Increasing the audience for your music with Facebook and dnldr

For new acts trying to get established in the music industry, there can be a lot of expenditure with very little return, especially in the beginning of your career.

Having a web site, distribution and marketing all cost money. Here's a checklist of what you might need as a minimum to get started, not in order of priority / importance.

1. Paypal account - you want to receive money, yes?

2. Website - for fans to connect with you

3. Email address - so you can contact DJs directly

4. Distribution - a place where you can store your tracks for people to download / stream them

5. Facebook - maintain a page and fan group

6. Marketing - budget or time spent publishing links to the web / contacting DJs / etc.

7. Marketiplace - a way to earn money from your efforts

All of the above is a full time occupation in addition to songwriting, production and your other committments this can be a real stretch on your time, with many artists becoming sucked into promotion as their main activity. The problem then? No new material.

Enter dnldr which is a combination of   1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 in one. For a flat fee of £32 GBP per month, you get everything to host, stream and store your music.

Background story behind this track
where the demo came from and more...

When Mark N Hopgood, producer known as PUMK2015 was going through his 80s tapes, alongside Spinach Vibes from Ronny was a tape he didn't remember. So it was time to dust off the old tape machine and have a listen.

The tape in question was labelled ( You Make Me ) Show My Love and marked with a master sticker in red and on the case was written Demo.

What happened next was the stuff of legend. The tape played wonderfully and it all started coming back to Mark, aka Oncle Gilbert, Record Producer for Fade File Publishing. It was an old demo he had put together many years ago, before he'd even had a track played on radio.

So this demo has now been sent off for re-recording and mastering with Mark's favourite female vocalist "rinewolve". Stay tuned for the release. In the meantime, here's a recreation of that initial play of the demo itself, never before heard until now.

So for your enjoyment we present the rediscovered, previously lost and hidden demo of the forthcoming track ( You Make Me ) Show My Love, exclusively via YTX Factory.

Of course this is just a story. What really happens is up to you.

While going through his 80s mix tapes, what he found will astound you....
