(That's a good majority, I presume) I was just curious: has anyone here on this MB sent in demos to record labels (e.g., Rephlex, Warp, Caroline, etc.)? And if so, has anyone heard back from these labels?... Is anyone here SIGNED to a label?...

A friend of mine is starting a label called BlackNight recordings. He's got some stuff on promo already that even AFX would be proud of. If you have any demos (CD only) that you would like him to hear :
BlackNight@ 11a Downton Ave Streatham Hill London SW2 3TX UK
He promises he will get back to you.

its actually not real expensive to start your own label. about 4 years ago i was helping run a label with two other guys.
we started out by doing a couple of compilations which the artists themselves chiped in and paid to get it pressed. im not talking huge runs 1000 copies is all, and most bands are keen to chip in $100ea just to get the promotion.
we then just organized all the promos [interviews, stories in the papers, gigs] the money we made from two of these compilations paid the artists back [no profit, but free promo] then financed two succesfull eps and one not so succesfull.
it can be done, not that difficult. just keep it to scale.

ps: i sent a demo to rephlex about 6 months ago....no reply....im sure theyve recorded over my MD....damn it.

I sent a couple of these tunes to Planet-Mu. (www.ugrafix.com/atft) I finally emailed Mike P to see if he even received them and he said no, even though I received a receipt from the post office that said he did get them.

I haven't sent anything yet, but I'm considering it...finding labels other than Warp/Rephlex is tricky though...

i sent a demo of me banging keys on the piano randomly...
they replied asking if that was what i wanted to do or if it was just random shit.
i said 'it's random shit' then they said then we are not interested.

I've send out a demo to almost every label in the planet, although some have responded back both positive/negative ,most haven't.
Mike P gave me a very nice response. (but not nice enough for a deal :-( )

i am just finishing up my first solo demo, but it still needs to be mastered and stuff. probably take another month or so to sort it all out. hopefully i will send it out to a few places later this year(i may just give it to friends), if and when that happens i will post back here and let you know what happened.

tolstoyed.... in answer to your question. i have made about 40 electronic tracks over the last few years but always hated them after about a week. i have since erased almost all of them. my new demo has 5 tracks. they are very lo-fi/ambient/experimental..... i like them :) also i am in a band. play guitar and have written about 15 songs for that.... but we have only recorded about three.
