Do you listen to radio edits?

If there's a full version of a track, is it necessary to listen to a radio edit?

If I were obliged to listen to a recent Anjunabeats release I would probably pray there is a short edit.

Obviously not, but I have noticed a trend that a lot of dance producers only upload edits onto Spotify these days to increase their streams.

That's savage.

I've noticed that some 'extended' mixes these days of commercial crap on Spotify / Beatport are less than 4 minutes.

Radio edits are needed for mainstream radio especially if a track contains vocals. I always look out for extended versions over 6 minutes, but like mentioned to my surprise I also recently found an extended version of only 4:25 minutes in my Beatport bin.

Radio edits are for playlists and parties.

When it's your turn to connect via BT, the last thing you want is to bore people by scrolling through a record to get to the juicy part.

Unless it's the first or last track of the session.

Get to the point and keep it moving.

I avoid radio edits like the plague, but if I'm building a Spotify playlist for a night when I anticipate sharing music, I'll throw some in there if they're available.

Also good for creating playlists for your wife to run to without getting bored :o
