How do u go about getting your tune played ?? FAO DJ Wire Etc...

Do people just get a plate cut, and hand it to people like Slimzee / EZ ???

Do they send them a CD of it, then EZ / Slimzee cut it themselves ???

I can't be arsed gettin a plate cut only to give it away to EZ after spendin £35 on it !!!

How do people normally do it ???

i dont think that ez would bother takin your cd to get cut. its more likely youd have to send him a copy.

Send them a CD, that's normally what people do. Or if you are lucky enough to know someone who knows the DJ you could give it to them

**ol dirty c**t** · 15-03-2002, 04:29 PM

i think that your more likely to get your tune played if u give them a vinyl copy especially with the big djs. the smaller djs u could get away with sendin them a cd.

if someone gave me a tune on a cd then the most i would do is listen to it but it wouldnt get played out -you (if you are lucky) may get notice by a label if they hear your cd but vinals the way foward

Ez has been known to play cds on his show on kiss

**KRAZY D** · 15-03-2002, 04:41 PM

tru but its not an often occurance - if someone gave u a cd would u mix it? or just listen - it would have to be something special for me to blend it ( or is it just me who isnt feelin this whole cd mixin $$$$)

**crackfiend** · 15-03-2002, 04:43 PM

i dunno i only play cds during a club warm up if its empty just to get a feel of how tunes may sound on system so i can give some feedback to the producer

**ol dirty c**t** · 15-03-2002, 04:44 PM

so do i!

**KRAZY D** · 15-03-2002, 04:48 PM

i like it

i would love to stay and chat ladies but im a buzy man and have to go now see ya

**Harley** · 15-03-2002, 05:14 PM

Cool - I'm gonna send out some CD's next week !

**Race** · 15-03-2002, 05:19 PM

I wonder if you could send a CD with ya fone number or something, and if the DJ likes it then get em to call ya or summink, so you can press it up and get a copy?

Just a thought

**crackfiend** · 15-03-2002, 05:22 PM

i was gonna suggest to send a cd for feedback purposes an if u get positive feedback send those djs if they are of a high stature such as ez, fonti or slimzee a dub

The Wire track was given to Ez on dub plate in person.

DJs get sent some many tracks, there unlikely to go and get it dubbed themselves. You cant play CDs out any many venue, so if you have a reall good track go to the effort of getting it cut. Obviously only do it if you think the DJ will like the track, or is the sort of thing he would play.

Ez does play CDs out on his show, but it would have to be espically good or from a big name producer to get played.

Altough some DJs went to the effort of getting the Wire track cut themselves. But this was mainly after Ez had been caining it.

hope this helps

edwards

Darkstar - Expect the T.P's very soon.

If you are short 4 cash, send out cd's with your details & note that if they like what they hear, contact you & you could cut them a plate. The worst thing you could do is spend £35 on a plate & it does'nt get played.

Darkstar, there will b a CD player linked in @ Able 2 Dance / UK G FM B'day Bash and there will be some industry peeps there so i recon go with CD until yeh get feedback !

**DJABLE** · 16-03-2002, 12:04 AM

is there a cd player there?

**Gez** · 16-03-2002, 12:16 AM

i got my mates tune cut on dub for slimzee because he liked it

we then gave it to him in person, he didnt ask us to do it. but we did because otherwise we would have sent him the cd and he wouldnt have bothered with it

hes played it on rinse a few times and it has been gettin good responses. hes also given sum decent feedback for it

if u know that people like it and would play it, then cut a dub and give it to em in person. if u dont know then send em a cd and if they say they like it, ask em if theyve cut it on dub yet and if not do it for them and give it to em. that way ull stand out and ur doin the dj a favour by cuttin it for them, theyre more likely to play it than if they just have a cd.

Wicked - thanks for all you Ideas, I think you all have good points, what I'll do is do what a few said - send a CD with contact details if they want a dubplate of it !

Cheers for the feedback Mr Matt Lamont ! - Yours is especially helpful as yourself would be one of the people I send a CD to !
