Sent out my first dub

Post by Immerse » Mon Mar 12, 2012 5:45 am

I just got finished with the first song I could deem worthy to send out to a big name, and just got finished writing out an email to darkside (go big or go home! :lol: ). I have read the Dub Sending Etiquette thread and picked up some helpful hints there to getting my track listened to. I was wondering if I could get some tips on what has worked personally for yourself and tricks you've picked up while sending out tunes to DJ's or Labels that has helped getting them noticed. For example, specific DJ's or Labels that seem to email back more often, how to go about finding email addresses of people to send dubs to.. etc..
I'm pretty clueless :dunce:

Anything really would help, thanks ahead of time fellow heads. The track is in the sig if you're interested in checking it out. :Q:

Make sure to push it to labels and artists that support or push a similar sound. No point sending a track like that to someone like Youngsta or a label like chestplate.

up to you really. we had a plasticman in the sound who got really large, but he still changed his name to plastician since there is already a rather huge plasticman.

it's kind of your own fault if you didn't check before setting up your facebook, soundcloud, youtube etc.

a simple google search is the best way to check.

Discogs is probably one of the better ways to go around stuff.

I checked google and soundcloud before creating my name, but then I found out there's already a Sonika who makes dubstep and is signed :( he just spells his soundcloud username as S0n1ka
