There will be a new website opening exclusively for electronic music artists which will allow them to send their songs to the website and have them judged by an Artist & Repertoire(A&R) Agent for an electronic record label of their choice. This website offers anyone to submit their music for a price and receive feedback from a record label. Anyone will be able to submit their music provided it is appropriate and structured.
Do you think there will be much of a demand for this website
amongst the electronic music community?
The more hype it gets the faster it will be done!

Indeed this sounds more like a business plan than really helping out talented artists (who often have nothing to spend - the hobby with all its equipment is pretty expensive). It might work though, but there are too much free possibilities on the net.

From my experience: just start of small and keep letting a certain scene see you play regularly. Get in contact with other artists (large or small), venue holders, booking agencies and use social media to your advance. If it works, it works. If it doesn't you'll probably never make it, because the electronic dance scene is simply full (and not so thriving like 10 years ago).

Good luck though :)/>

It does sound like a good idea except for the price! If you want feedback on your productions, you can go about it by a number of ways, but in general, if you send your music in a press pack to alot of labels and promoters, bloggers etc. and hear nothing back, then that is a sure way of being told your music is not yet up to scratch. If your music was up to a quality that someone replied, then you know your on the right path :)/>

A few things i would be concerned about is the viability of the feedback, how would i know it is un biased or not based upon some other factor?

Maybe for the producers that are unaware of how to get noticed, this seems like a possible route?

This is just in my view though :)/>
