good day everyone.

I'm getting a lot of feedback (from here too) saying i
should be signed to a label. Any suggestions where i should
be sending my record?

well, i don't know if i'm either... but thankyou... i'll
check that "skam" out, i'm not too familiar with this
electronic scene anyway. [which might surprise some people.]

go to all the record labels you know of and look in their
link sections, youll find tons of other labels and jsut send
your stuff to everyone, I would say that is your best bet
(not that im an expert or anything)

Look on the website for any label you plan on sending a demo
out to. Some will tell you what they look for in prospective
signings, and whether or not they are looking. If they do
not include that info, email them and ask. If they do not
respond, chances are they are not looking, and would be
pissed to recieve something unsoliceted.

When you are sending out a demo, try to keep it under 4
trax. They will frequently pass over submisions that look
too long. Use your best material, best song for the first
track. Remember you are sending out a demo and not an album.
If your demo interests them, chances are they will ask to
hear more.

Anyways... thats what I know about sending out demo's. Good
luck.

personally form what I have heard of your music..it seemed
perfectly suited for NINJA TUNES...the home of Amon Tobin,
Coldcut, DJ Food, Funki Porcini etc...

Funki Porcini is the Dude.

Amon Tobin aint half bad either.

Luke Vibert is on Ninja Too. As well as Mu. And Mo Wax. And
Nothing (altho I am pretty sure that is just distro).

been really gettin into Porcini....I got "The Ultimately
Empty Million Pounds" and "Love, Pussycats and Carwrecks"
the later for all practical purposes sounds like an IDM
album to me..

Yeah... definately went out on limb with that album... its
way too acid jazz for the hardcore IDM hedz, and way to
avante garde for the downtempo types.

Venus is such an amazing song.

See?;

Funki Porcini - Love, Pussycats and Carwrecks Album -
Released June 17, 1996 on Ninja Tune.
This is definetely a disappointment after Hed Phone Sex. It
has a few good songs, with a jazzy feel, but you can't help
thinking that he ran out of ideas and just played tinny
breakbeats over and over for fifty minutes.

"The music is often played at a high tempo, and in my
opinion, it suffers due to this. It is like an irreverent
gabba album at times, or a jazz album recorded at 33 1/3 and
played at 78, to paraphrase Charles M. Schulz. Also, there
is little in the way of memorable melody. The album
occasionally seems to consist of rythmless percussion and
little else.

"However, some people love this album, so don't just take my
word for it.

"Rating = 4 out of 10"

Heh... he has actually started working on really minimal
techno music.
