Drop is the place to go. With over 70 record labels in attendance, you are more
than welcome to bring your music by for some feedback. In 2012 a total of 42
tracks were signed by attendees of the event – the exact figure for the 2013

seminar lead by one of his favorite techno musicians, Gabriel Ananda. After
hearing Rob’s demo tape, Gabriel subsequently agreed to release Rob’s EP on his
new label, ‘Basmati’. Similarly, Jack
Zwarts was signed to Deep Sense Records after meeting with an A&R at the
Demo Drop of Dancefair 2013. Dutch label Kynatix
also signed multiple tracks after Dancefair 2013.
