make the best tunes you can. Worry about everything else afterwards. I'm no bigboy DJ but I do still get sent an awful lot of tunes, and most of them are just not good enough to play out, let alone release.

Seriously, it's not that hard to get tunes to pretty much any DJ if you really think that a) they specifically will be into it, and b) it's definitely better than almost everything else they're sent.


the way new artists break into any scene is via their music, not their marketing/networking skills. If your music is great, people will find out about and things will happen for you.

a nice digital clip page like myspaz, virb, or soundcloud as well
