I hate to admit this, but im obsessive compulsive about organized music. I like knowing the name of music and knowing the exact mix ect. I have a system of organization for my music and it has been the best way i have seen to organize music. My system is like so:
Artist - Song [Remix](Featuring)
Anyways i have noticed on a couple of occasions that some Trance, House or whatever it may be have the word Presents in it. For example Lange Presents Firewall - Sincere 2005 [Lange Mix] What does Present mean? Is it just like Featuring and is it the first or second artist who is doing the song?
Before i go id just like to know one more thing. Do the artist that present other artist do that just to get credit for a song or what is the deal with that? |

| Using your example, Lange actually is Firewall. Basically it's a way of getting the bigger named alias (ie. Lange) onto the same record; presumably to boost sales. |

And Armin Van Buuren presents Perpetuous Dreamer??
Well, that works, cos it took discogs for me to realise Armin and Perpetuous Dreamer/Rising Star etc were one and the same...
Mmmm.... what about Matt Darey presents Mash Up ay?? Cos that's a group innit? |

| I think it's more to do with licensing issues on various labels. |

Join the club. :p
I'm a perfectionist when it comes to file names, mp3 tags, tracklists and such.
And I have my own system as well. :tongue2 |

I don't think that's always the case.
Case in point: Libra Presents Taylor - "Anomaly- Calling Your Name"
Libra=BT alias, Taylor=Taylor. That was a joint production. Yet BT somehow presents Taylor. As in he's introducing him or featuring him..?
Confusing . |

no, it's just Matt Darey.
an example you're probably after that doesn't make any sense is Markus Schulz presents Elevation. |

I was gonna ask about that since I read somewhere that Markus Schulz doesn't actually produce the track at all. :conf: |

Markus Schulz pres. Elevation - Clear Blue
Jose Amnesia pres. Tiffany - Heaven Drops
In the first case, I'm pretty sure Markus just helped Elevation master his original track... As far as Jose Amnesia pres. Tiffany; no idea... |

Yes, I've seen far too many people who think MS = Elevation, but it's simply not the case...
He was just helping a talented, but young producer, get his track out there...
So yes, Elevation = Mike, not Markus :D |

| alright i know i took a long time to post something but seriously im still confused...if im organizing something like Lange Pres. Firewall - Sincere 2005 [Lange Mix] how the hell should i organize it? should i get rid of lange and just put Firewall - Sincere 2005 [Lange Mix]?Im sry im being this way but i hate when this happens and it screws my way of organization up. I also hate when i dont have full songs but im starting to get used to that. Only with EDM will i allow that..preferably Trance and House etc. |

| Honestly I don't care anymore, my PC's sound has been ed for a while and I'm too lazy to get it fixed by my PC genius friends. I have not downloaded anything in ages on my PC and I could'nt care less about the correct mix name. |
