Very pretentios of me,but whatever,I dunno.Anyway,I wanted to send the demo of my last track to TesseracT studio (again,I know this is very pretentious  ),but I have no idea how to contact them.I mean,their site have nothing for contact info except bookings,their facebook page also have nothing.
What is one supposed to do ?

Find some artist from Tesseract and hope he digs your music, you as a person and maybe he can put out some good words for you, but as it's mentioned before, they will come to you if they are interested.
Make connections, lot's of them, put your name out there, make tracks with some producers that can help you out.
IMHO when you are ready to release something for them, you will definitely know where to send a demo

ya don't limit yourself to one label especially in the beginning if you are not known. like Xsze said make connections and let a lot of people hear your stuff, if it is good someone will want to put it out.

That goes without saying,off-course.
But only at the same time,the thought creeps in that the only one that is gonna hear this music is my neighbors who are unwilling participants of my producing
I am giving my best efforts to create something which is not your uts uts stuff that dominates and polutes people ears and minds.So I thought if in parallel process I'll perfect my producing and at the same time will make efforts of promoting my stuff,maybe by time I'll be on good enough level,I wouldn't get stuck with tone of material and no one to listen to it
So,you say I have to make connections.What ,just start talking with producers I like on facebook ? Ain't they have enough people doing the same ?
Also,what you think about putting your stuff for free in sites like Ektoplazm ? Does that help you to get your stuff out there ?

choose 1-2 of your fav tracks that you feel are best and start to send em to labels. just check your music to be in same style to the label that you will contact.
make also a nice and small bio of you 
you have nothing to lose, believe me!
see whats gonna happen...
good luck mate!

Tesseract Studio in particular is a very tight knit label. They dont release music outside of their 'family'. And getting into the family is through good friendship that develops over time. Go right to the bottom of the contact page on their site and see what it says.
Oh and my suggestion assuming that the music is of high standard is to make personal connections with people involved with labels you like at parties where their DJs play. Make an effort to talk with them after their set. Some are total douches whereas others are very willing to have a casual discussion where you can put your point across. It takes time and patience I guess.

So dig this up again because I don't want to open another thread
I uploaded a track some minutes ago and somebody contacted me to sign my track on a label and get remixes on it
So I'm ok with this even if the music these gyus are doing is different for me than mine but why not if they want to do remixes thats fine
but anything I should consider before giving an ok or something like that?

Does your music suit the label? Does the label suit you? What do you get out of it? Under what conditions will they release it? Do the remixers make any good tunes? If it is crap i'd think about it.

Ask other artists that have released with the label what their experiences were.

i think if you're at the stage in your music career where you simply want your music to be heard, sending it to a label is a bad idea. It seems to me that getting released on a label is only worthwhile if you already have an established audience/fan-base who will pay attention. if you don't already have this, it will get lost in the online stores and suffocate.
my humble advice would be to post your tracks on soundcloud, share them to groups, and then release an ektoplazm album when you have 6-8 tracks. you will get heard by way more people this way...every ektoplazm release is pretty much guaranteed to be downloaded thousands of times.
sending demos to labels gets pretty depressing if you're not a well known artist or political player in the "scene"
