AD Music Policy - Sending Your Demo CD's.

First off, DON'T SEND US, pop, country, jazz, trance, RnB, House rap or rock etc.... we're not set up to deal with those types of music, so please don't waste our time and your money by sending us anything other than instrumental electronic music. If you do other styles of music then try the following link to find places to send your demos.......

Band it A&R Newsletter: - Find out about A&R people at music companies world-wide, ready to sign new projects in your genre - every month! Your direct line to the international Music Business.

We only deal in instrumental electronic and chillout music.

(tip - to find a record label dealing in a specific genre of music. find artists in that genre and see which labels they're on. Amazon is a good tool as they list the labels in their CD info - or try the Bandit newsletter above.)

Secondly, don't ask us to go to a website to listen to your music - we wont, we don't have the time.

Thirdly, don't send us mp3's. They will be automatically trashed - CD's only with a brief bio and email address.

Okay, so you wanna send us a demo eh?

Well, that's fine, but there are a number of things you need to know before you do decide to send us your musical creation.

The music industry is a VERY difficult and fickle business. If you think you're gonna "Make it rich" or you're gonna "Be a star", then forget it - don't contact us.We're only interested in musicians who are passionate about their music and who are in the business of making music for "The long haul", because, believe this......" There is NO short road to success!"

Artists must be prepared to work with us, to accept that we are in charge of the music, the artwork, even probably their image. The artist must accept that they will be assigning the rights of their music to the record label and the publishing rights to a publishing company. That said, the deal we offer is a good and generous one.

Artists who stay with AD Music get off their butts and help us get the music "out there", because AD Music is an artist run label that has no room whatsoever for artist egos or tantrums, or musicians with attitude. Everyone is treated the same here - no huge advances (so don't order the big car if you sign a deal with us), no star billing - just the making of good music. Everything that goes out on the label reflects on everyone with the label. It's sort of a family, a co-operative. It may be business, but it's a personal business.

The rewards are being with a respected and established label in the genre with growing online, digital and retail sales and publishing with a major music publisher that, with a bit of luck, can yield some financial rewards.

So, if you send us your demo it will be listened to critically by a number of people to see if it fits in with AD Music's vision of electronica, chill out and synth electronic music (not dance). Even then, many factors will need to come together before we decide to put the album out.

Send us a demo CD, with full biography plus pics plus full contact details, including email (so we can let you know it arrived okay). We don't return demos....... if it's not what we want, we'll email you and give a brief reason why we don't want it, and the demo will be destroyed.

So that's it, if you still want to send us your demo, send it to the address below; CD's ONLY.
