totally agree. good music always gets through...always.
the question is how much work and how long a graft are you're willing to go through to get your name out there? what are you bringing to the table thats different and stands out? a lot of people just want to sit at home and click buttons on myspace/fcbk and think that they'll be sensations by the morning with worldwide acceptance. that can happen for maybe 3 or 4 people out of 1000...but 98% of the others won't be that lucky.
these trains of thought don't really work....
make demo tunes>send these tunes to the biggest dubstep labels on myspace(even though you've not met any of those people in real life or even tried to establish a relationship...just "here's my cdr. listen to it")
make demo tunes>send them to all the big dj's calling it "the most gangster shit you've ever heard" in the email while eating a bowl of soup and wearing knives and bandannas on your myspace.
this is better...
make tunes>send them to friends>get feedback>more work on them>send them to a local dj to see its response in a local club while you're there watching>refine tunes some more>send tunes to one specific big name dj that plays a similar sounding style>see if you get feedback>if not, send to another big name dj>go to parties. go meet people and drink with them. if you don't live near a big party, get a job and get your shit together.
most people are lazy, straight up.
