--> I am starting my journey to the internet promotion of my music. I just redesigned my website to simple and informational but still giving of a the vibe I feel like my music is in line with at the moment.

I am starting by blogging here about it cause I know a lot of you have their music out there on pod casts and net labels or own pod casts and net labels. I started thinking of it the other day that I am getting a lot of hits from the pod cast I'm already on and would love have it on more, or maybe have a net label throwing my music around for me or how ever those things work. I did some searching and one of my songs "Jingle Bells" on a hippocamp christmas release is all over the place.

What I hope to find on my journey is pod casts and net labels that seem to be good spots to put my music. Good spot being mixes well with the style they have, music or image.

Now I don't know much about either of these except that the one pod cast I'm on was as easy as an email, and that hippocamp thing was from the likes of EM411. Other than that I have not clue.

SO
1.Does any one have any recommendations for pod casts or net labels that fit my style?
2.Anyone know how to approach things of this nature, is it wild west deal or is it more appropriate to do it like a demo to a record label with press kit and shite?
3.Any other good info I should know about my journey?

My new website link and it has some songs too.

I appreciate any help, Thank you

nice site, looks like a pron design.

i would say approach it as professionally as possible, netlabels that is. i have been asked before to send a cd demo to a netlabel before, overseas. i did it. but in retrospect it seems kind of silly. pay overseas postage, cd, packaging, etc. so a label can release my songs for free as digital files? i think a simple link to my website should've sufficed.

i like your website. a nicely worded email, one that has been edited and proofread by a good writer that you may know, can help. even just a second pair of eyes to catch spelling mistakes can be helpful. put in a link to your site of course and that should be enough for most netlabels. if they ask for a cd in the mail i think they are just ego tripping a bit.

i haven't been listening to a ton of electronic music these days, but i know there are a few link databases of netlabels you can comb through. some even with genre classification.
