I think there needs to be a cutting down of trees in the area of bedroom producers with fruity loops or ableton who spend months trying to perfect one track, which might end up being good and might be worth listening to, but all there works goes to simply "getting the one track signed," and then after they realise its not that big of a deal because the label they signed the track to doesnt know the difference between a toilet and their shoe. So that little moment of success turns into, ok now i have enlist into slavery and churn out tracks that make very little, because shit label knows about as much as I do about selling music.
And these shitty labels need to bashed to no end, people spend a lot of time bashing artists, established artists, artists who are actually making great music, but ironically hardly anything is dished to the shitty labels who got off the banana they were sitting on and decided, "hey let me make a label, there are kids out there making music on computers, and I can put it out on beatport for almost no cost to me." These people should be taken to the back somewhere and slapped around a bit.
Which brings up the topic, ok so shit label wont help nubile 'artist' to actually make any money, so then it begins "i should start my own shit label, I even DJ'd a little"...fuck, the cycle repeats. I dont know, people need to be educated about the risks and rewards of both making music, and putting out music. And the whole vanity of it all has to be done away with. You released a track? Good for you, a week later...who gives a shit? If your going to make music, pour your heart into it, work on your craft, create good music, and then look for labels that will actually do something with your music, otherwise your wasting time if your ambition is anything outside of a great pastime or hobby. If its a great pasttime or hobby, keep making music, its the best thing you could be doing with free time that doesnt need to be used for a well lived functional life. |
Some of the best advice and take on the state of things I have heard in a long time. I could not agree more. In my experience anyway, this is all so freakin true.
