Its so much more enjoyable listening to music, than producing it; lol...(for me) Thankfully producers like timewave and kay-d dont seem to be slowing down, I know kay-d has a growing family, and he still finds some time to write amazing tracks. Im done with msz project, I only have a few releases that are waiting for release, and maybe one more final collaboration with "Cut Knob" music.

That's a shame, there's a lot of people on here and out there that really enjoy your sound and I'm not sure if you're doing the right thing. Trends come and go - I remember Joof playing on the underground circuit for years in London until he got noticed and his form a trance finally came in to vogue. A lot of people then said a few years later that his sound was dead but he is still doing well and it comes and goes. It all cycles.

Joof and mistique are fostering a lot of artists, which is a great sign. People can complain a lot about the quality over time, but they're doing an amazing thing(a great service imo), its sometimes hard to see to the naive connoisseurs of music, if they even do purchase.(hopefully)
There isnt a lot of support for young producers these days, I thank guys involved from the bottom of my heart. The people running these sects deserve more growth; not only because of their envolvement behind the scenes, but their passion, the tracks they write are top level, and have been for a long time. |
This kind of deserves it own thread. What happened to the majors should be a moral tale; they abandoned the development deal years ago and are paying the price now. I know the band who literally got the last development deal that universal ever signed, and they've had several global No.1 songs, and they swear if it were not for that deal they never would have made it, or all that money for the label.
Now big labels just pick up the scraps from people who have already had exposure and there's no loyalty towards labels so acts just go to whoever will pay the most, meaning both the label and the artist get fucked in the long term (as the new label isn't interested about the long term prospects for the artist or their catalogue).
I think the labels and big artists who nurture new talent will be the ones that do well - it's always been the way and the shortsightedness of the other model is simply disposable.
