Originally posted by Pete_B Been thinking about sending some of my own stuff out to the labels etc so I took a look on the back of some records I own. Seems like there are very few UK trance labels out there, most of the records I came accross were in Holland & Germany and alot of other places. Just wondering if any of you know some labels based in UK I could take a look at. I think so far I've only found about 5 or 6 underground ones, because it seems most british dance music is released on Incentive, Data and Nebula etc which are all a bit commercial. Thanks for your help!

Try TRR. This is a good new label and is run by Andy Bagguley and Genix.

ATCR
Lost Language

UK Bonzai went bust unfortunately, shame they used to release some wicked tunes.

Also manifesto are still around they have just released a new erik prydz tune I think.

Heres a few more I thought of

Y2K
Neo (maybey gone bust)
Perfecto
Platipus
Adjusted
Liquid Asset
Bulletproof
Tripoli Trax
Duty Free
Closet Recordings
GK Reordings

Thanks. I as I browse through all these labels, its sad to see how many have now closed down. Neo, in particular I was shocked at - I've got so many quality tunes from them.

Majority went bust due to Alpha Magic going bust.

However don't send your tune to every uk label. Try to focus on the sounds & style that each label release, and send your stuff to the one which fits best. You'll have more chance.

Thats exactly what I'm doing, I'll probably only have an elite list of 10 or so.

But.... I do have enough stamps so theres no harm sending out a few extras.

Interesting thread, Neo went bust because they lost all the decent trance stuff they used to have and ended up releasing shitty house on that blue imprint.

Damn right, actually ALOT of labels lost decent trance stuff. Hard to believe when there's so much great unsigned music out there!

Take some advice here, a friend of mine sent his track off to the labels it suited best, and sent it off to a well known label in the UK, ran by a talented producer.

Heard nothing about it, but a month later a production by this big name came out and had taken parts of my mates tune into his success. Whilst most respected producers might not do this you just have to be careful of who you send it to
