Tell your friends about it (and if you're good enough they'll tell about you to their firends, etc), advertise ruthlessly, ask DJ's to test play your music, send your demos and/or promo CD's around. If you're good enough things will eventually start rolling forward by their own. You'll just have to give it a push at start and have some luck.
