How to send a demo to a tech house label
A good demo gets listened to. Here is what helps a track stand out when it arrives at a tech house label.
Five things that help
Send a finished track. A clean master in WAV or high quality MP3 is enough for a first listen. Rough ideas and unfinished drafts are harder to judge.
Make the first minute count. Tech house listeners decide quickly, so a strong groove and a clear hook early in the track help.
Keep the message short. Write the artist name, the track title, one line about the track and a working link. Two or three sentences about your background are enough.
Check your links. Make sure the download or streaming link works and that the track can be played without a password.
A finished track gets a fair listen. A rough idea gets a skip.
Which file should I send?
A WAV or high quality MP3 works, as long as it is the final version of the track.
Can I send a rough idea?
Hold off until the track is finished. An idea that is still being built is hard to judge on a first listen.
