Sending demos to record labels....

How do some of you go about it? I'm looking to start sending out a few tracks as demos and I haven't really had a proper guideline to follow so far on what the best way to do it is. I'm curious to hear about how some of you do it...

Any input appreciated :)

Use private soundcloud links, email it to the label's demo email or send it in to their soundcloud dropbox. Throw in a paragraph about you, the track and why you think the track is a good fit for their label. At the end of the day, all that matters is if the track is any good. Having friends who own record labels is a huuuuge plus as well :p

Skimming through your soundcloud, it looks like you are into that underground house sound, I have a friend who runs a fairly new, but active, record label which releases that sort of stuff. They also do a tonne of events and bookings in the area. If you are interested I can send your demo to them :D

Yeah with this one I have been using the private link, it's really my first crack at getting a track signed and it's much better than the stuff I have uploaded so far anyways. Just wanted to know kinda what else I should include in the email without sounding like a loser.

actually Kwal, i wrote an article about this for DJTT
heres the link

Record Labels 101: Winning the Music Lottery

its not an EXACT step by step but it should give you some proper insight.

Good luck
and PS....i have a list of labels i can send tracks to for consideration

That was a good article to read man! Funny enough, the only email I sent was to Gus @ Funktion here in Chicago lol. He is my friends cousin ^^
