How to find the label who wants to release your tracks?

Post by Smuk »

Hi, i've been producing various genres of music for
quite some time now. During the years, lots of demos
has been sent out to labels & DJ's without the reply i've
been waiting for.

How do you find the label who likes your music enough
to publish it with your name on it?

I really hope some of the people who got their tracks
signed in here can help with this question

some of my own tracks are avalible from the prepost community.
Check the netlabel post or go directly to http://www.prepost.net if
you by any chance want to check out the stuff this Norwegian is up to

there's no secret... target the labels (at large) in the genre you're producing, send it to everybody, and hope for a positive answer... if you havn't got any answer, keep on working!

You could get a well know producer to rmx your stuff and things will happen I'm shure.
And offcourse do as Cyhl says and keep on doing what your doing right here and now.
So much music so little time

I don't think you really can find ''YOUR" label. What you can do is; listen to your (favourite) labels where you want to have a release. Listen good how there records sound, and produce a track in there ''sound''. So far as I know, labels have always have a specifick tune what typical is for there label. Make your sound in there sound. I hope you understand what I am saying?

if anybody have critival on my philosophy, I like to hear it.

Anyway, keep on working!!! And what tic tac, above me said. Let well known producers/djs make a rmx of it...it will work. They will hear your name..

Well I accept demos all the time. There's many label owners on this board as well, why don't you contact them? :wink:

first of all, don't make music to tailor the needs of a specific label
stick to your own sound and work at your craft
the market is already oversaturated with similar sounding tracks
only send your demo when you're 100% comfortable with your tracks

it may be a good thing initially to send to as many labels as possible that are more less into your thing, once (if) you start getting responses, you can see which labels like your sound and which don't
so when you make new stuff, you prioritise the labels that were most positive to your stuff

but still... you never know, labels can have varied tastes and aren't always that predictable
