The best way to contact me, DJ Octoon is via email:

inaband@gmail.com

I'm also pretty good on Twitter

twitter.com/djoctoon

If that doesn't work for some reason, maybe post a comment on my blog (comments are so rare I read THEM ALL)

www.djoctoon.blogspot.com

And if that doesn't work, come down to UCLA Radio during the show and knock on the door.  Sunday nights, 8-10pm. 

Or just call instead while we're on air.  310-825-9999

Seriously.

Do you live in LA and want radio play on UCLA Radio? Just catch DJ Octoon when he is out.  Hand him a demo and he GUARANTEES he'll play it on his Sunday night show.

How? Use Twitter...
http://twitter.com/djoctoon

When DJ Octoon is out at a venue/bar, he'll "tweet" about it, and what he's wearing.  Find him, hand him your CD and listen on Sunday to keep him honest.

Seriously.

A quick note

The Best Unsigned Artists of 2008 Compilation has been delayed in duplication, but will be coming soon, we promise.

When is soon?  By the end of the month, hopefully. 

Who knew it was so hard to print CDs?

Original info on the Unsigned Comp 

---

"I'm in a Band..", your favorite radio show on UCLA Radio is compiling a "Best Unsigned Music of 2008" compilation disc to be given out all around UCLA, played in coffee shops, study halls, and anywhere else we can get it.  Last year's compilation was played on other college radio stations and Indie 103.1.   

The CD isn't for any kind of profit, but just to get the word out about the show, and some of the great unsigned artists out there.

Want your song on the CD?   Email ONE song to inaband@gmail.com with "For Compilation Consideration" in the subject. 

We are open to all genres of music.

OR send your CD to the station with your best track noted. 

DJ Octoon - FOR COMPILATION CONSIDERATION
c/o UCLAradio.com
118 Kerckhoff Hall
308 Westwood Plaza
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Again, we need it by December 5th...so mail it already!

By submitting, you are giving us permission to put the track on the CD and give it away at our discretion.  Please make sure there is no copyrighted material within the track.

Of course if you make it on the compilation, we'll send you a copy so you can burn it and give it to everyone you know. 

If you've already sent us your song for airplay and want it considered for compilation consideration, send us another email that says "Hey DJ, please consider that song you play on your show every week for the Best Unsigned Artists of 2008 Compilation!"

And be sure to listen to the show this Sunday.  Call or AIM and we can chat about why or why not your track is going to make it this year!

Tell your friends.  We love UNSIGNED Music.

Seriously.
