Fuuuuck, i'm about to get a record deal! 3

I sent some demos out to a bunch of labels the other day and got two responses so far. One from Dirty Frequencies, which is a small label that can get me on beatport and spotify. It just started this summer.
The other is High Intensity Records, which is a much bigger label, and can get me on beatport, spotify, and iTunes!
I'm leaning towards the second as they seem more professional and established.
I'm so excited guize

Very cool, congratulations!!
Just remember if anything, the hard work increases.
I have a few friends who are signed to record labels, the vast majority of them are doing nothing with their music aside from the occasional local shows.
The ones that are successful are constantly playing, touring, or recording. Best of luck, keep on keeping on.

Yes sir, soundcloud here

and pirate-blues, yup. First thing i did when i got home today is work on music. I had writers block, and nothing was turning out good for like 3 hours. It sucks. But then suddenly i was messing around with some chords, and boom - making a catchy beat now!

Thanks guys  This is why the shroomery rocks. haha
I'm not sure on the details yet, and nothings 100% final. But both of them said they're interested in my tracks, and once I have a completed track that's ready for release to send it over. So basically, they're both saying they want to release my new work 
This is my passion, and it's all I've really stayed committed to for the past 6 years. I'm starting to play shows around seattle as well. It feels great to have all this work paying off at such a young age!

SoreSpore, like I said - I don't know yet. I sure hope so, but I don't know the details of this. I'm not so much in it for the money - I try to give all my music away for free. Just to get on beatport and itunes would be crazy enough.
I'd like to continue to give most of my music away for free, and just make money doing shows and stuff. 
And thank you blankk! I have actually, some of my friends are really into that, and I think it would be cool to hit that genre up a little bit

Excellent news, OP! I'm currently listening to one of your tracks on SoundCloud (Midnight's Dust) and I am truly impressed. The vocal sample reminds me of Gregorian chanting for some strange reason. Totally digging this, so chill.
It's no wonder you've got offers on the table. Good luck with whatever choice you make. I am bookmarking your SoundCloud site, by the way. I can't wait to hear more.

Indeed. Con Artist is playing right now. Shiiit. No words, OP. 
A question for you. I see you provided download links for your music, so maybe I am answering my own question, but how would you feel if I burned your tracks to a mix CD and played them in my car? I really need to hear these tracks at full volume, I can only imagine how much bass I am not hearing listening to these tracks on a measly little laptop.
Lysgeric Dreams on now... holy shit. Is that synth at the beginning a Zeppelin sample? It reminds me of All My Love.

Dude, I'm impressed. Not about the deal, though that is cool.
I'm impressed by your ear for music. I really, really like your style. Only listened to about 5 1/2 of your tracks so far, but there's some really good stuff in there. I like how it kinda jumps all over the place (in terms of genre) and very trippy. (I'm also kind of envious / curious how you achieved certain effects)
Awesome though.  
Good luck with the contract. Have a lawyer look at it. Preferably one who is familiar with this kind of stuff, specifically. I have read too much about record companies screwing over their artists. There's actually a decent article (by Courtney Love of all people) about music piracy, which gets into some record company shenanigans in some detail.
