Thanks for the interest in our labels. We enjoy listening to the demos we get, so don't hesitate to send something. Have realistic expectations though. Labels, even small ones, receive hundreds of demos every year and almost every one who submits a demo thinks their material is the best thing ever and that we should sit up and pay attention. So bare that in mind. Please read the suggestions below, carefully, before you send something.

1. We're not just into Electronic, we like Electronica as well :), actually we're quite broadminded and with two labels now we're widening our search. If you've got good material in any genre we'd be excited to hear it.

2. We prefer CD over cassettes and vinyl, so try and send us a CD. Don't email MP3's, that's just lazy.

3. Don't send us a URL where we can download your songs , we won't do it.

4. Please package your CD well before shipping. A broken CD does you no good.

5. Please don't contact us asking to see if we got the CD or if we listened to it. We recieve far too many demos to respond to everyone. Don't take it personaly. We WILL contact you if we are interested. If you don't hear from us, please continue to send us future demos.

6. Please include band name, contact name, phone #, email address, and street address ON the CD itself, AND on the packaging. We may loose letters and packaging may go adrift. Put your details on everything, a blank CD with great tunes will always remain a blank CD with great tunes.

7. A good looking package is important, make sure your demo is the best representation of your material.

8. We don't restrict ourselves to just local music. We're interested in great music, it doesn't matter where you're from.

9. We're looking for HARD WORKING artists/bands, preferably with the ability to perform the material live to support an album release. You have to be realistic, there's very little you can expect from an album if you can't get your message out to your audience, and playing live is best way to do that.

Make sure you read the submission guidelines before sending stuff to us. If you haven't read that stuff on the left we'll know just by looking at your package.

Please send all demo submissions to the address below, Look forward to hearing your smokin toons.
