astralwerks faq

Hey, can you give me (fill in artist name)'s email address / home address / phone number? The answer to this should be fairly obvious. In order to protect the privacy of our artists, we do not give out their personal information for any reason. Why doesn't (fill in artist name) ever come to my city on tour? Astralwerks plays no part in booking artist tours. That is the job of the booking agent hired by the artist and the artist's management. A lot of factors go into how cities are chosen: how long the tour will be, size and availability of venues, production support, travel costs and more. While we appreciate your comments on this issue, there is little Astralwerks can do about it. I want to make electronic music. Can you recommend software, hardware, DJ gear and how I should start? Well, yes and no. No, we are not going to list hardware and software recommendations. Some would see that as an endorsement and we do not do endorsements. Yes, we will recommend how you should start: by not copying someone else. Experiment on your own and don't expect someone to tell you "how to make electronic music." I've got every single Astralwerks release ever! I've just finished a demo and want to know where to send it. Funny thing...our address is on every CD / LP / 12" we release. For the sake of this FAQ, here's the info about sending demos: 1) Please send your demo in either CD or cassette format. 2) Please include any pertinent information including your group name, track titles, names of members and any contact info. 3) It is best to limit your demo to three (3) of the best (your favorite) tracks, hopefully showing your diversity and vision. 4) Please, NO PHONE CALLS. 5) Our address is: Astralwerks Records A+R Department 101 Avenue of the Americas 4th Floor NY, NY 10013 Please keep in mind that we are a small label with limited staff, so do not expect immediate feedback. We will contact those who we feel show some potential.
