| I have 6 releases coming out in the new year with MPFS Records, SA:UK Digital and an EP on Diverted Recordings. One of my tracks is being remixed by Sean Tyas. I'm remixing a Factoria track with Fabio Stein and I hope to get signed to Maelstrom or Spinnin by the end of next year (fingers crossed) |

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... |
I had (maybe still have) the same problem. |

I'm a bit confused... are you only producing because you want to get signed? Because that's the kind of vibe I get from your post... |

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. |
What I mean is, production seems to have become more important with labels these days, I mean you can hear the difference in production quality from a track in 2006 than back in 1999.
A lot of tracks that were big back in '99, I couldn't see being released nowadays. |

simply because the market moves with the times my friend, the software you can get now is much better than in 99 which means more people aer coming up with more professional sounding tracks which in turn means the labels only really now take on professionally made tracks.
If you got a killer hook though or vocal or whatever or just a killer track that dioesn;t sound so professioanlly made then the majority of labels will try their hardest through mastering to help you get the track sounding sweet |

Its a shame, i love the roughness of the productions back in 99, they had that edge to them.
Although production quality nowadays is amazing, but its almost got to the stage where its more important to get your tracks playlisted by a big DJ (armin, tijs, pvd) than actually getting it signed to a label.
Alot of artists nowadays send their material to the big djs first, then to the labels 2ndly (which labels dont usually like) but its great for the artists to get playlisted
Will be exciting to see what happens this year with producing and labels |

This is such a tough call. I'd love to be signed by any label who is really down for my music and is willing to push it to new levels. Too many times, I've seen labels and artists simply not grow together. The artist's style shifts a fraction and the label want more production from the artist.
I've always enjoyed being a self-promoted dj/producer. There's always a sense of true accomplishment when I do well and when things don't go so well, I have myself to blame. But if I had the option to choose, I think my sound fits well with Tip World. My sounds are very rock and roll based and I've noticed Tip artists (GMS, Logic Bomb, 1200 Mics) use similar sounds.
Maybe I'll get lucky and somebody from there reads this!!!
Yah... That'll be the day.

I could be wrong here but you might just have to send some demo's off to them but then you never know - stranger things have happened - did anyone else watch the X files ;) |
