A drum-heavy track. Don't Mess.

[Kaifeng]

To date, i've contacted many labels and i've got many responses sounding like "We like this, but it's not exactly what we're looking for.", but no bites yet. I've been really busy with school, but have been working on 2 new tunes that i hope will be done and mastered by mid august.

At the moment I'm considering releasing my music on those websites for independent artists kindof like cdbaby.com, unless i find a label to take on my music soon. I've been getting a lot of people asking where they can buy my music, so I want to have an answer for them soon ;- P.

teknorich, i appreciate the email!

and thanks for the comments little fella

I can see your point here... the music industry is becoming more fickle by the minute & labels seem to be very reluctant to take any chances on tunes that vere away from the mainstream expectancy - which is adifficult one to call...

At the moment your stuff has it's own identity, which is cool in maa book, but alot of artists - even the established one's - have had to change to what the crowd wants, or will buy - the crowd now dictates what the DJ plays n they get scared to play anything out of the normal expected structured format...

Anyways... bit of a blah there but you get my point - you only have to trawl thro 400 tracks at a download store to hear for yourself the sheer sameness that is going on

So... I have a couple of projects on the make - I don't run any lables I'm afraid - I'm the same as you on the school front, doing a degree n all - n if your interested in contributing some of your art to help with exposure then lemme know n I'll email you ma thoughts on the subject...

Groovy...

@ Kaifeng, good to see you on here mate :)

I'm surprised you haven't had more interest from labels for "Don't Mess", but I guess this track is quite unique, so maybe it is just too different for some labels to take a chance on. I did wonder if a couple of folks on this forum would want it for their label tbh. (Whaddya say, Oris?!)

It might be a good idea to release even just one track yourself (cdbaby etc) because then when you approach labels in future, you can show them a proven track record; that you released Track A on a particular website and sold 100 units etc. I'm sure that would improve your chances for future label releases.
