This panel will be an overview on how a label can take mix

adds. Some of the hottest mixers
in the country will be on hand to
tell you what it takes to get your
record in their mix shows. Topics
will also include how to get your
demo into the hands of the programming
department and how to turn mix show
exposure into better paying gigs.
Well also brainstorm on how
to turn mix show spins into sales
at retail and discuss the differences
between mix show hits and those
that have potential only on the
dance floor. Like never before,
the mix show has become the all-important
step to success for our releases.
Mix shows affect record sales and

of the most powerful programmers
at radio.
