My advices on getting signed :
- Make your tunes sounding as good as possible first ( hardest part i think
)
- Share a few clips of tracks, but keep your best ones private, labels love exclusives. Soundcloud groups could help you a lot, try to get the good ones, a lot of labels are lurking on groups to get new artists. I've signed an ep on Lowpass Records this way
- Share your private tracks with a wav DL link only to DJ's, don't be afraid to ask emails for this at some big names. Then make a proper mail with preview link + dl wav link. If your tunes are good, you'll get answers first, and a chance to get spinned on radio or shows. After that, wait for labels to get in contact with you, i've signed an ep this way on Future Follower Records.
- Don't be afraid to give away tunes on free net labels, there's compilations or free EP that helped a few guys I know. They are now signed and they make gigs each week. I gave 2 tracks on free compilations, I signed an EP 2 weeks later.
- Pick up labels who could really be interested with your tracks. Don't send demos at a deep label if you do filthy stuff. Use dropbox on soundcloud, or get in contact with facebook. Simply ask for an email to send submission. You will have to be patient, they sometimes don't answer after a submission.
- Final advice, and the most important : Make music because you love it, not to get signed. Keep learning, keep having fun, get in contact with other producers / DJs and talk about music. Getting signed is just a little part of making music.
I hope it helped, if not, sorry ( I hope it was understandable too, my english is really not that good ):)
And by the way, I'm proud to announce that I signed a 3 tracks EP on Krypt Records ( after sending submission ), previews and release date soon
