We recently went to VIP Ultima and its WAY better. Much larger roster of relevant artists and their feedback system is much more sophisticated. Highly recommended. |
I've looked at the site.
I'm struggling to see the point of it? Looks like just paying for feedback?
:conf: |

but's that's like paying 30 euro's as artist, to dump your free promo's into a pool. So the DJ's get their free playlist and you still sell ? I mean on Beatport i get played with new releases and purchased if they like me. I am not looking for A&R, i am looking to sell.
I might tray the 14 day free trial, see how much traction i get, but for me it seems quite expensive |

Its about promotion. Member artists basically get the tracks for free and early by being members of the site. The reason it has value is that the member roster has a ton of big name DJ's.
Case in point, any track on ASOT, TATW, GDJB, Nocturnal, etc gets bigger sales as opposed to tracks that are just "out there". A lot of those podcasts and radio shows are some of the most popular in EDM and get played regularly on places like XM/Sirius. Also remember that these types of shows thrive on exclusivity. They want the music before its available for sale to the general public. Its all about creating a "buzz" for your track before it goes on sale.
There is a long history of artists being launched simply be being charted, played on a compilation, or otherwise supported by a big name DJ. Sander Klienenberg basically took off after he got two of his tracks on Sashas GU013. He still rides that wave today.

well i posted the track on the production forum and everyone agreed it was a good track just needed some fixes i agreed with and fixed them, i've played only once on a club with very good reactions, i used short of a psychological effect.
I heard that the Backstreet boys got famous because of a videoclip where they were chased by female fans completely mad about them, they appeared like a really sucessful band when they were nothing at that point. In my case i used crowd noises at some parts of the track and it's kinda contagious, people start to scream in the same way too, is a catchy track but on the production side it can be a bit amateur.
In conclussion i highly doubt is a worth track from them despite of this since i see they play very polished stuff, i mean they have loads of very good stuff and mine is possibly "less good" but on the other hand i can send to them without any major risk, i will upload a sample tomorrow so you can judge if it is the kind of thing they could be interested in. |

nah i don't expect to be famous tomorrow :) i had no hurry for signing a track, i have no hurry to play on amnesia... but just thought that why not trying to speed up things a bit :p if one of this names plays your tracks then is like you passed some steps and sending them an email is not hard, just wanted to know some self experiences and i think you are the man seeing your signature :)
And what about that Breakfast story, i heard he put a demo cd during a gig @glow but haven't got much information. Well i am not even close to Breakfast so i'd not bother him giving a cd to Ferry besides i'll be very close to him in 2 weeks :D |
