| joof would be te first to decline from my point of view. I'm sorry I can't provide any insight on this. But from what I've heard the joof digital isn't what it should be. |

I'm not sure what major label I would like to be on, I haven't really done much research on the matter. Armada would be nice of course, but since I switched to more of a progressive house sound I'm not sure if that would be a good choice. I really want to get something on vinyl, I don't care what the label is. I don't think it will be long at all before my productions are good enough to submit to major labels. Will I actually submit anything? I don't know. The whole process of submitting demos sounds painful.
Maybe I'm a slacker and an underachiever, I'm pretty happy where I am now, I'm with a digital label. There's no pressure, and I have total musical freedom. I met a DJ who is the A&R for the label, that's how I got with them, I didn't have to submit a demo or anything. I wasn't even planning on finding a label, and probably wouldn't be with one if it was up to me alone. If I ever progress beyond a small digital label, I want it to happen organically. I want them to come looking for me. So for the time being, I'm going to continue to hone my productions skills, and hope that down the road someone important takes notice of my tracks. |

Nowadays though, labels are looking for tracks with perfect mixing and production skills. (unless you are Sunny Lax :D)
So it will take a lot of effort and time to reach that level. |

I don't consider them strictly a digital label. Though the way I'm going right now I doubt it'd be the right label for me anyway. |

I've decided I wont stop producing until I get a release, I'm having problems finishing tracks but no problem coming up with melodies..not sure If I would start my own label or try joining one...
I might try a few remix comps when I feel I'm ready to get publicity... |

Nowdays? I'd say that's always been true. Why should they settle for anything less? The thing is though, there could be some great tracks out there with a little less than great production, but still great nonetheless. But anyways, I've come to the conclusion that those of us who will never be pro sound engineers, which is most of us, don't have much of a chance of getting on a major label. The way to work around that of course is to hire professional sound engineers and a co-producer to mix your tracks. Or, if you're lucky, you can find a collab partner with massive skills in those areas. I hope I'm wrong about this, but every other music genre uses professional sound techs and producers, so why should EDM be any different. There's comes a point where you have to throw money at the situation. I'm not willing to do that yet, so I'm sticking with small digital labels for now. |
