Have you ever send your records as demo to any label ? I'm curious cause i want to send mine to Warp , but i dont know if would be better to send it to some smaller label first...

yes, it would be better.
bigger chances and Warp seem to use smaller labels as their A&R department nowadays.

and follow it up with a phone call. Even small places get loads, sometimes you have to pester them a bit to get some feedback...

Send it... you can always send more and they might remember you and give it more time.
by the way the classic reply is: "Interesting... let's see how it develops"

"Interesting... let's see how it develops" or "thank you , we will contact you in future". .... i wonder why they cant just say " we didn't like it , buzz off "

On Cex's website he advises that nobody send their demo out until they've been doing music for 2 or 3 years. He could well be right.

My plane is to release something on my own, yet non-existing, label and then pass copies around to different labels...
