how to get into a label?
yeah, probably the question most producers are asking themselves.
at the moment i'm totally sending out my stuff to every blog i know and also post it on forums (here and @ erol alkan) to send out the mp3 to people who will hopefully play it.
but how to get THAT release on a label? i wrote with lanceblaise (on this forum) about this topic, but i want to hear some other opinions.

find a label that is very similar to the type of stuff you are putting out. send it to them.
find if any of your friends are or know A&R people, send it to them...
dont be too hasty to post music online for free if you are looking to sign it. that can be a serious put off.

I know a couple of guys here in the UK friends of friends from back when I used to DJ who run labels, both pretty new in that respect but I am probably going down that route when i finally finish the ep I am working on, as for myspace if people add me on soundcloud i go check out their music if i like it and it corresponds with my tastes i add them for the networking side..
also on soundcloud there are a few groups looking for people to put up tracks which are not with a record label and they will try to help out, one called LDN for the UK is run by Colin John who also remixes tracks he is on myspace too, and another called Submit Your Tracks, I have also friended with 3-4 other record companies so far in the first week of myspace it's definately good for that
finding that myspace with soundcloud having my tracks and mixes on that page and any link i put up on a website directed to it helps get stuff listening to, definately try that route.
