its not beatport but its my first charting on a download site so im chuffed to bits:D

also found a few torrent links to my remix too which also made me happy for some strange reason.:D

Well done, fair play. Good to see someone having a go and succeeding. Nice sound aswell and i'm not into that kind of music at all.
Best of luck

wouldnt have a clue.its not alot i imagine.the best one to be one would be beatport but **** it audiojelly will do me for now .
when you get paid(usually every 6 months they do a breakdown of what your track sold but until then i dont think theres a way to find out

if i may ask another cheeky question? how much money if any do you expect to make of releases? I know that producing dance music doesnt exactly break the bank these days but is there any money involved at all? Im not money hungry by any means just curious?:P

its all relative to sales really.most splits are 50/50.50 to the label 50 to the producer.obviously if you sell loads youll make more.the better label your o the more chance of you selling more.
my first release was on a crap label so it didnt get much exposure.couple that with the songs being absolutely ****e and i made a grand total of 40 dolars ha ha ha:D:D

i only sold a few hundred copies and my split was only 25% but yeah hardly quitting my day job with that payday.
i have since refused to sign tracks to labels unless i feel they can promote my stuff better.but i also havent sent out a track to a label really bar one or two irish ones.
this has meant feck all original work coming out but im doing alot of remixes.

well maybe not,my first release was really awful but yours might do well.i know jtsuiteds first release had a good few users also bught after it which is a good indication it sold well.plus it was on a good label and got played by some pretty big djs.
like i said theres alot of factors involved.the hardest part is people actuslly listening to your tracks on the download sites.aot of people dont go digging at all and only go by dj charts or top 100 charts unfortunately.
