Hey everyone
i no everyone thinks theres too many labels out there but were trying to have a label that has a similar style in all our tracks.
thanks |
On the contrary, there are not enough labels out there who are willing to try and break the trend of the current trance scene.
Best of luck with this
Cheers

I also think that if you were to find some really good tracks, you wont get them signed, cause obviouslty, quality tracks, most often goes to the bigger labeles. Meaning that your are stuck with the remains from producers who doesnt get signed to bigger labels.
Thats just what i think about the case of all those digital labels these days.

It seems to me like everyone wants to take his piece of the cake, thinking their digital label will be the next big thing in the trance scene ... but it's just not that easy. If you really want to be respected by DJ's, producers and listeners, you have to look serious. And for that, you have to do a bit more than just uploading tracks on mp3 stores and sending spam messages on MySpace :)
This is not aimed at you only but at all the pseudo-labels out there (eventhough the simple fact that you aren't willing to spend money to release music on a material support - CD or vinyl - puts you in the same category as any other pseudo-label).
In my opinion, good music deserves to be released on a material support (preferably with some artwork). That's what i expect from a good release as a listener and as a producer.
Just my 2 cent - I'm sorry I posted those negative comments in your thread, but I had to take this off my chest as I feel it's not doing any good to the trance scene. |

why dont you start a big label, that possesses good quality trance rather than just picking up random average from random producers, which you can sell at no risk at all.
sorry for my negativity.. but i dont think all these digital labels overflooding the marked will do any good for the scene. quality not quantity.
but by all means, good luck with it. |
i so ing agree, these digital labels are so pointless & are destroying the scene, i rarely find anything good from them.
They just sign whatever they find.
Good digital labels are: Realmusic, no smoking recordings, feralcode records & sentient audio collective who takes the time to find really good music instead of just taking whatever they find.
But labels like "Total Digital", "moonrising records", "ampire digital recordings" keeps releases after ..
I know that there are alot more of these labels.. |

how are digital labels pointless? probably pointless to a producer whose after a big release. but bear in mind that without the digital labels where would the djs who use cdjs or ableton get their material. vinyl is in major decline and all those who think if they get signed to a vinyl label their will sell millions are sadly mistaken. |

Few things I would question here Barry :)
1. I wouldn't be so quick to say that Vinyl is in decline, if so then why do the big labels continue to press and sell them? I think that certain vinyls actually sell out completely, such as O'Callaghan vs Kearney - Exactly. It seems to be a phrase that people who are starting a digital label say, no doubt without any statistics to back it up....
2. Also, who is going to sell millions these days anyway? Certainly not a trance record anyway...so I'm not sure there's many people actually thinking that if they get signed to Armada for example, that they will sell over a million records.
I think the thing that separates digital only labels from Vinyl and CD labels is that the label likes your track enough to invest money and time promoting it, pressing it to vinyl, and then selling it. With digital labels there's no risk, so where's the quality control?
Anyway Barry, good luck with the label. |

vinyl is on decline. ok so there are still people out there like me who have their turntables. but no major djs in the trance world who i have seen in the past 2 years have used turntables. thats including places like precious, elephant rooms even shine in belfast even though that tech house.
the only reason why vinyl sells more at the minute is for the fact that it is vinyl but as vinyl goes up in price people are fed up with it. you dont know until you buy vinyl and then you look at digital and realise im not paying that. for example i saw O'Callaghan vs Kearney - Exactly in mixmaster for £8.00 and on audiojelly for around £2.00. no guesses to which one i bought.
vinyl will die out in the trance scene. |

Of course it's cheaper, mp3 is an inferior quality product after all.
...and you seemed to skip over the quality control question entirely. |

I dont see any problems with Digital Labels. Vinyl pressing
costs lots of money and you need to sell big time to get
the money back.
Also Digital releases doesnt automatically mean that track
is crap and its not promoted in right way. Of course there
are labels who are putting out very ty releases but
thats their problem..
As an artist it doesnt matter if track is released on a
vinyl or in digital format, you get about same amount of
money if it sells good. If it sells badly, you still get something from a digital release, but nothing from vinyl
release (cause the costs are so much higher)
And in the end how much excellent tracks we would have
missed without some digital labels?
Labels releasing are anyway dying at some point. |
