Sad time that people with so much talent go no where because of the satuaration of the EDM market

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Bullshit. People just have no understanding of how to market themselves and use their music properly.

If you leave it up to a label you're not going to get anything more than the norm. you'll be exploited for your work and then forgotten until the next time.

This is avoidable if you take things into your own hands and control each aspect of your music and marketing of it.

I completely out in left field when it comes to this subject. I'm not sure if I will ever even release an original track. Remixes I obviously have little to no control of, but in my opinion the value of having music that only yourself and the world's top jocks have is priceless.

I know many here weren't around back in the late 90's - But hunting down promo copies of limited press music was extremely popular (and expensive) and would really make a DJ actually worth something as opposed to today where it's usually the blunt of a bad joke.

There's nothing like rocking a dance floor with your own music. That's my opinion anyway. Not having to worry about releasing your material also opens up so many possibilities such as sampling whatever the hell you damn so choose and depending on your ethics stealing sounds, sequences, etc.

ok well i suppose, but I just mean that what subtle said is right people have so much choice now that you are lucky if a track gets somewhere, even if its good.

My plan is to eventually have a sets worth of good trance that I have made some that were released some not and then try to get gigs playing it. Hopefully offering a unique dj set that only I can do, i might use ableton and go for splitting them all into loops or i might just go cdjs.

I think it would be so cool to rock a dancefloor with your own shit

Interesting points.

I would be flattered if someone stole my music.

And you probably wouldn't know either

Same here, and it has happened actually. Several of my releases showed up on Russian Blogs. I translated the comments posted there, and they they were saying things like "unique proggy", and "nice, thanks!". If someone swiped a tune off my myspace, and I saw it on youtube or something, I'd be on cloud nine. I'm not encouraging stealing, but it is very flattering that someone paid attention to my music.
