lol, guess this is what I get for trying to keep my post short, I guess I could just roll his ass down a flight of stairs.

I guess I just have an opposite POV, to me it seems all this music floating around the internet is a good thing. From my perspective we are really lucky, never has more quantitiy and quality been available as now, its a great time to love music. I just go on these serendipitous trips through the web and fill my hard drive with wild sounds like nothing I've ever heard. Maybe they arent quite trance sounds, some of them arent even dancable, but they are just great and are sooooo friggin easy to find. I like whats going on in the internet right now, its just bulging with great stuff and no single person could possibly hear it all.

I thinks its great that music is being liberated from the industry, their strangelhold is weakening and all this crazy weird sound is showing up, archive.org is now one of my favorite sites. Trance doesn't have that great of an internet presence, like axolotyl said, but plenty of great music is available online.

I think i listened to 300+ tracks the other day on various dl sites, and couldnt't find a single track that I liked.

They are crap, I could go on more, but whats the point...

maybe I should mention the sites im finding enjoyable stuff at:

sijis.com
eclecticmeme.com
archive.org
starfrosch.ch
kahvi.org
subsource.de
thinner.cc
scene.org
sonicsquirrel.net
netlabelism.net - good place to start

some of the digital labels are good stuff, some of them really suck. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for. TBH I an enjoying the free stuff moreso than I am the mp3 shops, free stuff seems much more shocking to hear, more suprises and excitement, more unfamiliar things. I guess I get alot more unexpected pleasure out of digging around the net, but shops are more predicatble, they stock the stuff that sells.

Are digital "labels" killing EDM?

NO.

word!

I prefered to see good labels refusing my tracks instead of accepting my first tracks. It pushed me to work more.

Eh, I'm not trying to prove anything, so no argument is really neccessary. Just stating my opinion, albeit a simple one.


Cheers,

I'd like you to elaborate a bit, though. This is meant to be a discussion after all.

I think the point is that if everybody releases crap tunes then it makes it alot harder to find the good ones, because not everybody has the time to dig through all the new tracks that come out.

Wow, that doesn't make any sense.

The problem is labels like the ones you are associated with oversaturate the market with half-assed toss, which will eventually lead in people giving up the genre completely because there's simply too much samey music to listen to.

Exactly, I agree. I have gotten sick of the sameness with trance releases, and am more into progressive and breaks (really into progrssive breaks, and more melodic progressive). There needs to be some better tunes!
