Demo FAQ / DP-6 Records
Where to send demo material?

The most convenient way for us is to get a letter to the email address dp6project@gmail.com.


What must be stated in the letter?

The letter should contain the following things –
1. Your real name and the name of your project. Quite often we get letters in which it is impossible to understand who the author of the track. It often happens that the name of the author's letter does not match the name of the file and the tag of the MP3. This is wrong.
2. Biography of your project or links to sites where we can read about you, your previously released tracks and labels, where they were released.
3. Links to your tracks.
Do not send only one track - we rarely produce one-track releases. In the best case should be 3-5 tracks at once.
These works will determine your style and sound, so it will be possible to choose the most successful works. We usually recommend to place files on sendspace, or on another similar service (unless of course you do not have a website), which does not require a long pause between downloading tracks.
You can also send your tracks directly to our email.


What should be the files?

The best option would be MP3, 320KBs.
When the track sounds good pleasure to evaluate its quality and understand that it is really suitable for publication.
Small pieces of track in poor quality will not say anything, you will have to send it again and in good quality.
It is important - we publish the tracks and are not engaged in processing and mastering of the tracks. Tracks should be prepared for publication, refined and arrange. It should be a ready version.
Also, do not send your versions and remixes of other people's tracks without the knowledge of their respective owners.


How often to send a demo and how long to wait for an answer?

It is desirable to send a demo no more than once a week.
We usually answer the letters also within a week.


Which style is suitable for DP-6?

In most cases we have to choose tracks guided only by our taste, it is difficult to assess the scope of the label - they simply do not.
The most important thing is the qualitative sound of the track, also it should like not only its creator))
Since the tracks are sold, but not laid out free of charge, we often have to refuse the publication of some tracks, which is good, but in our opinion will not succeed in selling.
As for style, it would be nice if it would be the work within the 115-130 BPM.
There are styles that we potentially do not fit, such as a drum'n'bass, trance, hardcore.


Where the tracks can be bought?

Beatport and Junodownload. Other stores have shown slight sales or did not pay the fees and we had to focus on the leaders of the market, those whom we believe in. Our aggregator Some Cutz Up Aggregation helps us with sending releases and with solution of all our problems.


What is the frequency of the DP-6 Records releases?

We produce the release of the directory DR no more than twice a month, usually on Thursdays.
At first releases are sold on Beatport - 8 weeks of exclusive sales, then they get into the Junodownload.


Artwork

We use our design only for all artworks.




Promotional mailing? Support?

In addition to publishing the tracks we use the power of Label Worx promotional system to send our releases as promo to interesting world and Russian DJs and to the leading radio shows.
Our label artists receive detailed reports, such as here -  Feedback Report

We keep track of the fact that the music did not go into the void and found its audience.
On the Downloads page is collected only a small part (but we are constantly updated) mixes, which included tracks of the DP-6 Records. There you can listen to exclusive mixes of our label’s artists.


Pirate links

It always pleasant when the tracks of our label sound in the DJ’s mixes and radio shows. We fully support such of the things.
In parallel, we are watching what is happening on the Internet and remove as much as we can any pirate links to releases of our label.


DP-6 Records Party

In 2011 we opened a series of parties of the DP-6 Records label, on which played artists of our label from Russia and CIS countries. The first guest was Underset (Krasnodar) - DJ, musician and resident of the DP-6 Records label.
