Wow this thread is fucking epic and I loled many times. Thank you [ rave.ca ]

I guess it probably has to do the the price of circles going up because of all the speculation about them on the stock market. 2010 hasn't been such a big year for the straight lines market.

Ok now this will be MASSIVE! And it's right on my birthday! :)

Hey glad you like it. The track playing at 27 min is "Hot Pink Delorean - Bee Eff Eff (Lazy Rich Remix)". Crazy track for sure! :)

Enjoy!

I heard the sequel, Third Life, will be much better.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm quite happy with this remix. Pretty much the first time that I add a new lead as the main part of the track and it just felt like it fit right in there along with the rest.

Hola,

Here is my remix of Misteur Valaire's track Monster Donte. The original came out on their Golden Bombay album.

Feel free share! :)

This basically means that nobody would be allowed to post anymore. :)

All you have to do with this thing is take the audio out and plug it into any of the inputs of the mixer where you're playing. Anyone who is unable to do this should not be allowed to mix anywhere.

It's definetly quicker to set-up than the other box that the regular Traktor setup uses.

I gree though with Dialect that all clubs and events should have CDJs with USB ports. That would just make everyone's life so much easier. It's coming. :)

Hey guys,

I've recorded a new set for a contest on Let's Mix. You can listen to it by following the link and please vote 5 stars to help me out on the contest!

Enjoy!

Yes, ça c'est moi. :)

Je me suis bien amusé. Merci aux Neurotik. Excellent party, underground à souhait. Belle crowd en feu. Ce genre de party me manquait et ça a fait du bien.

These ads have been around for a while. If it wasn't worth it for them, I'm sure they would have figured it out by now and they would have stopped. :)

Indeed.

To me, not posting your tracklisting is the equivalent of quoting somebody in a book or article, but without mentioning that it's a quote and where it came from.

You only need one USB Key when the club who owns the pair knows how to set them up properly. Thank god I had two keys, just in case. :)

Haha somehow I read this thread. [ rave.ca ] never fails to give newbies a proper welcome!

When I played in Strasbourg, they had a pair of these. I showed up to the club solely with two 8GB USB keys and my headphones. It was totally awesome. :)

I wish all clubs had that...

I agree that Cherry Cola is a really nice guy and a damn solid DJ. There are few DJs in this city that I like to see play and he is one of them.

Actually she ended up staying in L.A. :(

Hola Rawali, Alice actually almost moved back here this month...

Hello All!

I don't know much about the classical music world. However, it's probably safe to say that to make a great career as an artist in classical music, you need to be very good at your art, that's for sure, but above that you also need a great network of contacts to get in the right places, just like in electronic music (or any kind of music). Am I wrong here?

Good old-school vibes! This brought back a lot of rave memories! Very professional promoters to deal with and very well organiseed with the event. You can see they put great efforts in promoting the event properly, which is half the work really because there's no party without the people in it!

Very enthusiastic crowd that was fun to play for. Reactions were great with pretty much anything I could throw at the dancefloor. :)

My only down side is having to turn down the volume ridiculously low at the end of my set because of the police. I wanted to end by set with a Bang, but it actually ended very differently. But I guess turning down the volume was a low price to pay to avoid the event being shut down for everybody else!

Props!

They'll have 1000s?! Awesome!

I'm also quite hyped to try out the 2000s tonight. :)

Massive! :)

I have the Novation Remote 25 SL and I'm really happy with it.

It's a known fact that ice cream makers give away their ice cream for free to create hype, in the hope that ice cream fans will buy tickets to come and see them make it live.

Those are all good possibilities. However, I think this is the kind of thing that will work best for established artists with a dedicated fanbase, which is the case for both Radiohead and NIN. This probably won't do much for relatively unknown up-and-comers. Word of a "free" Radiohead or NIN album spreads like wildfire in all kinds of media. Word of a free Omni or {insert relatively unknown producer here} album probably won't get that much exposure.

This is an interesting topic. I am myself both producing music that I am releasing on various labels and I am also running Tasty Bytes Records, a digitally distributed label.

My goal with my tracks (and with the label), has never been to make a big profit out of it. I'm more about trying to find the best way to get my music (and the artists on our label) heard by a lot of people and giving everyone the exposure that they should get. I also believe that the best way to live making music these days is more about playing live than about selling tracks, but both should somehow go hand in hand. Putting out music should help you make a name for yourself and help your music get to the right places.

With my music and with the label, I have tried a certain number of strategies to ensure maximum exposure, including giving away music. A lot of people seem to think that giving away their music for free means that everyone will rush out and get it. Giving away your music for free, while it can help you get some exposure, is not necessarily going to help you that much.

While I am all about digital distribution (and even free music sharing to some extent), I can also see one of the downsides of it today. Music today, being either dirt-cheap or freely available (through legal or illegal means), has become a disposable commodity. Today, the "life expectancy" of a good electronic dance music track has dropped significantly from a few months to a few weeks. I think that the price of music, while not being the only factor, has something to do with it. Back when I was playing only vynil, paying 15$ for a track + B-side, that track could remain in my crate for months and sometimes one or two years if I really thought it was awesome. These days, with the same budget and the quantity of music coming out, a good track is often only played a few weeks. There are a lot of aspects to "this problem", but I believe that putting a price on your music, for some reason, seems to give it more value to a lot of people. That is unfortunately the way things are today.

Still, I will continue to give away some things for free, but maybe giving all your music away for free is not THE solution to give your music the exposure and the "life" that it diserves.
