Did I really just read all of this, they are only a small label and doubt people would boycott them.

my favourite part:

They are tapu (your word taboo is a corruption of our word tapu)

as if the rest didn't go in enough

tbf, if this wasn't an underground techno(ish) label that people on here really liked, you know the majority of snh would be massively disapproving of this cultural appropriation...

very intelligent response

I don't have any releases from Livity sound and I reckon it's fair game. No worse than jay z calling his album magna carta.

Nah, we don't base central pillars of our spiritual life on the magna carta man. As the guy in his blog explained, shit is serious to them, and continues to be, in a big way. Also, Jay Z isn't from a people that systematically enslaved and oppressed English barons in the 13th century.

Don't think any offence was intended, to them, it was just something that looked cool. Either way, seems like there's been a peaceful resolution. Personally I wouldn't be othered, but I guess it's how many people do wanna offend for the sake of label artwork?

Now to stop all you white folk takin the piss out of man like Jah.

I agree with you as I thought the artwork just looked nice and had no real meaning behind it. The guy could have just sent a friendly email to them, it's not like they are a huge operation and need to social media to get some sort of response out of them.

bigup pev on that response, really well-written and considered

wouldn't be surprised if they were already planning a change in artistic direction anyway tbh, with the cd coming out n that

i dunno, it's easy to scream "vested interest you hypocrites" but really i don't really listen to livity but i've got a few quibbles with the article

nothing to do with fanboyism

Nah, just because you don't listen to livity sound, I bet you still like or at least respect Pev, Kowton et al.

it doesn't matter though. i like kowton but that has nothing to do with my opinion. the points where i disagree i'd still disagree if it was dmz or a generic eurotrance label.

you aren't giving the snh enough credit. ppl are smart enough to have uncoloured opinions

This is more like putting jesus or muhammad on the cover.

Jesus yes, but not Muhammad. I don't see what's offensive about the artwork, if anything it promotes Maori culture.

Some believe that youre not supposed to depict muhammad, which ties in a little bit better with what the professor wrote.

How does that promote maori culture? How is an outsider to know that its maori and not hawaiian, tongan, samoan, etc? Its just ignorant, and thats whats offensive about these sorts of mishaps.

the "saga" continues.

why haven’t they pulled off the current ones and replace them? Hell I can do it in 2 minutes tops

Their artwork is out there now, he can't do anything about it unless he wants to foot the bill you change all of the products currently in store with alternative artwork. This guy is being super unreasonable expecting a small label to do such a thing.
Think I will be buying a Livity Sound release tomorrow!

Might be a good excuse to get Pev, Kowton & Asusu over here. Cultural exchange.

hopefully they won't pull off the release
omg someone used one of your symbols by accident. get over yourself
also fuck having to double check anything you do so someone on the other side of the planet won't get butthurt

plenty of people in here got no idea what they're talking about.

elaborate pls

i think im starting to like chief keef
love sosa is a tune tho damn

lil durk is still garbage tho

i just mean in general todo with maoridom.
