hey this is a question for everyone of you thats made it past writing a great song. i just finished a cds worth of material, hell i ever mixed it together in a set. who shoudl i send it to? anyone and everyone? or should i make a list of record companies i would be likely interests of. or should i send them to record companies at all? whats the next step in promotion?
More ways to go...i'm not really expert as i haven't had any releases yet, but i have tried trying now even.
A lot of record companies have an adress you can send demos to. They are often on their website or written on a record of the label you wanna approach. So you wrote a litl letter to the A&R manager of the label and a demo. If you get lucky you get a release.
Another thing you can do is make a demo cd/dub vinyl, write your email addy or telephone number on it, and hand it to a spinnin DJ of whom you know he's connected to a record label (like tiesto for instance). Just for fun ya can also just give a CD to a "plain" DJ. I had a production of mine spinned at a club and i felt EXTATIC (that a word?) when ppl were freaking to my beats. builds self-confidence )

Hi eschala, I've just had a listen to your tracks and I think its to early for you to get a release, your music don't have a pro sound yet.
How long did it take you to produce these songs?
what did you use to make it with?
Nice site!!! But I can't find the section you are talking about...
