I’m thinking of sending my new track to some labels… anyone have any tips on doing this?
I hope its good enough and its dosent make me look like a tit!!
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.
just about to do the same. maybe post a mailing list when we’re done 
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.
should we always send the full track or sample if sending to loads a labels? dont want it ripped off…??

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.

Thanks mate! Fingures crossed!
Since you’re in edinburgh man and I’m in glasgow, maybe one day when I’m up to your standards we could get together and do something, I dunno.
The thought’s there anyways.
Peace
I’m very interested in this i’m in the process of sending tracks over to a few labels that i’m interested in and hoping they get snagged up.
Do you drop tracks to dj’s aswell or to labels first?
I’ve sent out to a few labels last week and so far had 2 responses, even both have said they liked the track, both have also said it doesn’t match their style.
Think i’m going to have to keep trolling through beatport for labels, it’s such a difficult and long process this!
I guess that’s the beauty of finding a label which matches your style, you just end up keep on releasing on the same label?
lads i tink u all will be delighted with this link>>

If you put emails under your ‘BCC’ in your email, then everyone who receives an email can’t see you else you’ve sent the email too.
