What i'm currently doing actually this moment is going through beatport at house labels, checking them out and google searching their website. Then i'm looking at their contact section and usually there is information on how to send the demo to them.

send your demos through the mail,2 or 3 songs(i normally do 2),always have 2 additional songs ready to go,if they like one of your songs from your demo they normally ask for you to send another couple to possibly accompany the ep.for some reason what normally ends up happening is they sign the very last 2 you sent and pass on the rest.

always the full song.i would scrap any long sort of "mixbeat" intro though and just send an edit.whenever we go through promos if something doest really grab our attention in the first 15-30 secs,its on to the next one.you have your music up anywhere i can take a listen?
just noticed the links you have up after i posted this.

This is so ***** cool. I love all this chat about labels and stuff. Well done Wayne mate, hopefully your song get's out there, I liked it.

The best cheaters in this game win. So it's on you to figure out how to blag it.
