Demos wanted for DIY label


Let us hear you!

Hi all - I did a self-release a couple of years ago and set up my own virtual record label when I did.  For 101 different reasons I've not managed to finish and release any more tracks, I've only just finished a 2nd track that I've just scheduled for release.

Anyway, I figured I could put the label to some good use if any members on here had some finished tracks, that for one reason or another they have not released themselves, but would like to get put out there.

Style-wise, I'd like to keep the releases in the same sort of area as the stuff I plan to release myself, so it's very much in the House to Techno spectrum with a minimal/underground feel rather than the festival/EDM type stuff.  But within those boundaries I'm keen to get a broad range of styles out there, either club-orientated or 'listening' type tracks that are more laidback (Ibiza Chill, breakbeat, downtempo type stuff).

It's also very important to stress that this is very much a DIY approach.  I'm 100% NOT trying to make any false claims to be an actual record company - this is just my virtual label for putting releases on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

I'm happy to cover the small fee to release the tracks but any paid-for marketing or ads will be your own expense, or we could discuss maybe going 50/50.

The idea is to take on a shared learning experience on how to promote self-released tracks.  Any royalties that come in will be yours to take if you want, but the general idea would be to use any income to fund future releases/promotion.  It would be a very informal arrangement, you'd obviously not be signing over any rights etc and I'm happy to be 100% transparent on the financial front so you'd be able to login to iMusician to see the tracks performance.

So finally, if it's something you'd be interested in, let me know or if you'd like to have a go at doing it yourself I'd recommend iMusician as it was pretty easy to set up and I'd be happy to help you do that if you wanted to.

Cheers

Simon

DimensionX - Alpha - New track!


Let us hear you!

Hey @manixdj - I really like the track, and its a great sounding production/mixdown as well.  Did you ever release it or send out as a demo?

Great entries everyone!  I'm a sucker for a bit dub so double thumbs up to Smillington's track (reminded me of an old UB40 album; Present Arms In Dub)

Here's my entry: https://community.producertech.com/simon-unsigned/uploaded_audio/364/get-a-wriggle-on-sis-mix

Thanks for the link Rob, that looks pretty interesting and I'll be watching that later.

Here's another one that's very UK-centric and focusses on the culture rather than the music

I've not got around to importing the stems yet.  Are you using Ableton?  I know you can tweak warp markers to pull things into line, but I'm not sure how you'd do it in other DAWs.

Maybe cut the stems down into phases/loops?

It's proved difficult getting people available for a call on the same date and time so hasn't really taken off unfortunately - we could give it another try if a few of us are still interested...

Good books on Electronic Music

I've also got my eye on this, haven't read it myself but looks good - there's other versions for Moog as well

Patience pays off - first track published by a label


Let us hear you!

Track sounds really good - I really like the tribal feel and the vocal - great stereo width, really jumps out
