Ah well just do that then if you want, but its best to put down inspiration and equipment usage, plus if you have used samples off a sample disc you have to put the credits down for that |

ok.....i will get typing just for you |

When I'm in California I love watching Sealab 2021, We don't get it in England. This is off topic tho so I shall close my mouth. ...There go my nipples again. |

RE: Documentation Different record labels ask for different things. It'd be worth checking each one out individually as it won't be so obvious it's a mass mail :) Some are also picky about format (MD only etc. so again have a look first). Make sure you include your name on the CD as well as the documentation, so if they get split up they will know who you are. |
||||||||

Ceri more or less got it down to a tee |
||||||||
|
|

toytronic records have a lovely site http://www.toytronic.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I know, I did think a good idea for an internet startup company would be for a fee you send out copies of an artist's work on the correct format with the right documentation etc. to however many record labels they're prepared to pay for. Then I decided: a) Most starting bands are poor, hence no money in it. b) Labels would get wise to the format you used for documentation etc. / brand of CD you used etc. so you'd have to cycle them regularly, thereby losing out the benefits of doing it "en masse" whihc is how a company like that would make a profit. |

man! 50-100 labels... i've send only 6 so far myself... but i don't think anyone listened to the cd because of my retarded letter included with it... anyway, best of luck teapot! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think i can really do any better than the 30 i found... you only sent out 6? who too? i dont really plan on any form of letter either.. im gonna be enigmatic hah! |

thad1us@yahoo.com (ill start with you on my lable) |

I hope you get somewhere with this, from what I've listened to your really quite talented and deserve to get stuff released. Good luck with everything! |

warp rephlex skam (tanks to you...) ninja tune tellé sähkö (a finnish label who originally got jimi tenor, pan sonic etc...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i won't get depressed if i'm don't get signed. i'll just keep releasing the records myself/with my friends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rephlex hate documentation. dont send any bio or anything. just a cd with your name and contact details is best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, that's what i did. "save the trees" they say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheh yea i know what you mean kaimo... i plan on my first 'official' album asap whether i get any luck or not :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes that's the spirit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even if it's a small release try to make it sound/look the best you can. homemade releases kick butt. if they're done right... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and with soul. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and then once you're discovered you can start selling the homemade albums for $700 on ebay. So be sure to save some extras. |

im goin to be sending out demos too... are all of these IDM sites? it seems very varied... for example... ninjatune wouldnt be interested in my stuff... because they are more into the hiphop/jazz/trip thing... so if im doin ambeint electronic music, but with beats... kinda like autechre, BoC, and AFX combined... what labels would you guys recomend obviously : WARP SKAM MUSIC70 REFLEX ...any others? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just do em all man, you never know... you might get a response from the one you never expected... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know man... labels dont like to get styles that they dont release.. like someone said earlier... it makes you look like you are just sending them everywere (which you are.. heheh) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i have a he who dares wins attitude hehe |

Sealab is the funniest show in the world. On topic: I say send it to everyone! Maybe some will get listened to and some won't, but the more you send out, the more chance you get that someone will hear it and like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea and the normal person > idiot ratio is high enough too assume that somebodys gonna be stupid enough to sign me! if i send out 100... my chances of reaching that idiot, increase :) |
