By 07 I got offered a record deal by the Label "Insect Mind" they had a amazing roster of artists including Cyrus, Hatcha, DFRNT, The Widdler.. So I was naive and was like "YES!" signed the contract and sent them wavs and the masters came back... They was all compressed to crap and sounded awful and they tried to tell me money was spent on these masters... So anyway, the release goes out and from what I know for sure, at least 40 people bought it from friends/family to support my first ever release, I only had to make 24$ to start getting paid so, I should of at least of gotten a bit of pocket change. I am still waiting to get paid, the labels disappeared and not one soul was paid who I contacted about it.
also the worst dj i have ever heard in my 10+ years of electronic musicing. never trainwrecked once though...you gotta actually try to match beats for that to happen.FSTZ wrote:insectmind dude (Milkman) was from Kansas City

sometimes these things take a while
all about going with the flow
being the water in the river instead of the branch sticking up out of the water
that's what I'm getting at
How Zen or perhaps Taoist...I dunno in my opinion the cream rises to the top. There are cases I am sure but usually there are good reasons why someone doesn't make it. People talk about the magnitude of shit hot unsigned producers out there. I just don't see it. If I am wrong kindly break me off a soundcloud address or something. For serious.symmetricalsounds wrote:not true, shitloads of people out there that never have or ever will get the props they deserve.FSTZ wrote:, but follow the love and the fun and you'll get the recognition you deserve.

do you mind doing a bunch of promotion work, marketing etc or would you just rather be in the studio working on tunes
that is the main advantages to labels
by no means am trying to give the impression that getting signed is some magic ticket
