That is exactly what it is. And while the noobs get attracted to it, he knows the internet nerds will start and uproar every time he does any kind of a gimmick - and lo, even more exposure.

yes. its all a super secret and clever marketing plot driven by a 28 year old guy who still cant even tie his fucking shoes.

now that i have been officially dubbed as a marketing strategist, music trend analyst, and i've honed in on "wicked marketing techniques" because i am clearly university prof level in marketing... i wonder what else i can do with these amazing superpowers i apparently gained overnight.


.... dood. i mashed that fucking track out in about 6 hours on a night off in boredom, and im just going to upload the 16 bit wav for laughs and give it out for free... cant believe it's even open for critic, let alone passed off as a stunt. Trippy.

Well, i guess as the years go by, some of you might actually start to believe that i *actually* love making music, and dont give a fuck either way about any of its results.

if you want to critic anything i do, please, at least spare me the maniacal fuckin "marketing / exposure" spiel. But, im really flattered that some of you guys seem to think theres some really heavy insight into that dept going on here at mau5trap.... least it makes me appear a little more organized as opposed to the unorganized fuckin chaosfest this whole trip is for me. so, a big LMFAO to that.

and in case you havent caught on yet, this post is also some kinda super special marketing exposure technique as well.

Dude, don't act like you don't market yourself. You'd be a fool if you didn't. In today's industry, no matter how much talent you have, to make it as far as you did, you NEED an excellent marketing team. And just because you love making music, doesn't mean you shouldn't care about the results. The reward is cheese.

If you say you don't then I'll believe you. But let me give you some marketing advice: don't get so angry on these forums. you should be honored to be hated on. its just what happens when you move from the underground to the mainstream. Also, please spend more than 6 hours on your next track.

"these" forums? or forums in general?


heres my advice, and ill keep it equally relevant...

don't buy Starburst candies in the UK, theyre different, and shit.

why the hell would i employ a marketing team? and in what sane world would said marketing team advise me to even think about pulling off even 1/3rd of the stupid shit ive done.... its my career... and ill play with it, nuture it, or run it right into the fucking ground. lighten up, none of this shit is even anything remotley close to anything of virtue to the topic.... so if by "not getting mad on a forum" is just as fucking irrellevant as the way any given topic deviates to the point where nobody knows what theyre fucking talking about anyway.... then me getting right enraged and pissed off shouldnt fuckin matter at the end of the day.

whats the difference to you?

thanks for the advice anyway i guess.
