yeah that is shitty, especially from an underground dance music record label, aren't they missing a big part of the point of DJ culture and why a lot of their customers buy the tunes in the first place?
I doubt it was Skull Disco. Appleblim is sound, he doesn't strike me as the type to get militant about this kind of shit at all. Can't speak for Shackleton cos I've never met him, but I doubt its either of their doings. Probably some new Soundcloud policy or something.

But yeah, use Mixcloud for mixes!
Not met Shackleton but from everything I've heard about him he seems even less likely to act like that than Appleblim (and Appleblim is one of the soundest guys I've met in the scene)

Most likely going to be Rough Trade as they supposedly license the Skull Disco shit and they don't come from a dance background. They probably have a blanket ban on anything they own being uploaded in any way by someone else. They put out some pretty big albums. If someone just decided to upload all the songs on there and give a download link I think they would be pissed.

Doesn't really work like that as it reads the waveform after you upload and stops the upload if it recognises anything.

I can understand why soundcloud have done it but MEH.

Dont like mixcloud as the people that would listen to my mixes would do so in car/mp3 player etc so they would need to download. Not too bothered by using an upload site but they sure do look suspect...
Hmm that's strange I see people do it all the time, and I myself have done it you just cant put it up for download or if you do it can't be sold period! Like even Figure has like 10 or so in all his tracks.
