Anyone here who produces music here? If you do, what do you do to promote your music (website etc.)?

but is there anything that I can do that is free? like spamming links everywhere? xD
ps judging from that remix i linked do you think that i can grow?
Nothing in life is free. Spamming links to consumers won't work, very few people will click them and most will just find you annoying, especially if you're commenting it on other artists' work. Your best bet if you want free stuff is to send it to radio stations who may play it on specialist shows (or of course online stations are a good option). However if you do that, you've got the roadblock of having numbers in your name which makes it hard for radio to convey that to the listeners easily, so you'd only get fans who go out of their way to find you from radio.
Quality wise, your mix is pretty good - especially as I assume you're in a home studio. It sounds great on headphones, a little mismatched on speakers though - I'd recommend getting some decent monitors if you've not got them already. (That being said I listened on standard speakers, not production monitors as they're not set up atm). In terms of style, I can't really comment as I don't listen to much chilled stuff, with EDM I go for more melodic things but my root focus is heavy rock/metal. But yeah, it's a lot better than I'd expect from your average user on PMC

Silvania StudiosWeirdly despite having a degree in music production I've never released anything.
Stay active on the facebook, and maybe upload a video with one of your songs and some vaguely related visual clips and promote it for a couple of weeks (FB's advertising isn't too expensive for smaller scale promoting).
It's a slow and painful experience

However, Facebook, Soundcloud, Toneden, Reverbnation, Beatport etc are all good spots. Free downloads early on are a must, so people can share songs they like with friends.
Facebook is the best overall to promote the others. You can hook Toneden with soundcloud so people only get the free download when they follow you. Stay active on the facebook, and maybe upload a video with one of your songs and some vaguely related visual clips and promote it for a couple of weeks (FB's advertising isn't too expensive for smaller scale promoting). The essential part is to get people following you on one of your sites so they see new releases, and then you can eventually start to charge for them.
