Okay, now that everyone is back from break, I have a question for the more experienced DJs out there. What is the best plan of attack to get various record companies to send you free promos? To give you an idea of my background, I've only been into DJing seriously for maybe six months, but I have a radio show on a college station which just got a power upgrade, expanding listenership to over 1 million. The station has a fairly big techno following, considering the general lack of raves and techno listening in Pittsburgh. Should I call? Should I write lots of letters? What's the best pitch to give them? Who should I be talking to, address letters to, etc? Any advice is appreciated. --- Michael Minnich inhuman+@cmu.edu "hardcore beats and funky rhythms" <finger me for my PGP key>
