What should I do to promote my songs

Is there something like competition for trance songs on internet
Or like chart, for new songs
Or some link to contact radio stations, like sunshinelive radio
or anything else

In my country young people this years like house and chillout
We have no radio programs for trance

Thank you

build a image, but not the typical metrosexual european white dude with his hands in the air, come with something different, run with a outragous gimmick if you have to, these days no matter how good you are, its the image that comes first, depending on what your goals are ..of course.

i know theres tons of artist who would beg to differ, but i am assuming you want to spin trance in arenas, and get on the radio,

Just say George Bush listens to Chillout and House.

So as long as you have internet access, you should be perfectly OK to make a first few steps my friend. We all have different view/opinion/experience on how or what is the best way to get yourself known or be recognize but I can give you only my idea on how you should start.

Create SoundCloud account (you already have TA account), get your best production uploaded and comment on a lot of tracks - you can get your followers build quickly. Slowly and over time you will be contacted by same labels (if your music is good of curse) and you will have some influential people/producersDJ contacting you or at last become your followers (trust me I'm speaking from my experience).

So as you can see this is not to much task to start from - good luck.

Cheers

Make some bootlegs of old classic tunes, let them play from the big ones.... and yeah the rest is getting startet


Funkagenda did this with his remix of star 69, sander van doorn, Orkidea of Way out West's Killa etc....

You have to do it yourself. Start hustling, make your own nights and build your name that way. I guarantee you that there are many people in your little country just like you--fresh faces who need exposure, so find a way to contact them. They'll bring people to your night, you bring people to your night, and you have a party.

The name you bring is just as important as the music (through djing or production) if you want exposure.

what about making some good music!

Do this.

Get your own night going, then when you start making money in the pot, book a headliner, which will then attract even more people.. Just dont expect it to happen over night, these things take time.. Networking is very important, build your contacts, especially for booking dj's as it will cost you a fortune going through their agents.

theres was some tips from beatport recently, something like this:
- pre-pre-pre release: talk about it out on social medias (facebook, myspace, twitter).
- pre-pre release: bump all the social medias with a sample/clip and send out promos to djs/radios.
- pre-release: make a hot youtube vid for the track and bump all the social medias. full track is now avaliable for preview. alert all fans.
- release-date: avaliable in stores, bump all social medias again for further annoyance.
- no-profit: fail (ok this one wasnt stated but the rest was).

this joke ??? this was really listed at beatport?

Well I get email and facebookd, soundclouded and myspaced all the time from labels and artists. I only listen to my soundcloud, but only if I see "this song has been sent to 4 people" because I'm not listening to it if you've sent it to 924850485 people.

Social media won't let you scream louder than anyone anymore, but it's a necessity just like having a website. There is never going to be another Tila Tequila imo, she took advantage of it because myspace was hot at the time before it became infested with bands. Not saying it can't be done, but it can't be done on a T Tequila level.

It's pretty hard to shout louder in the internets. Hustle outside, it's just as much hard work as making songs, but labels and promoters will listen to a guy they know than a random bedroom producer it seems.

Maybe it's just me, but why wouldnt you want to come up with a name yourself that represents you and the music you produce? We're all different but damn.. Anyway, best of luck getting your stuff out there!
