There's definitely a market for more experimental stuff you just have to do a little more research. Maybe check out the labels on boomkat.com, they've got a lot of really experimental EDM stuff. Personally, I love to hear stuff that's unique and experimental in nature..so keep it up...the world needs more artists like that
Skull Disco have ended now they're not doing anything new (last I heard) but I am totally with you - stuff what pushes the boarders of 135-145 bpm in new ways what i have not heard before always makes me love dubstep again and it feels like it did when I first got into the scene back in 05.

No advice I'm afraid, just wanted to say that tar paper landscapes was on constant repeat on my mp3 player for about a month. It was one of the main things that got me into dubstep/glitch hop, so epic props!

great tunes, exactly what I need in the morning. cherry blossoms is great but I have to admit I was sort of disappointed when the vocals came in.

I only heard one tune so far.... but it was totally on the money. Planet Mu should always be your first port of call. Also make yourself known to Rob Booth on soundcloud (and on here). Good luck!! expect to hear you in the club soon.

I feel ya. I'm currently tuned into Cherry Blossoms, and I really dig it. I'd play the hell out of it. Often. There's definately a place for your stuff in my bag. You got a ton of talent kiddo. Just keep doin what you do, good things are coming your way I'm sure.

I really wouldn't worry about being "too experimential", just (forcibly if needed) get as many people hearing your songs as you can.

Thanks a lot for the label suggestions.. I think I'm in a bit of an awkward place as I'm not experimental enough for labels like Black Acre or Planet Mu, but too experimental for other ones. Heh. I found http://www.dubstepdirectory.com and I'm slooooowly cruising through the list.
Hey !!
