I think the more you put yourself out there the more results you will get, that's for sure. Do all you can to get your stuff out there. With the net, it's considerably easier to send your stuff electronically. But you have to set yourself apart from everyother guy/gal doing the same you are. There are more and more DJ's/Producers everyday it seems. I'm not sure how you go about getting your work heard.
It's much easier to approach other DJ's and find out who they are with becuase they can actually hear you play. I'd say keep your eyes and ears open for those conversations happening in the background. I found staying in the same hotel as the headliner or event coordinator can increase your chances.
I was never able to sign with a label, but I from what I understand you don't need a manager for that. They buy the rights to your track, promote and distribute it and you collect a royalty... if there is any.
