Contacting labels

[Warwolt]

I mean, if those tunes really are that sick, getting soundcloud follower shouldn't be a problem.

the only essential thing is that your tune stands out from all the other tunes sent in every day

I try to aim for this anyway, but i'll keep this in mind

^ indeed. i'm fairly sure that just a regular e-mail written with kind words and a few download links is the best approach. the music should speak for itself though. it's also good to send your stuff out to djs with radio slots and tons of listeners, good way to get your foot between the door.

the tune in your sig sounds fairly tight, i wouldnt mind that being released

thanks topmo3, glad you like that tune. I dont really know which labels would be into that sound though, but your obvs right about giving material to dj's with radio slots, but contacting them can be harder than it seems. very few seem to hand out email addresses etc..

I don't give a shit about how many followers you have on anything. The very WORST producers I know of in Bristol have the most soundcloud followers, and trust me they're a bag of crushed arseholes.

We put out a deliberate mix of unknowns and established names. Those who literally have never been heard of before and don't have a fanbase through to the biggest names we can sign. It's the music that matters, a good introduction, a link or two to your bestest tracks and little to no arrogance, will pretty much guarantee you a reply.

ok so as many have stated, popularity is irrelevant to the artists talent.
Also can i ask, how can i send or submit music to go on your mix (considering you where to like it?)

yesyes Lance
Send your shit to as many respected (by you) DJ's as you feel comfortable doing. People hearing your shit and asking for rewinds is the best way to get signed I think!

Easy Will, hope your all good bredrin.
I guess I should target some DJ's pronto, can i send you some stuff?

agree with mr dime above me. if you can get a few djs to regularly spin your tunes, youll begin to get a following, or youll at least have some djs backing you. dont be afraid to give VIP's djs love that

ps: soulstep im really loving your releases, expect to hear from me when i finish up my ep.

pps: oh shit alistar and and soul motive you guys have some awesome releases too.. i guess i need to start paying more attention to smaller labels.

ok, VIP's are a strong help too

All about the quality of the music! Nothing else matters.

nobody said they are THAT sick, 'sick' or 'good' is all down to personal taste and preference. And like Pete said further up, followers dont mean everything to everybody
