Music2Mix to Media2Radio an EG evolution from DJITM (DJ In The Mix)
From About.com/dance music/electronica’s article “Billboard Dance Music Summit 2006 – Las Vegas Wrapup”. original article (click the link)
“But what good is exposure if there are no sales?” According to Tamara Conniff (Executive Editor/Associate Publisher – Billboard), over 60,000 CDs were released last year, with 40,000 of them selling less than 100 and only 100 selling more than a million. How are those odds? Digital downloads are clearly the answer for sales. Eddie Gordon (Music 2 Mix) predicted this on a DMS panel more than five years ago to an almost dismissive audience, stressing the importance of building a relationship with the audience and a database of everyone that buys your music. As head of Neo Records, Eddie realized that if he knew who bought the first Darude single “Sandstorm”, he would have a better shot of selling them the second Darude single…

You have been great!! Very professional, courteous and kind. You are a breath of fresh air with so many phony people around…. I plan to keep working with you on many releases..
Andy (MAXROXX)
Thanks for getting our Pamala Stanley – “The Bank of Love” release out into the hands of your members today. It’s very cool observing how your program works. The initial feedback is fascinating. Actually, the whole media2radio concept is quite unique and marvelous.
I’m very happy we got onboard and it certainly seems like we’ll get some real mileage through your efforts to promote this new Pamala Stanley release. We’re very grateful to media2radio for what’s been done already, right from out of the Starting Gate. We’re looking forward to tomorrow and the days that follow in the wake of today’s great kick-off. Thanks so much.

Hey guys, I’d like to thank you for the great work you’ve done with Spaced Invader. It’s gotten into the right hands, the feedback is incredible and it’s shot out of the gate on Beatport with excellent sales already. Basically, yeah, the song rocks… but you guys do as well 😉 Sincere thanks and I look forward to doing more with you guys!

You guys are the best at with you do in my experience. I’ve used several other promo companies and by far I’m the most pleased with your data presentation, follow up of charts and reviews, length of promo support, and customer service. All for a great price.
DJ Joey-O USA
The website is so easy to navigate through and the staff have been really great to work with. I appreciate having another source to find great music.

I love what you guys are doing. You really are helping to change the face of music in a very positive way.
Graham Sahara Seamless Records
We are very happy it has had a very positive effect on sales as well, so we will be using M2R again 100%.
Robert de Fresnes (Cubit & Kontrol Records)
Media2Radio provides a great service to labels and producers alike in a time when the music industry is needing to seriously adapt and re-think new and cost effective ways of promotion. This kind of radio promo would normally cost much much more. I still can’t beleive the sheer range of stations and DJ’s that I am reaching worldwide with the help of Media2Radio. In a nutshell you’d be mad NOT to use Media2Radio!
Gerald at Nice+Smooth
Media2Radio was a Godsend for us, the campaign they created for the Roy Davis Jr. Album release, “GodLifeMusic”, knocked it right out of the park. Highly recommended for anyone looking for serious global airplay. Full marks, 10/10.
Ralf Gum, GoGo Music
I was very satisfied with your work and the feedback I received. I will use your company for key releases in the future again.
Carl Kennedy, Wasted Youth
M2R is one of my most important factors in my quest of pushing and promoting the music for Wasted Youth. I feel grateful to be part of the team and gives me great satisfaction knowing my artists will be pushed around the world.
Judge Jules, BBC Radio 1
Media2Radio is up there with iTunes, a true pioneer.
Joseph Stopps, MoFo HiFi
With Mash It Up I sent the track to Judge Jules by all obvious routes via Dylan, Judge Jules.net etc.. I sent it to the person who knows the person his sister bought her dog off, you name it. Also had a plugger on the record. Must have sent 10 copies! Jules picked up on the track on M2R.
Johnny D, Atlantic/Bad Boy Records
Love what you guys are doing – I’m gonna give you everything to work from now on
Cerrone, Malligator Records
Very happy with everything you’ve done for us.
Martin Solveig, Mixture Records
The M2R One 2.3 Four campaign is already looking pretty good, with enthusiastic feedbacks throughout the world!
Ian Seath, Muzik-K / K-Klass
I have many releases forthcoming on all my labels that I want M2R to work.
Monsta
Awesome job! Keep up the great work!!!! Being a Mix Show DJ heard nation wide in the US on Cable TV and a few internet stations, I was finding it hard to find quality tracks from record labels that put the extra effort into promoting themselves and keeping dance music moving forward!
Kontrol Records UK - Robert de Fresnes
In an industry that is undergoing such a drastic change it is really encouraging to see a new model such as Media2Radio which makes marketing and promotion an affordable option.

Media2Radio is an easy access site that never fails to surprise with a selection of tracks that are often worth their weight in gold.
DJ Pencil, MOS Radio
Without M2M i wouldn’t be able to do such great mixes and mash ups for my show on Ministry of Sound Radio. Its easy to use and always has the biggest tracks for djs and radio stations to pump out! Every track i’ve been sent is a winner and is as upfront as you can get. I’m sure it’s industry standard to get stuff from these guys, i can’t sing their praises enough!
Cory Conley, Northcross Media
Wow – I’m impressed! You guys are really doing it correctly. I wish the promoters here in the US would get their acts together and present the feedback info like you do. My goal was just to get exposure outside the U.S., and it looks like it’s working!
Andromeda/Mighty Flask, Frooty Collective/Frooty Records
M2M has been an absolute godsend to us, the feedback we get from the DJ’s is invaluable. We wholeheartedly recommend this site to anybody who wishes to promote their music in the most efficient way. Forget blind CD mail-outs that lead nowhere, M2M IS the way forward for your projects, take it from us. The support is second to none, these people know the business and are very accommodating indeed. So what are you waiting for? Get with the program!
Jason Klein (Monster Taxi) Miami
M2M has helped us launch our music to the European and world dance market. This service has given us credibility in this region and a chance to network with several DJs all over the world. We will definitely utilize M2M on our next release. An awesome service.

DJ Cubanito (USA)
Your service is a major factor in my mix show playlists. I’m glad I met you in Miami!
Stuart Millar, Deviant DJs, Club & DJ Promotions
Media2Radio could become an industry standard in 2007. Besides the quality of the actual musical content, which is superb, it’s ease of use, staff who deal with your queries quickly and added value throughout the portal make it essential for the time-poor DJ who needs to cut to the chase. It’s my first-stop each week for promo downloads and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
DJ Verdi, Star FM Ukraine
Media2Radio is one of the best online services i’ve ever seen. Thanx for everything you do.. my full support!
Agent Greg, Radio 1 Rhodes
Media2Radio is getting better and better with quality tracks too! It’s an honour for me to be on your promo list!

I am having the time of my life downloading your top ten. I haven’t come across a bad tune yet (and that is unusual)!
Jonathan Ulysses - SPACE IBIZA Resident
M2M always keeps my CD box eclectic & happening with upfront chunky beats way before anyone else has them. A user friendly site, with high quality MP3’s & helpful staff. I absolutely rely on Media2Radio for their cutting edge forward way of thinking & admire them for always pushing the boundries of new innovative sounds. Keep the good stuff coming!
