ave probably found out that it can be hard to get noticed. This is because there is lot of other musicians out there just like you, all trying to do the same thing - get noticed. If you believe your music is great, but no one is paying attention to it then this solution may be for you. It will work especially great if you are an dance, hiphop, electro music producer as you will already be familiar with the concept of remixing.

On the internet there are lots of Remix Contests floating around. Bands and labels run these remix contests to get remixes of their tracks usually for the B-side. They do this mainly so they can get a remix done for free but it is also a way of getting exposure for the band and label. If you believe your music is good enough then you should be able to win one of these Remix Contests quite easily. Many have less than 100
entries and also have a lot of music making newbies entering. You just have to put in a bit of work at first to create your remix, but you will probably gain a few music fans by doing this and reap the rewards later. Remixing is also pretty fun to do.

The trick is in picking the right remix contest. To do this you need to pick a contest which if you win you will definitely get exposure. This could be for example the winner getting a digital release next to the original in online music stores. So should you win your remix is going to get free exposure. The artist who's track is to be remixed in the remix contest needs to be popular and most important of all, the fans of this artist should be of the sort who would also love your music. There is no point in remixing a hip-hop rapper if you make cheesy trance music.

This is how a lot of music fans find new artists and bands by looking at who did a certain remix. I am sure you have even done this yourself. You've liked a track by BandX, then heard the remix and loved that even more than the original and then gone on to check out the artist who done the remix and liked them more. You can find out who did the remix just by looking at the name of the remix.
