Vito I talked to dj danjo and rob styles who are friends of katana and releasing tracks on his label and they told me that thier track "Aragon" won't be released yet because they are looking for a new label beacuse BPM dance is quitting...
Danjo told me that even so peoples know him much more because of the mp3s doesn't give him nothing because he's broke , I don't remeber excalty how he told me it but that's what he told me - katana still doesn't know what he's gonna do.

So this is the real source.

wow, i sure hope they arent quitting Only-djs...thats 1 of the best record sites i've been to! i bought alot of records cause of mp3s... i doubt they r shutting down cause of that

i add nick warren's comments from gu024

i think he has a valid pt....and coming from a big A list dj, he carries more weight

Nick Warren - From Sleevenotes of GU024

Nick Warren is unfazed by UK dance music's current, much-talked-about slump. "I think it's fantastic that people are panicking about the business and all the doom and gloom. All the big fish who have made money for years and years, all the big club promoters who milked it without putting that much back into it, have had their comeuppance," he says. "You can't sit on your heels and expect the same people to be going out for more than ten years. It never happens in music."

theres a difference between quitting and going bankrupt
if they chose to quit, its voluntary, therefore it can't be blamed on anything costing them money

if they had gone bankrupt:

is not proof that mp3s did anything to their income

well.. hard to say, but it seems that the vinyl market is not what is was anymore... sales were dissappointing and costs became too high

that's basically it...

BPM Dance didn't quit because they were bankrupt, like stated above. They only quit with the recordlabel because they wanna focus more on Only-DJs.com.

They didn't make any loss with BPM Dance, but it was neither something they earned alot with. So to save all the trouble, and focus on OD, they quitted.

And about the artist: Signum found a new label, Mark Norman found a new label, DJ Precision is starting his own label (Somatic Sense) and Katana doesn't know what to do yet, but I guess you'll hear from him too in the future So the music won't stop!

Its a shame that these record companies are closing but they cant blame it on mp3z as without mp3z we wouldnt know what the tune sounded like in order to see if its worth buying.

The mp3 excuse is not right as in my oppinion it actually increases sales on the toons!!

I think this post pretty much covers all bases on this issue.

WTF, selling Cd singles would make things worse, whos gonna buy a cd when you can just download the track and burn it yourself?

People buy vinyl for the beauty of mixing with it.
