Love these videos! Could you do a video about running a label? Would love to know more about the steps involved e.g. using distributors, contracts, promotion and marketing etc.
I normally check the label releases for that one. If they have been releasing only singles then there's your answer! 1 track should do it. Most labels are going to like 2-3 though, shows you are in it for the long haul.
you can still contact labels, but for producers like us i hit up labels as a side thing but focus on making ARTIST CONNECTIONS fhats ur ticket, not even just business shi, but just personal music friends and find artists that got a good sound, but u notice use like YT type beats etc., and when working with them, dont just send beat and call it donr, work with then and listen to their feedback, bc thats what makes the difference because having a producer, and grabbing type beats off yoututbe. you gotta make them realize why you are needed. i love dropping secret saice on the alt account i feel like a spy innis bit💀
Pitching to one label at a time every two weeks is not really great advice. If you have two labels or three or four interested in you it only benefits you. They used to call that bidding wars. That's how you actually get a good deal . I would take this advice with a grain of salt.
'they used to' is the key part here. Not sure what genre/era you're referring to, but the current electronic music scene, specifically house music does not work with this.

How many demo songs at a time is ideal to send to a label? Is one single enough or should you always give 2-3 or more options?

This video has been so great! I'm prepping to send out a pack of demos to labels like LTF and Altra Moda. Thanks a bunch for this.
Nice one, great advice in here
I have the same problem. Making track I don't play in my sets. Fine-tuning and fixing that! atm.
Golden info my man
appreciate the honesty
Great video! I'm always sending dropbox link, is that bad?
Great stuff here thanks Josh
When sending a demo songs. Is it okay to send your released song or it must be a unreleased song?
if you've released a song, its not a demo.
How about as a producer, how do i send beat

When is the best moment to send my demo?
Whenever the music is ready!

I know this is totally unrelated, but it pains me to see that Prophet so out of reach lol
