A record label has a distriubutor who will get your tracks to all the stores. So you don't have to have individual contracts with every store on earth. They will (hopefully) market your tracks and get your tracks in the hands of bigger DJs and blogs.
These people basically do all the work that you wouldn't want to do yourself.
