I would also suggest looking at the DJs that inspire you, and send them cds with it on. Most of them seem to have serious label contacts, and if it's pointed out to a label by a dj they already rate, they may look at it more favourably, plus then you can get feedback from the djs and shwo how big in the game you are when sending it to labels.

Nah. I've received that as well, and probably the exact same one you did.

In addition, I run all of the social media sites.... myspace, facebook, soundcloud, twitter, etc. If you send us tunes through any of these outlets, I am usually the one making the decision whether or not your tunes get heard.
What we want:
a zip file containing 2 or 3 of your hottest tunes
a short bio telling us about yourself (PLEASE USE PROPER ENGLISH)
contact information... AIM, email, myspace, facebook, soundcloud, whatever
(ALWAYS best to include this info in the file name itself.. for example: TuneName-ProducerName-Aim.mp3)
What we DONT want:
a link to your myspace telling us to "have a listen"
tunes posted into the comments section on myspace... they will not be heard.
i assume you are just promoting yourself on my page.
cryptic messages that require a slang dictionary to decipher.
With that said, we are always happy to listen to peoples music. We will want copies though. The first thing we are going to do with it is play it for the RogueDubs crew (about 3 of us spend Friday nights listening to all the music submitted). The next thing we will do is play it on the radio (RogueDubs Radio airs every Sat on Dubstep.fm) and see what kind of reaction it gets. It will also be played out Live, again to see the reaction. And of course, we will be in contact with you.
Hope this helps a little.
this lady has it all 100% right, don't get put off if you don't hear back straight away as well is my adive......
you can also email me zip files @
ghetto-knowledge@live.com as we are always on the look out for new beats for the label!!!!!!!!

didnt read through the whole thread-started to but figured id just respond...
best way is look for an aim contact, email or go directly on facebook and send a message.
when people directly hit me up, i usually take a moment to pull up the link or download and have a quick listen if its someone im unfamiliar with. some labels operate totally different though, so i cant speak for everyone.
the worst is too much spam. if youre hitting me up every day to sign a tune, i dont wanna be bothered. once a week is fine enough. things dont move THAT fast to have to be on someone daily. haha.
