and what kind of response (if any) have you had? i haven't sent any demos out yet - i don't feel confident enough that i'd get anywhere. but many of you guys on here are totally record-deal-worthy, and i'm sure that some of you have sent demos off....i would just like to read about your experiences with labels and what kind of things they said about your music :D |

0, but none of the replies have been negative which is a plus. |

I sent one to John Peel, but I doubt very much he'll be getting back to me :P |

:D the stuff of yours that i've heard (is admittedly from a few months back, since i'm back on dialup) is pretty cool |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
seriously you sent one in? |
||||||||
|
|

You definately should have.. |

1 (one). the reply was quite nice, albeit negative. I have also sent multiple demos to Donna Summer for his netradioshow at wfmu.org, called "advanced dungeons & dragons". he played a couple of my things and he was pushing me to start sending out demos. that's been quite a while back now. he did start doing his radioshow again a few months back and it's a nice place to get response from. he loves music and not so much one genre - he is very critical though and he will only play something "on air" if he really likes it. |

0 (zereo). Maybe in 2 or 3 years. |

since you didn't say who that was pointed at, i'm gonna assume it was me (the threadstarter, twisted threadstarter) yes i know mine sucks, hence my reluctance to actually send stuff out.....maybe when my material isn't wholly based in Reason |

Zero It wouldn't allow me to put only 0 |

he seems really nice. i like his show. i sent him a remix for his remix contest but it wasn't selected as a winner. probably because it was incredibly long and not particularly good. |

since looking at the responses on here, i've only just realised.......my question was a really commercial thing to ask! :( you guys don't need labels. you don't need record deals. you make great music, you distribute it through the community and however else you do. you don't need a revenue from it, you do it for the love of doing it. i'm sorry - i kinda feel dumb for asking now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is really nice. his love for good music is really infectious. I tried making one of those remixes too, but I couldn't think of what to do with the source material. :( |

it's not that strange a question, surely. have you been sniffing at the Tipp-ex again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's break was so difficult to remix. mine was kind of noisy and weird. i would love to hear yours... i'm curious what it would sound like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's tipp-ex? is that a drug used by professional working women in the sixties causing gentle hallucinations like walking into a dali painting and having their faces melt as they walk through the desert? |
||||||||

giginger *shoots my head off in shame* i guess i asked the question because i feel that there is a lot of talent here, and i just wondered if anyone had gotten any success with regards to labels - i totally believe that a lot of you could get a deal. and no, i don't do any kind of drug/solvent abuse *turns up the nitrous oxide* what a lovely way to die |

i wish i had a more useful response, but i've only sent out one demo to a label, and received no response. i did send three cds of stuff to an established artist at his request after he heard an mp3 of a track (the one that was played on pomme's show), and he said he really liked the discs, but i'm still waiting for more extensive comments... he doesn't operate a label or anything so i don't imagine it will amount to anything, but it's nice to get positive feedback since he's one of my favorite artists... in general, though, zero commercial potential = no more demos going out... |

That's the positive outlook! |

some xltronic members are signed, and some desperately want to get signed... which reminds me, haven't seen oddioblender around recently... |
||||||||

oh, you mean white out (aka "wite out" aka "liquid paper"). that stuff won't send you to the desert, but it is affordable. |
||||||||
|
|

|

oddioblender is hard at work on music collaborations! i am working with him on a new "altrock" album at the moment. |

|
|
3 or 4 i think > and what kind of response (if any) have you had? I got 2 "record deals" - but one label went belly-up before releasing any of my stuff and the other one technically isn't a proper label (but i am still very proud). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that he's got a girlfriend, he doesn't need xltronic anymore... i recall he got a favorable response from beta bodega, they asked him to send more stuff... |

|
|
you mean that n5md sublabel? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I sent out one and didn't got a response. I met somebody who was starting one and i got a deal. |

avraditch gonzolesk.... :D |

None. I don't really know where I should send them. I'm lost and in pain. |
||||||||
|
|

I want to get a proper education in electronic music before I send any demos off. |
||||||||
|

Through various connections I'm getting a 1000 CD release on SlowFoot Records sometime soon. Which is rather excting-although the album isn't quite ready. I gave up on demos and just met people who got me to places. I've never posted music here because I'm not really "one of the gang" or whatever, and I reckon it would get ignored. And of course, people seem to have the misconeption that 17 year olds can't make good music. ;) |

post yuor music you cunt |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
didn't you do an ae remix? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1000 copies? that's a shitload of cds! I would think twice about getting that many pressed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never noticed any prejudice concerning age on here, get over it and post already! |
||||||||
|
|

It's the kidz who make the best music. Post your shit. |
||||||||
|
|

On that note, I'm days away from finishing my first EP thingy and I'm itching to get it up here... :D |

Get real guys, 17 year olds can't make good music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Unless you happen to be Richard James? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point. 17-year-olds really can't produce good music. it must be something hormonal. |
||||||||

at least 10, though ive simply forgotten a bunch. got a reply from imputor?, prospect recordings, narita, kranky, merck. all of which were good, and got deals on prospect (although just for one track) and recently relerased a 12" on narita. nothing tentative with the other two yet. all the others, no reply. toytronic was one i remember, cant remember the others. mostly if a label doesn't care they wont reply. on a few rare instances theyll reply if they think you have potential, of maybe they are just trying to be nice. friend of mine sent to MORR, and got a reply. no deal but it was nice of them to reply. |

most adults can't make good music either, though. most of any group of people can't make good music. good music is a tiny percent of the pie, imo. |
||||||||

PROVE IT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
What exactly did you send? An actual CD release or just a track or two? I want to whore some of my shit. |
