Mission
DNA Production label was created for new industrial artists promotion and non-profit distribution of their works. Additionally it is for releasing materials from well-known musicians previously unreleased for some reasons. Initially and currently it is label owner' own initiative.

Projects
Currently there is the one running project, namely the "Short Drones" series. "Short Drones" is a string of short releases composed mainly in drone ambient way.
This series has been started in late 2008 and since that times all received demos in a proper style has higher priority.
For this series audioworks should satisfy three conditions:
a) to be composed in drone or drone ambient style,
b) to be not longer than 25 minutes and not shorter than 15 minutes (one track or several tracks in whole, it doesn't matter),
c) to be approved by label owner, of course.
All artists who is interested in contribution to "Short Drones" series are welcome.

Scheduling and queue
Albums are releasing regularly, three times in a month or thereabouts.
Label team is constantly receiving and listening to demo materials. Best of it all are being scheduled for releasing on the label.
Usually DNA Production has a permanent flow of very good demos, and among it there are many materials approved by the label. So a queue of upcoming releases forms, therefore artists interested in relesing their works on DNA Production should wait at least a month or so for their turn.

Music styles priority
Styles priority is depended mainly on label's owner musical tastes. Now the label is heavily orientated on ambient influenced industrial genres such as dark ambient, drone ambient and so on. Also field recordings, abstract noise works, musique concrete, minimal and abstract ambient and electroacoustic experiments are the things the label interested in. And finally guitar drone works with or without noise influencies look like very desirable addition to DNA Production catalogue while digital or harsh noise and power electronics are not best choice.
Exactly DNA Production catalogue is not for electronic dance-related genres (EBM, IDM, dark electro, rhythmic noise and so-called club music). Also punk-like noise, darkwave, black metal influenced ambient or noise and aggro-industrial have no chances to be released on the label.
All authors whose demos are in preferred genres and suited to the label's owner taste will receive an offer to release their materials on DNA Production.

Your demo-recordings
The usual way artists appear in the label catalogue is just sending their demos to DNA Production. It's most suitable and very easy way.
Put the tracks you want to send together in a folder and encode it in mp3 with a proper bitrate (192kbps - 320kbps or VBR V0/V1/V2). Zip the folder and upload it on any free filehosting services (rapidshare.com, megaupload.com, sendspace.com etc). Then visit DNA Production site, go to contact form and send link to uploaded archive with your tracks. Don't forget to indicate your email. And write a few lines about your project, it would be nice to know more about people who want to collaborate with DNA Production label.
Another way to presents your demo materials is to upload it on social networks such as myspace.com, last.fm or on archive.org.
