Anyway, this whole situation is pretty amusing. I read in a few earlier pages, though, that people felt digital labels can release whatever they want willy nilly because there's no negative effect monetarily.
This is not true.
While uncommon in other genres of music, a lot of dance labels have just as many people that follow them as the actual artists themselves, for instance I'm subscribed to Toolroom Records on YouTube, Mau5trap in Beatport, Drumcode in Beatport.... etc. This is because they have consistent releases and in the cause of Mau5trap and Drumcode I buy nearly every new track they release because the quality is always so consistently high.
When a label pushes as much crap out as possible people won't follow the label and the good artists will stop sending their tracks to that label, because they.... they release anything; they don't want to have a label like that tied to their name, and that label loses all credibility. |
Yes, good labels will try and maintain a standard of quality, this is why they are GOOD labels. But the hundreds (1000's?) of others will release pretty much anything in the hope that something will sell well. It is for this reason there are so many digital labels out there....and so few of them are any good.
