Are you serious mr Adam Sheridan??

[Genesis]

Raneem, Bonko's right.

Try to target smaller labels where your releases can get more exposure and
not get over-shadowed by big names that might be hosted by them labels.
You want an online label as those labels can get to the majority of audience
since online downloads are now dominating the scene.
However, you want a respected label that has its connections and marketing
policies that would help you get to were you want with your tunes. No disrespect
to anybody or any labels, I'm sure many work hard and many start from the
bottom of the ladder but you want an established label that knows what it's
doing and not a label run from the bedroom.
There are many of them labels so be selective. I know in your situation you'd be
sending tunes everywhere to get a signing but you're wasting your effort and
morale on labels that might not even look at your package.

I can recommend one for you that is behind really very good names today. Not
huge names, at least not in the Uplifting Trance area of things, but they're open
for everything of good quality. It's owned and run by a trance legend and he
takes it on him to promote and support upcoming talent.

They've released for Viscid, Whirloop, Steve Birch, Digital Blonde, Anton
Chernikov, Beetseekers, Stardesign, CiberianSun, Viscid, Incolumnis, and a lot
more that I simply can't remember right now. Yes, they're not a big bang, but
doing really well and are behind many other names that I might not even know
of.
John 00 Fleming runs the show down there and he knows the business and the
scene inside-out. The man's been around for over 20 years and you can't go
wrong with his label. Yes, they're underdogs compared to Armada or Vandit or
ayre... but give it a try. Just hope they can get to listen to it because they
receive over 400 tunes a week from talent all-over. You only have one shot at
it and they will most likely listen to it so make the most of it.
They've got the backing of everybody - MoS, Euphoria, Crasher, Godskitchen....

(oh, don't send samples, they hate samples. They simply throw them away.
Send full tunes, plenty of them...)

You guys are 100% right.
I never mentioned that I'm only trying with big labels, though. I already got a track signed with Proxoz Recordings (www.proxoz.org), and my next track (progressive tech) is being in discussion with another small label (owned by Michael Angelo). I actually send all labels i know my tracks (big and small), but I only expect replies from the small ones.
The topic's purpose however is just to show how the scene works lately. It's not 100% about quality anymore, it's about contacts. You know Tijs's or Armin's management (or the man himself), then great, you're there!
Although Armin has a public FTP server where all new producers can upload their new tracks, he's being very selective when it comes to names.
Too bad it's like this nowadays.

Btw, Bronko, the strategy you mentioned of getting signed and then getting remixed by a big name is being (or will be) in process.
More "surprises" from my side are hopefully coming soon!

But thanks guys (Bronko & Gen) for your time ! I really appreaciate it!
I will make sure to try Joof's label Gen for my next production. I Always send full tracks in 320 kbps.

Raneem ...Ur Tracks in the Near Future will Hit the Armada and BlackHole Recording

[TranceFusion]

Gen and Sam said it all you have our support Raneem!

[A-Cube]

Two words: keep producing/remixing...

Or all the effort you have put in all your other tracks to produce and develop them will wash away...

Screw the big labels...we all know where the quality is found...

Raneem habibi bek shee? a3sabak!
no need to get mad, afterall Armada, Armin, Tiesto, Ferry and everyone else got the freedom to choose whoever they want in their label.. isnt this their right?
and what did happen to the music industry nowadays? it has always been that, dont you think Armin, Tiesto and all the rest suffered the same when they started as you are now? heck they even didnt have a proper category of music to produce under.. also let's not deal with the business side of music, should we always repeat the same answer? everything revolves around money, when you get professional then THIS WILL BECOME YOUR JOB AND SOURCE OF INCOME whether you, me and everyone else like it or not!
nothing is easy my friend, but no need to start insulting producers whom you dont like their outcome, after all it's normal to hate more stuff than what you'll like.. just ignore, move on and focus your energy on producing stuff you like
