Josh Gabriel's Different Pieces label joins Armada Music

http://supra.armadamusic.nl/news/2009/01/2331/

Armada.. taking over the world one label at a time.

Armada seems to be that horrible monster that eates everyone. Andy Moor's AVA joined them like a month ago and now Different Pieces.

Great...

For as many labels that join, others leave. I wonder if Josh Gabriel had to agree to not release any material under his own name on any other label like some of the other artists on Armada's label group.

perry dipped from that shitshow

Armin is tony soprano....i bet you he threatens these guys with their livelihood if they dont come onboard the Armada

Well, sure.

"I'll play your music on my radio show so long as you sign with my label, t'ah."

This kind of blows but its not surprising.

you guys are with these conspiracy theories.

all armada does for the label is the things the artist doesn't have time to do themselves (distro, marketing, publishing, exploitation, etc) the artists maintain complete artistic control. what you guys aren't realizing is Armada is one of the few record COMPANIES left that specialize in dance music.

Good points. As long as they let Josh do his own thing when it comes to producing, I'm okay with it.

I dont deal in conspiracy theories or rumours, you should know that by now. To me complete artistic control doesnt include not being able to release music under your own name on other labels, and I know of at least two artists on their roster who have that kind of restriction imposed.

There is a pretty simple reason for that. The label is trying to develop their own brand of artists. So if you have an artist with releases under the same name on 5-6 labels, it doesn't make it that special.

Not to mention if the company spends time and money investing into the development of that artist, through compilations, releases, press and marketing, then to have them go somewhere else with all that, probably doesn't make too much sense!

sounds like mcdonalds to me

Some of these artists weren't nobodies to begin with though, and to be honest aside from a few exemptions, I find the label group to be quite blinkered with it's interchangable artists borrowed from each of the other labels on the roster.

Expect a flood of tracks from the label being re-released a thousand times on beatport under "Armada Jan Tracks" "Armada Feb Tracks" "Armada House Vol 26", "A State of Trance November Top 25", "Global DJ Broadcast 15 Jan Mix", etc.

Wish Armada didnt fuck up the mastering for The Blizzard's remix of In & Out of Love either, they couldn't even be bothered to fix it for the re-release on Imagine Remixed.

i meant in regards to their labels

a label deal doesnt mean an artist deal.

not conspiracy and not rumors.

he's got 2 new ones that were mentioned before and he is also getting 1 of the smaller labels that are kinda big.

so 3 so far..
