Mp3 DJ's

So

Im browsing through the endless sea of shit that floods the Tlist forum and I notice that all these "radio shows" are full of pukes who play illegal mp3's, and im saying 90% of these etn/party 107 do this.

The thing you should understand is, no one gives a fuck about what you play in the first place, so playing shit that is "exlusive" doesnt really make you a better DJ.

Also it has come to my attention that half of these "DJs" cant even beatmatch, and use shit like traktor or whatever to mix their shit shows.


I really dont see the point in this

This thread could get messy, but I agree with you.

I'm not too familiar with those stations or the DJs that play on them, so I can't pass any specific comments. In general though, many of them are obvious neophiliacs, desperate to play a set of tunes that are new rather than a set of tunes that would work well and sound good together.

How do you figure they're illegal?

Because bedroom djs arent on any recrod labels promo list

maybe they ripped it from a liveset? still not quite legal, but not really illegal, either.

Well I say, if you arent supposed to have it, dont play it

what does your sig refer to?

Necrophiliacs?

doesnt mean they have to be on a promo list.

i get promo tunes from well known producers who let me play em.
sure, there'll always be ppl who play illegal downloads though.

This isn't the only site or forum for EDM DJs and producers. many other forums and groups out there where labels and producers share their works with other members. so you have no case as to say that all the mp3s are illegal. that's like saying that any DJ live has illegal mp3s and idk about where you are but here i see that all the time.

I mix mp3 jus for fun all the time. im sure a few i got got vinyls or cd of, but still i dont see what the HUGE deal is its not like theyre gaining anything at all

what about white labels? I say we kill them djs who play those illegal tunes too !!!



wheres my pitch fork.

Difference between white labels, is DJ's either bought them, or are allowed to play them

No one wants mp3 kiddies to play new unreleased shit on their "radio show", doesnt exactly help the release

I would say that it helps promote the track (which is good for a producer), but in reality it seems like those DJs you speak of usually cater to listeners who leech mp3s themselves (not so good for the producer).

I agree with this point a lot.

Certainly there seems to be a lot of advertising and tracklisting in excess of the amount of shows and bedroom DJs now getting themselves noticed via ETN network etc.

I can speak for one of the shows which i am directly involved, and know the DJ personally, his method to this madness is to play from vinyl and 'permission accepted' cd-r from our producing friends, and a few well-known artists.
That doesnt mean to say he is playing exclusive tunes illegally, but that if he knows something good is in the pipeline, he isn't afraid to ask label managers & artists for their shizzle.

When people bitched about the amount of self-advertisement in the tracklisting section a sticky-topic was formed in the MD section to link up your webshows.
What is wrong with having a new section completely? For artist radioshow promotions?
Its arguably already there, but at present this isn't what Artist Promotion is used for is it.

I do sympathise with Typhoon's point though - when you open up the tracklisting section it should be easy to surf through in 10-15 minutes to a setlist from a well-known DJ - at present it just seems we have 1-2 posts like this each day, and about 20 new ETN shows cluttering up the section.

How do u change this situation without at least discriminating against new upcoming DJs (who have chosen to use ETN as a way to progress their career)?

either i have no idea what i'm talking baout, or u don't know wat ur talking about.

I've talked to the manager of ETN about the same thing as u... and he says he doesn't allow Mp3 Djs to mix on ETN, I think it's vinyl only.

feel free to continue ur rant.

Paul never used Traktor. He used Final Scratch some time but that's not like bedroom djs using Traktor for their mixes.

Today he mixes with Ableton, where he obviously has no need to beat-match too now


I don't think that there are many MP3 DJs on etn or other stations.

And even if it's not allowed to make radio shows with Traktor or something, how wants ETN to control this???

er, i thought most white labels were white labels because they cannot get the proper rights to parts of it. SO say they used a beatles sample and couldn't clear it. They press it and distribute it, then record stores sell em usually profitting.

thats my understanding of them, im sure it doesn't apply to all cases, but it does apply to some if not most. This is the same exact thing except with mp3's no one gets a profit margin.

White label is something that didnt quite get a full release, for various reasons

...one of those issues being copyrights....
