get into the Itunes system 70% of world MP3 sales are through them sorry I dont know who the uploaders for it are but there are various ones you have to go through.

There's a ton, but I think Beatport and I-Tunes are the two main ones

Bit of confusion there - Beatport and Itunes aren't distributors - they are the outlets ; )
what im after is who do you use to get on Beatport and Itunes etc.......

In this day and age, anyone can be a digital distributor.
Why not approach Beatport and I-Tunes about Lama Farm instead of going through someone else?
I apologize if you have done so already, it's just that I've seen so many people pop up on there so quickly, it doesn't seem to be too difficult.
I've seen a few indy artists make names up for their "label" when it's really just them promoting the tunes they've made.
I guess I could suggest a few people like NDM music, but I really think you'd be better off going direct without a third party involved.

Pete, contact Oneel and Joel A on this. They've got good contacts right now and recent experience on this.

I have tried direct, hence why im going through an intermediary. no need to apologise.
Beatport is actually quite difficult to get on unless you've made a large impact already, and Itunes is very selective. When i applied before it was not long after we started the label, when we didnt have the sales or indeed the reputation to back up our request. Now the label is in a stronger position, they wont let me re-apply : (.

Ah, ok, sorry bro!
Hope things work out with Oneel or Joel or NDM.
Hard to believe some of the crap that's on there if they won't let you in, it must be a "who you know" thing.

Definitely not a bad idea -toyed with signing up with these guys. Only draw back is it costs more to sign up with more outlets and territories if i want a global approach.
The plan is to go with a one stop shop who can put the releases into outlets we either couldnt get in before or ones we didnt know about. goign to keep Stompy and Juno for ourselves as they make us the most cash ; )

Tune core isn't that bad really for itunes, but I think Ingrooves would turn you down at this point. The only bad thing about an aggregator is that they take another 20% I believe. Check out EPMonline. I have a few friends using them, they are based in holland but have a deephouse giant Gene Ferris on there, so they are doing pretty well, could be good for you.

Cheers man -ive dropped them an email : )
Ive got Double Depths on the label who hail from Holland so hopefully it'll be a clincher
