

well what kind of edm genre we talking here exactly???

Posted by Element One on Jan-11-2008 23:20:

basically trance, and some tech trance occasionally. I mean,I've been played on radio before, but thats as far as my tunes get.

what record labels have you tried?

Posted by Element One on Jan-12-2008 02:01:

armada, cold harbour, captured music, flashover, high contrast, spinnin, and a bunch more that i cant recall right now

Posted by Nightshift on Jan-12-2008 02:14:

For this style of music i think u should try In Trance We Trust, Vandit, Deep Blue, Anjunabeats, Enhanced, Amon Vision, Alter Ego, Daif. Many of those labels that you have listed are more into the uplifting/club genre of trance & [moving on to] Electro-house if I can recall correctly. Your style is more of progressive nature and teh labels I have listed are for the most part progressive trance labels. Try them out and let me know.

Thats good information. Do you know where I can send some tech trance tunes to?

Some of those labels are pretty big/biggish. They won't reply to you at all or will reply to you a month and a half later. At best, they'll give you the "well it's not what we're looking for, but feel free to try again" answer.

Anyways, I tend to post my stuff up on forums first in a pretty low quality mp3, and only give them part of the song. You'll get better feedback on the internet. You'll get better advice here than your friends and family who'll just lie to you to keep you happy or record labels who don't have time. Youtube also isn't bad either.

You should try some smaller digital labels if they don't reply to you after a month and a half or so. You got some quality songs there bro.

I don't know what to tell you about the labels but, I can tell you that your music is awesome buddy. Its just the style I am trying to produce but, have not gotten to that point yet.

only the first track would play for me. id say try and get your kick to stand out more like it be the focal part of the track. could help with your chances. i feel personally your kick gets lost in the track.

tracks are pretty good... like to hear the tech trance that you were talking about.. being a tech producer and all few little things that need work kick needs more compression, hi hats need more sparkle and the low end needs a bit more eq... but overall i listened to them all and i like the direction of them.. keep it up that's for sure... as for the label part... just keep doing what your doing find dj's that play your style and go through the labels that they play and try to contact them... also just send the dj's a full mastered track odd's are after a couple or so someone's bound to say something... it's what i did haha
but like i said keep it up the potential is there.
