Yes its out on beatport and gladly purchased

@ TEchnocolour gotta hand it to you guys for making the L.a. techno scene as good as it is now , there is probably some more work to be done , but i feel what you guys are doing is something that is going on the right direction.

Cheers

Wow, had no idea that Avalon was such a large venue.

HEADS is cool

Will check out the release. This kinda thing makes me wish I was in L.A.

Sounds pretty ok... I think I'll have to let it grow on me a bit.

HEADS and Nikki Norris.

Dunno yet, lots of things to work out.

congrats on the release but I was expecting more than 3 tracks. 5 or 6 would have been a good number.

Also I hope that your catalogue won't be beatport exclusive -ish but it looks like it's gonna be.

a regular digital EP is 3-4 tracks, 6 would be essentially a long player

why were you hoping for 5-6?

in order to have each track shine, if you will, its better not to crowd them

also, when starting a label, it could be either a little cocky or just not very focused to release a big collection of tracks at once


we have 4-5 next releases either completed or very close to it. Right now we are going with the exclusive arrangement with Beatport because they are excited about Culprit and will push the label so it makes sense

once we have a proper vinyl worldwide distribution in place, we could be represented everywhere. Beatport is responsible for 80-90 percent of all digital sales out there, so it's a proper place to be

A couple Culprit parties were already held, a Beatportal article came out quite some fucking time ago with 3 or 4 tracks previewed in it and Miami probably had an effect too.

Considering the time and the eagerness, I was expecting more that's all. Just a matter of opinion I guess.

If you guys are active for more than 5 years, things will indoubtedly get bigger and better!

Yeah but that doesn't mean you have to be exclusive to Beatport. Personnally I always wait till a track drops to 1,30 euro to buy it. I'm not low on money but I'd rather wait to get a comprehensive feel of the track and also to buy twice as much tracks. I very rarely buy any exclusives.

turning tricks rocks my soul

whoa, don't mean to offend buddy, don't get so defensive

wondering why you were expecting 5 or 6 tracks, that was never a plan


the Beatport article came out with samples to 4 tracks, some of which will be released soon as part of different releases. Miami, Detroit, Beatport article, Culprit parties - all were tools in building up anticipation for the first release. Unfortunately, its not as easy as just submitting stuff to Beatport - if you do that without proper gestation period, you will get lost in the shuffle with hundreds of other labels

concentrating on one artist per release makes sense to us and is the way to properly promote our artists as well as the label itself. Its better to unload with everything we have but to carefully plan our path.

you know?

You need a better approach to selecting and buying your music then.

If the difference between buying or not buying good music comes down to cents on the dollar I think you have issues

I have a very big hold crate that's all. I don't care about getting the mp3 right when it comes out, I'm not in any kind of hurry.

In between 5 back catalogue tracks and 5 exclusives with 15% VAT, there is a 5 euro difference. That's almost 4 back catalogue tracks. I'd rather wait 2 or 3 weeks to buy 9 tracks I'll like than 5 exclusives which I don't know.

Ironically my last crate was all about exclusives.

Nice

also lee foss + tank top + headband = awesomeness

Got it today, and I'm loving it.

However, I'm confused...I thought the first EP was going to be the 4 tracks previewed on beatportal?

Is there a way to buy the vinyl release directly from you guys?

understood. We have a wealth of music we want to release and initially considered doing an EP sampler with one track from each of the artists/artist combos.

but as we keep getting more and more great stuff from all the producers involved, we choose to give them each a proper release.


as far as vinyl, we have a limited number as i mentioned, but will definitely save some for direct sale


pm for details, Oscar. Thanks
