Hi,
As many of us are aspiring artists, I thought it would be helpful if someone could supply a list of very small labels that could recieve demos. I've sent some stuff to Warp and Rephlex and Planet-Mu, but got no replies...(mind you, the first track WAS the worst, silly me)
Do any of you know the names of some small electronic labels? Thanks in advance...

forced exposure allows you to browse labels (reflecting their stock, of course) and they have a huge selection of relatively obscure music. there are also descriptions of the recordings so you can get an idea of what styles the label releases.

Oh, sorry you havn't heard yet, but there's no longer money to be made making music. There's no longer fame either really.

Skam, Rephlex, Warp, Planet-Mu. The amount of releases they release a year are just too few. I mean even if the music they receive is shit hot what can they really do about it? There is only so much music they can release (each year) and only so much that is bought too. I think sending a demo to these labels is a complete waste of time. The reason people pursue these labels is for the Kudos and marketability, which is fair enough but the reality is they have a set amount of releases and a set amount of artists. So unless you are so hot that your shit smells like perfume, forget about it. In a way had Mike P not shown such interest in artists like Venetian Snares etc then I don't even think it would have been on Warp's or Rephlex's radar. What do you lot reckon?

So-what to do?
THanks for your help anyway. For your information, I make really melodic drum and bassy kinda stuff. Off beat and bizzare and catchy.
