It's rough man, I think the best way to get your music out there is still the oldschool way, go to a shit load of shows and shake hands and trade business cards, you need to be in your scene till everyone knows your name, you either throw shows or you play shows.
This social media/ seo bull shit is all crap in my opinion.
That's just my opinion, I'm not a big time producer by any means but I had some years throwing small shows, and if it wasn't for all those small gigs, I would have never gotten in the festival circuit.
People will support you, if you support them first. The more people you know in your scene, the better your chances you get gigs (given that your music is good)
Another way to get attention is doing remixes of tunes, do a popular tune and loose underground cred, but get tons of hits on soundcloud.
So it all takes time and effort, I think the work you put outside the studio walking/ promoting can be sometimes more intense than writing music.You can be an amazing producer, but if you stay in your room all the time, that's where your music will stay (minus exceptions of course)
