Okay, here it is guys...

1. Put your 4 best tunes on a CDR
2. Make a list of all the labels you want to be signed to, with their email address
3. Email the label contact (A&R person) and politely and simply ask if you can send them a demo. They will of course say yes, and now they'll remember you and be expecting your demo.
4. send CDR to them in a simple case. write your producing name, your phone number, and your email address on the cdr. also put that info on the case as well. you can put a tracklisting on there, but not putting it on might add to your mistique a bit.
5. DO NOT put anything else on the cd, on the case, or in the package. if you do art for your cd they might actually toss it away. They're looking for one thing... quality music and that's it. If you put anything else on there it could actually hurt your chances. Very few people seem to understand this concept but trust me--as someone who has made it and is at the top of my industry right now as I'm writing this.

Some Comments:
This is exactly what we did (except we put 8 or 9 tunes on our demo... but they were all good!). It obviously worked for us. We did this because this is what we were told to do by people we knew that had made it in the industry and did the same thing. You can read the our album review here in DJ Mag - http://www.shilohmusic.ca/images/djmag-article.jpg - which confims that is exactly what we did (and we're album of the month to confirm that we did something right).

Now, the most important thigs is this... your music needs to have the chops! You may think your music is amazing. You may have a ton of people who tell you and think it's amazing. The reality is this... 999/1000 people's music sucks, and out of those 999, probably 700 of them think that it's amazing. The bottom line is that you'll find out when you send that demo out if you're actually good or not. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Either way, be open for the truth. Not everyone can be the next dance music prodigy, but hopefully it's you.

lol!  So it did hahahah

so how do you find the different labels? I need a label 101 class... I'm so lost when it comes to dance industry knowledge

Most labels specialize in one very specific genre right?

The easiest way to find labels to pitch your demo is by looking at what you play.  Contact those labels about sending demos.  Make sure you review the label's calaogue though...Know for sure that your style fits their standards.  Example....At BTU REcordings,  Fitzpatrick and I do mostly Tech Trance,  so we would have no interest in Darkstep Jungle.

TRue...I must be the exception to the rule.  When I'm on Beatport,  I tend to look more towards labels I like to find tracks.  Like if I see Anjunabeats,  Afterglow, FiveAM,  Proton,  Yes Mate,  Oxygen,  Six:Thirty,  etc.  I'm more likely to buy.

I can typically remember the label better than the artist.  The great thign about Beatport,  though,  is they track your purchases.  You can always go back into your account and see what you've purchased.

read, consice read, my brutha!

very,very important.  #5 is exactly the OPPOSITE of what they tell you to do if you're a rock band.

* as far as having the chops: post demos on dance music sites..and not just this one!  if you can impress the socks off of strangers who could care less about your music then you REALLY have the chops.  (and it's not easy, i can tell you. i pretty much got an "eh, whatever" about the faith of a child single from trance.nu  i think i only posted the best mix,too...)

um... yeah... superstar labels... um... yeah... you mean there are ones that aren't superstars?

I'm workiong on a couple of tracks right now. Considering labels, I also think of the local context. I know I'm lucky to live in Amsterdam where a lot of things are giong on in the nujazz-brokenbeats scene.
I know the people from the recordsshops and venues. Last years they were getting more and more in the picture of the global scene. Like StraightnoChaser were mentioning / promoting their stuff.

So if I would be ready to go out I will contact them also. For me the social thing of a movement is also an important thing that makes a movement stronger, more true and alive. Ofcourse the digital thing is great for global exposure. But in the end . . sharing the music is the true heart of the nujazz-brokenbeats scene.

peace, GL
