This seemed like the most appropriate place to put such an interesting question.

If you have any other labels you think should be there, reply and I will edit the poll

A State of Trance is just a radio show not a record label I believe (Armada would be the closest one)

None. I mean by that, that if they want to signed me, I would refuse gently. Why ?
There's 2 reasons. I don't want to sell music. Music needs to be free from any obligations. The second reason is, I would prefer something else than pure electronic musicians. They need to "DJ" to be know or it won't work. And I don't like Djing.

why don't you want to sell your art? i mean, people like lido make sincere music, don't DJ & still have a really good income... i don't think it's healthy to have that view on labels from the beginning whilst you're relatively unknown

That's why I listed labels that are all willing to have PWYW releases... I have yet to charge for my music, but I accept donations.

People are free to donate if they want. I mean, I believe that arts is a way to live but I feel like paying to go in museum is wrong. Arts need to be free.

Pay what you want. or just a free download. I mean the best example I can think of is Pretty lights, he releases all of his music for free. and he's huge now. I don't think getting your music signed is a bad thing but ultimately you can control it. maybe you get signed by a label that does free download for a like. I think that's a decent compromise.

Mad Zoo (Mat Zo's label), Popcultur (Madeon's Label) should be on the list.

I like bandcamp too the only problem being that it does seem tougher to draw people to it. Its easier to have a big label do the marketing for you. you have a good point though.
