Hello there i am searching for a label to join,but my tracks are not 100% chiptune.
Is anyone out there who can help me on that?
This is my track...Do you think that it can join 8bitpeoples label?
(basicly its clip of the full track)

8bit Peoples are very selective with their musical choices, and you're relatively under heard of. You've also only released two tracks, is this correct? Generally labels, of any kind, look for something more than two tracks.

Your music should take precedence over getting recognition from one of the most respected 8bit net labels.

So, basically, no I don't think you can join 8bitpeoples, but you might someday if you write more and build a fanbase. The market is over-saturated with netlabels, and I don't think they serve much purpose other than circle-jerking. If your music is good, people will listen to it.

I think Mr Shallow is right in assuming 8bitpeoples won't take you on, but that doesn't mean no labels will. Just look around and send some demos out. Good places to start looking include: 8081, noisechannel, DMG Control.

Bit out of you league, no offence. I still wouldn't say don't contact them though, I just wouldn't get your hopes up. Take a look through other label's catalogues of releases, if you can see you music sitting alongside the other releases cohesively then it is likely they'll at least consider you.

You should definitely send your stuff to BleepStreet.

It might also be a good fit for Love & Tonic, if you want to try that:

In that case, sending out to places like TWG (my) blog or the Chiptune=WIn blog/page, maybe Videogame DJ's too, might help you get extra traffic. If they like your stuff they WILL write about it. Also ,most labels aim for pretty substantial CC licenses, everything we upload at TWG and Pxl-Bot are on CC BY-NC-SA. (for example)

Some labels license their releases under CC, but most? What's the rationale behind releasing everything under CC on TWG and Pxl-Bot, anyway?

To ease the minds of artists we release with. I know as well as anyone it won't really make a difference if someone wants to flaunt the license, but it helps people sleep apparently. Also it's not a huge amount of effort to do it so there really is no reason for us not to.
