something i've always been curious about is how many demo's fledgling producers have sent out to labels before getting their first release.

i remember wolfgang gartner posting fourteen of his unsigned demo's to an upload site and thinking they were fucking good, yet hadn't been touched by labels. i suppose it's really a question of whenever you're good enough and targeting the right labels, but i'm just interested in the numbers side of things.

i never sent them out. just went into the record shops with the demos and got them to play them there and then while i was buying records. first tune witrh carbon recs was signed on second attempt.

in this modern age the best thing to do AFAIK (im not a pro) is to do the equivalent of what steelz did back in his heady heady days:

send them to beatport

It's a bit back in the day but for me I sent out hundreds of CDs to labels before I got a bite. I spent far more on demo mailing than I made in my first 3 releases combined
