Any tips on helping me and my musical partner get noticed (we make house dubstep and electro music?

Music is a performance art.

It's great to use spare time to send your demos and releases to blogs and other music websites, but ultimately getting attention requires performance. If you're doing EDM it's very much a game of competing with the DJs and being able to pack a dance floor. Get comfortable performing some basic parts of your tracks live, use backing tracks for the rest, and perform this stuff live. Mix into your set stuff by other artists like any good DJ would to provide variety and make the set good for dancing. But if you want to get noticed you really can't beat developing a following in your own neighborhood and beyond.
