Probably a bit pointless sending it to big labels. Try some smaller ones. Can't think off the top of my head though, let me dig out some old funky stuff and get back to you.
Because you've had nothing housey out prior to this. I'm not saying it'll be good or shit, but that's generally how the big labels mentioned here work, esp. Defected. Send it, by all means, just send it to some smaller labels too.
Good choice. Send them to all the Ministry lot, and the Maidstone Massive. They seem to be the cool guys in funky house atm :spangled:
Like I say I haven't seen a track on that label for maybe years now. They used to license some pretty good stuff a few years ago.
