It is indeed difficult to get people to listen to a piece of music cold. One way to promote electronic music would be to use it as background music on YT videos on other topics. Do you know youtubers who might be interested in using your music?
I do know someone who gained a significant following on youtube but to put it simply they're just difficult to work with. Their following is based on something they did a long time ago, they don't do much these days.
When I'm extremely happy with my music I plan to use the following tactics.
Like you said use the music on other people's videos, for example you get all kinds of compilation videos on youtube like worst accidents ever, luckiest people ever, best sportsmanship, worst sports fights.
Another thing similar to this is to get my music on another channels playlist, good thing about this is that you get lots of views and publicity, the bad thing is that I think you give up some rights to your music to someone else, I think that's the case anyway.
I've been producing music using other amateurs acapellas which I might get some attention from possibly off the back of any publicity they have. Unfortunately this is another idea that has been done to death, every acapella on youtube has several remixes made of it already but I like making that sort of music anyway so I don't see it as hard work.
I'm not against just straight forward paying for publicity in some way.
Ontop of that using facebook, twitter and whatever else I hear about.
I think my music has only just started to get acceptably good anyway so I'm taking my time before promoting anything too much.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
