Hangin' With Ho-Ju :: Episode 1.

Well, where to start... It's been a crazy old month here at Ho-Ju HQ... With many releases due out soon and my first remix coming up ( a tasty collab with FRIDGEJET fav. WoNK... , I have been kept busy with lots of label duties..... We are just putting the finishing touches to our upcoming DISCO BALLISTIC REMIX EP ....Following on from the success of the original EP from LAZY RICH ( Reached #12 on BEATPORT... ) With remixes by JAY ROBINSON & SUPABEATZ, THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, AQUILAGANJA & DIRTY POLITICS...This is already garnering big big support from around the globe from superstar dj's such as FAKE BLOOD, ANDY GEORGE & JAYMO ( RADIO 1 ), KEEN? (Local Hero's), DAN AUX, ONE FISH 2 FISH, DETBOI, ANIKI and many more....to hear a preview go here... Finally we have a huge EP coming up from THE SHOPLIFTA'S... this one features some amazing remixes from That Girl DJ, The CHeerz & your's truly with WoNK.... Stay tuned cause FRIDGEJET will be getting an exclusive sneak peek as the release date grows near...;)

Now, one of the questions i get asked all the time is... CAN I PLEASE SEND U A DEMO FOR YOUR LABEL...Now obviously this is a daily occurrence for me @ Ho-Ju. However, there are right and wrong ways to go about it...So i thought i would end this months write-up with the right way to do it.. ( or at least the way i like it done )

3 EASY STEPS TO PROPERLY SUBMITTING A DEMO FOR SIGNING...

1. Make sure the track is as close to finished as possible ( the amount of demos i get that are unfinished, unmastered, dodgy sounding bits of music is unbelievable.. DON'T SEND IT OUT TO LABELS UNTIL ITS FINISHED...)
2. Enclose some sort of BIO / INFO on who u r and previous tracks/remixes u have done ( not only does this look professional, but it also gives the label an idea of who they are dealing with...
3. If your track/s do not get signed , please resist the urge to tell them they wouldn't know a good tune when they hear one, and hope they fuckin die... ( As believe it or not i had once.. Dodgy Italian Producer with the initials ALEX P haha )... Chances are they may be interested in one of your future tunes...So thank them and always ask for feedback about your tune... It may help when submitting another tune.....

Til next month...
