Yeah. I sent this label my songs in an e-mail and they replied with this... Hey what's up man? This is Neil ( the demon head ) Just replying to your mail. I have checked out your sound and dig it. It's electro-creative. If you are interested, we could promote your music, sell your music etc... We'll work this all out, and give you some space at the web page. Unfortunately, DHP is not at the luxury to pay artists to be on the label or anything like that. All we are able to do right now is work with artists mutually and build a relationship we can both benefit from. If you are still interested, get back with me when you can, and we'll talk about what we can offer eachother. DHP is a fast growing independent society and it's great to have people interested in it. We all make a difference. Thanks for your time, get back with me ASAP. Thanks. -Neil what should i do!?!?!?!?!!? |

I mean, if you sent your record to them, you must have know they were like this, so uhm, go for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah i didn't even send a record. I just sent my zebox site to random labels last night. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh, well to be honest, what's in it for you? then again, what is there to gain from electro besides a bit of fame and very little money. go for it man, grab life by the horns, who knows if you'll get another shot. |
||||||||

|

yeah man. I'm only 17 i can bum cash off my folks. I just want my shit to be heard by people that are into this kind of music. I'm sick of bugging my friends into listening to it. |

He said "It's electro-creative"!?! Tell him to stick some acid up his ass! Personally, I wouldn't bother with any of those web site music hosting things for anything other than getting feedback off other musicians... I've certainly never heard of anyone getting anywhere through one of those things - And there's often dark contractual stuff, like they'll own your music and be able to sell it for use in advertising and things... Don't know about that one... But I'm sure they'd be more than happy to use your music and not pay you anything! And the only people who'll hear it will be other musicians who are using them to host their music too. |

hmmm good point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, that's a very good point if you just want your music out there, then maybe it doesn't matter as much, but if you are looking for $$$, then maybe there are better routes to take |

"I've certainly never heard of anyone getting anywhere through one of those things - " then you need to look at more web site hosting site label things. a slew of people have been picked up by labels that were on web only labels and sites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
either way, I think the concern over a shit contract that you don't understand is legitament, so don't sign shit!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
send them some trracks you don't rreally carre too much about, see what happens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if this one outfit liked you, why wouldnt a proper label like you? granted i dont think those labels would tka ekindly to listen to a zebox site. send out some demos. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't seen any record label which didn't state they won't listen to mp3s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
look harder... planet µ- Oh & NO MP3's! rephlex- MP3's and website links are NOT wanted under any circumstances. n5MD- Please do not email us with links to MP3s. That just seems a bit lazy to us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most real labels want to get an actual demo from you, not a zebox site. many labels specifically say 'don't e-mail us links to your tracks.' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True - But I've found most labels you'd want to start out with are more than happy to accept mp3's - I noticed Warp, Mu and Rephlex won't, but they are really the biggest labels in the scene... It's actually not too common for them to sign an unknown artist purely off the strength of a demo - It's only happened to a handful of people - And now, more than ever, they'll really be looking for people with decent reps/track records first. I think the best thing you can do is send out mp3's to all the labels who are willing to accept them (remember warp and rephlex are getting 100's of demos/week - that's why they can't accept mp3's). Maybe send out a few CD's too - It's a good experience - It feels more like a proper finished product. |

that's what I said - look harder... I have not seen any record label which does not state they won't listen to mp3s. |

|
|
no, most labels don't accept mp3s. mp3s aren't very liable representations of your music - all kinds of stuff goes missing or gets added on in the encoding process. |

pff.. liable should read reliable.. |

if i were ever confident that what i had was quality, i'd be more than happy to send stuff out. but...i'm not. and i don't keep up with it regularly enough, i don't think, to actually know what to do with someone's attention once i had it. if that makes sense. *shrugs* and i have no idea how this really applies to what you were asking. just seemed like a good place to throw out some thoughts. *shrugs* |

thanx |

yeah I think I'm going to try sending out some demos to some more electro-friendly labels and seeing what kind of reaction I get. After looking on the "Demonhead" site I found that other than 'DJ Kick You in the Jaw' most of their acts are shitty metal bands. |

write them back and tell them you want $1,000,000.00 a year or they can fuck off !! |
