I got a response from Moonrising Records

I didnt get signed but they had this to say about Crossroads

Hi Benjamin

Thanks for sending us your new demo! I like how it starts...bassline seemed sudden, though. Some great sounds in this production.

"I felt that the transition at 2:47 was too sudden/didn't have a big impact. Unfortunately, the melody is mildly cliche for me. Happy vibe and a cool atmosphere, but it's missing the x-factor we look for.

However, this was well produced and I really hope you won't be disheartened, and do send us your new tracks in the future!

Best,

Cool!

Even though they didn't sign you they said it wasn't too bad and found some good things from it. Keep up good work man :wink:

Nice stuff

I only had one response for my demo, it was last year from Scantraxx, when I sent them a hardstyle track. Didn't get signed either :lol: But The Prophet wrote me back himself, and he gave a good critic about the demo

yo, no problems, man.

A big part of your success is also your self-criticism and that you accept the critics of other people.
So good luck! Maybe next time you will get what you want. You already achieved a lot so keep producing and sending demos to labels =)

I hope the same for you! That would be cool, 2 producers from a forum such as this making it into the recording industry!

I would never dj, it's a skill of its own that requires practice just like anything else.

I'm a musician, not a disc jockey.

Shout-outs go to: SLK, Hard C. Pusher, Soul Train, Dream Guardians, Deepforces, Ic3m4n, Trance-Atlantic, and N.E.O.N. Project. Thank you for your supports and feedback.
