What label are my tracks most suited to? Seriously though.

I've posted my demo up here
before (which got some good feedback) and I've personally handed a CD to Skream, Hatcha, Rusko and Caspa ... to no response
.
I'm about to email some music labels now but I'm listening to my music and thinking, what label would realistically sign these? I'm not saying that my tracks are low or bad quality, I'm just wondering what label they would fit in with the most? My tracks vary quite a lot, and I know they say it's most sensible to send a demo to label which puts out similar stuff to your productions. But honestly, I dunno what my productions sound most closest to. Any recommendations? Shall I just start over? or start a label myself? or am I thinking too much now?
Advice/recommendations needed!! Thanks!

Click on the 'Dubstep Labels' link in my sig, visit all their websites and listen to the styles of music each label puts out.
Prepare to send your best material to any labels that are putting out music similar to yours.
If a label is looking for new artists, even if they don't do your style, it is still worth sending them your stuff. They may pick you up to diversify their artist roster.
there was a big thread on about sending tunes to labels about two weeks ago. If you search far enough back, you may find it (unless someone else remembers it and can provide a link... Lots of good info in that one!
)

Hey man, not in an jerky way but Futures Untold just gave you a great resource, which is nice, now it's your job to research and become knowledgeable about what you are trying to do.
