Yeah but you're also a DJ with a residency and therefore a reason for record companies to give you promos and such. I don't have that connection, I mean I'm sure I'm gonna outgrow downloads once I get on some promo lists but until then I'm a 17 year old high school kid that is just starting to get paid to play EDM... |
As nem will also tell you, half the stuff sent on mailing lists is wank, its also not sent until near release date, or in some cases after the release date.
I hunt out records i like, i dont rely on it being sent.
I stand by my statement that if its out there you will be able to find it if you look in the right places and are quick enough.
example?
heard on pete tongs essential selection a few weeks back-' col hamilton presents c-sixty four 'on a good thing'' Awesome french stylee house track that i predict big things for. Not on winmx or kazaa when i checked either.
I wont be sent that for probably 6 months- if at all. I have 3 test pressings of it sat right here. rare as rocking horse shit- but i was quick and i know where to look. They werent obtained through a distributor either- they were bought retail.
Same with Shapeshifters-lolas theme. everyones been fighting for a copy of it recently. I snapped up loads of copies when i found them months and months back and have been selling them for 35 ukp a time. every single place was sold out within an hour or so- you just have to be quick and know where to go.
You have to know whats coming out, what the buzz tracks are ( i hate that expression) and release dates. Most importantly you have to know where to get them.
Ill have a scout for that BT tune for you and see what i can find...
