With twin goals of conserving scarce resources and embracing digital technologies which are widely available, we will not be accepting physical demos any longer. From now onwards, please send us full lenght MP3 320Kbps exclusive download links to your music stuff, through: http://www.zippyshare.com/ to give us the posibility to listen it before download, or http://www.sendspace.com

Please mark your DEMO tracks as follows:

Send us download links with a covering email using http://www.zippyshare.com/ or http://www.sendspace.com to:

demos [at] progrezorecords [dot] com

We receive a significant amount of material so please allow a few weeks for us to respond. Unless there are unforeseen circumstances we reply to submissions.
Once we have received your demos we reserve the right to dispose of it as we see fit.

In response to writers and artists looking for advice about submitting demos we've prepared these guidelines:

We tend to prioritize listening to demos which have been recommended by people we already know eg. artist managers, a&rs from other companies, writers already signed with us, music industry etc. The thinking behind this is that there has already been a filtering process; someone else, whose opinion we trust, is endorsing your music.

If you do not have representation and have to send in an unsolicited demo, make the best possible case for your music. If you are an artist include links to web pages with reviews, biog and pic. If you want to write for others make suggestions of which artists you think are appropriate for you songs. Also have a look at our latest releases, to know if your music stuff fits the sound we are promoting.

New work by our existing writers is our first priority followed by the recommendations from our existing network of contacts. Hence it may take several weeks before we respond.

PRESENTING DEMOS

How many songs:

No more than 3-5 songs in case isn't album - if we like what we hear we'll ask you for more.

Level of production:

In theory if a track is strong enough, a simple bass, sinte and vocal or piano and vocal should suffice. The growth of high quality home recording equipment means that the industry's expectations of demos has been raised. Also you are trying to get noticed amongst established writers who have the facilities to produce high quality recordings. In our experience good production can help enormously as can a good vocal which suits the style of the song.

Different song styles:

If you are an artist you should have a coherent thread running though your material-though and the label latest releases. Anyway, this does not restrict you on genres necessarily, only need to perceive the way we are.

Format:

•We ONLY accept full lenght MP3 download links
•We will not follow convoluted weblinks which may lead us to viruses
•Please DO NOT send us physical demos ie cd/ cassette/ mini-disc
•Please DO NOT send us massive emails.

Feedback:

Please also note, much as we would like to, it is unfortunately impossible to give individual notes and feedback about submissions. This is partly because of the volume of demos received and partly because our main priority is giving feedback to existing writers on our roster. We will listen to materials sent in and if we feel we would like to explore your situation further rest assured we will be in touch in the next 15 days or before.

Please note that due to the volume of submissions it may take several weeks for your submissions to be reviewed or for your information to be logged on our system.

IMPORTANT! Takes enough time to check if your productions are properly for signing in the label. Do research about label music stuff and then approach us if you considered will not spam.
