It does require some kind of talent to make connections and gain power. I certainly couldn't do it. Does that mean they rightfully possess their power or that they've done anything creatively talented? No. It's just like with any other type of 'institution', if u can call it that. Popular ppl who know how to play the game acquire more power than they deserve, when really the creators should have the power. But the creators are typically not power-driven or power-minded ppl, so they kinda get fucked in the end.

...at least what i've observed. in music or not in music.

if you're complaining about people uploading radio rips, get over yourself

[m8son666]

get over yourself

[bennyfroobs]

nah man complaining about shit like aliasizm, people getting inflated egoes for no reason n that

i agree tbbh

got nowt against radio rips, ive heard some sick tunes on that LibraryUk channel and they are always on point with the quick uploads. and it gives me ideas for good mixes to listen to. i mean there is some (lots of) bait tech house swemp84 shit but every now and again i see a name i recognise (Lakosa / Rick Grant / Caski) and appreciate hearing the new choonz

nobody's complaining about people uploading radio rips. It's uploading radio rips, having a blog etc then acting like you're an integral part of a scene despite really contributing less than someone who just buys the records.

What dubunked said about people being good at social politics makes sense in that context though.

TBF maybe Aliazism specifically aren't that arrogant, haven't met them.

i've always thought all those blogs/youtube channels were just one person. are they actually "theys"??

[garethom]

Basically nothing valuable behind the brand that couldn't be achieved by joe schmoe on youtube.

Before you start doing anything musically, should ask yourself, am I doing something that people can't do themselves? If it's starting a "label" and all you're doing is taking someone's mp3s and putting up a download link, can't the artist just do it themselves? If you're starting a "blog" and just posting youtube videos, can't I just go on youtube myself and do it?

too many breddas wanting the net "fame" but don't wanna expend the long term effort to make something good and worthwhile.

unwise pre-gym wank

[bennyfroobs]

yea idk if they are arrogant or not i was just using them as an example but tbh how they describe themselves as Notorious radio rippers abd sell tshirts sounds pretty obnoxious


tbf i do post utnes on a 'blog' and i do have a youtube 'channel' but its not rips its just loads of free downloads 4 everyone

[ehbes]

im gonna rip all your guy's music grab a hispter girl image add a logo and make bare p off all your music

smd

[ultraspatial]

yeah but it's hard to get known without being bait tbh. and since there's so many peeps with blogs and shit out there, it's hard to actually stand out. you could be all professional with well written articles or you could document twitter beef

hardly pay attention to music blogs or yt channels these days tbh. i don't care about hearing the newest untitled dub from y producer x dj is playing. i'll care when it gets released

as for music journalism, i got a fucking love/hate thing with it. cause well written pieces are a rarity amongst a sea of hype, endless reposts of press releases and boring interviews. some articles and interviews i read recently actually made me want to not listen to things ffs.
and am i the only one thinking reviews are becoming more and more pointless? i mean, with yt rips, previews on sc and shops etc. what can you possibly add to it other than some references to shit it reminds you of/sounds like and say you rate it? no surprise that some blogs just repost stuff cause people can listen to it themselves.

Yeah this, also this:

Not sure yet man, sc hasn't updated the stats on the track yet. It seems like it but i dunno what the guy is getting out of it, why would he pay for people to play my track? haha.

[OGLemon]

get huneyz

everything I do relates to this goal

[ezza]

There's so many talentless sycophants in the 'underground' music scene

Go on then, who?

If i were to name them all it would take days haha

I mean all these bullshit little blogs that do nothing but repost someone's music and make up some pretentious bullshit. Also all the youtube channels that rip and post other people's music from other people's mixes. It requires no talent yet some people i vaguely know who do these things act like there really big in the scene and that what they do requires some talent which it doesn't. Also fucking hell don't get me started on all these ticket selling wankers who would suck the dick of a promoter to get the opening set of a gig.

I suppose they are necessary for the scene but it still pisses me off.

start following good dance music

the shit shit your on about i only see when its 130/some chill ambient rip off or any of the post dubstep/urban bollocks

[m8son666]

hmm yh i suppose no-one makes radio rips of keane

[garethom]

Somebody's been hanging around with Wolf.

[ezza]
