Well, the main thing I need help with is knowing which labels to send
demo tapes to. There are so many labels yet which ones will actually
consider listening to unsolicited tapes. Also, it would be nice to have
some idea what the different labels are looking for (techno, jungle,
ambient, house, etc.) since I don't own records from the majority of the
labels out there. If anyone can help me out with this send suggestions
to my e-mail address: smithem@yvax.byu.edu. I already have a few labels
that were recommended to me on USENET and I'll be sending out a tape
sometime this month.
Also, as long as this reply is going to so many lists I'll give a plug for
my e-zine "imr". I cover a wide spectrum of music including some stuff
that may relate to the list you are reading. If you'd like a subscription
send the message "bpm" to my e-mail address listed above and your
subscription will start with issue #29 (June). Also if you're a label or
artist you can contact me for more details about the zine and the printed
zines it is associated with.
