You need proffesional content before you worry about promotion.

its not mastered or eq'ed yet.

You say you have all the essentials but do you have the Sidechain or an Analogue? The Sidechain I'm sure you know what is, but the Analogue is a synth/compressor from the 60's in case you wondered.

lol

this guy read the black man's guide to promotion. YOu have the fundamentals but can you make a beat in 5 minutes ? Youtube me.

You sound like a great person to work with :]

Why the fuck dont you EQ it

Cant believe the comments on SC for this.

Someone with supposed DJ experience should know at least what sounds good or not.

I am not judging you on your tracks, I certainly am no pro.

It is just annoying to me that people can't see why begging people to follow them (not in this thread but in others you started) is such a lame and bad thing to do. It is an egocentric mindset. 'I don't listen to anyone elses stuff, but they should listen to mine'. 'I don't comment on anyone elses tracks they post, but everyone should comment on mine'.

When I was a kid an MLM marketer basically barged his way into my parents house and when my parents didn't want to buy his stupid product, he called them 'jerks'. Never mind the fact HE doesn't like it when telemarketers call him, or when people come to his door, it is different when HE is the one who wants to be the next millionaire selling knives or soap or whatever.

People have decided to skip straight to the marketing of themselves without a good product or even a finished product.

I am not trying to be a jerk, you may be a great guy, I don't really get off on getting angry at people online. But this type of mentality just clutters everything and makes good content drown out. It is a big reason why many labels and DJs don't accept demo's or promo's respectively.

What makes your tracks so proffesional? It sounds very minimal and not layered at all. I like the drums.

First sentence.


I have been going at it for two years solid now and my tracks still sound bad.

I have only been producing for a short time, I'm hoping to meet someone who can help me mold my sound. My problem is I make it all on some really shitty speakers. Getting a new pair of monitors soon.

My advice, and now I am no longer in forumjerk mode, is to wait to promote yourself. Get your feet for producing first. Putting up tracks and asking for help is different than asking people to follow you on soundcloud or facebook.

Once you are ready, promotion should be focused at labels and DJs. Average fans are never going to make you famous. Avicci (like practically everyone who is anyone in Dance) got Pete Tongs attention, not a bunch of individual fans on soundcloud.

Like I said before I made it all on some shitty speakers, I will be fixing that soon. I wanted to meet someone who I could bounce ideas off. The loop was just thrown together to show the kind of style I was going for. I have already changed it after some advice from a friend, and updated the clip. I will be able to clean it all up soon. Im a newb when it comes to producing, but I have been dj for 12 years, and have played with some really big names. Elite Force, Donald Glaude, Dj Dan, Hatiras, Meat Katie, Lee Coombs, Josh The Funky 1, Bad Boy Bill, Dylan Rhymes, Eddie Halliwell, Downlink, Ill Gates, Freq Nasty, Love & Light, Opiou, LowRiderz, David Starfire, Vibesqsquad, Keith Mackenzie, and the list goes on. So you could say I'm not to worried about your snide comment about my djing.
