Get Your Tracks Signed—Demo Submission Toolkit

Are you sending demos and hearing nothing back? Are you struggling to keep up with the slog of managing sendouts in an already busy life? Are you sick of screaming into the void?

I’ve been there—juggling a full-time job, making music, and trying to break into my dream labels. I've developed a workflow that has allowed me to sign to my favorite labels, and even start my own, and I'd love to share that experience to help you navigate.

This Demo Submission Pack will help you:

• Know when your tracks are really ready

• Target the right labels

• Save time with a clear submission process that actually gets heard

Here’s What You’ll Get:

• Demo Submission Guide for busy producers

• Real emails that got my tracks signed

• Video walkthrough of me prepping an actual demo for sendout.

• Notion template to track your submissions and stay organized

Plus, if you’re not happy, I’ll refund you—no questions asked.

Who am I?

I’m Derek Ryan, a trance & techno producer with releases on FSOE, AVA, Outburst, Monster, and more. I’ve been remixed by Andy Moor and featured on compilations by Paul Oakenfold, Markus Schulz, and Solarstone. I also co-run Ascent Recordings here in Tokyo, signing top talent worldwide.

This pack distills over a decade of experience—both as an artist and label owner—into a toolkit that helps you get your music signed faster. You're getting proven strategies that took me years to develop and test, at a fraction of what I spent learning them.
