Its called "dubplate culture"

care to explain a little more

there are many reasons, sometimes a tune contains a sample that can not be cleared. sometimes the tune doesn't warrant distribution. some dj's believe in having their own unique sets and sounds and want the only time u can hear the tune to be on a rig on the floor.... these are just a tiny fraction of dubplate culture... here's a link to a post that goes into a little more detail, although i would take it with a grain of salt. http://afromonk.com/2010/03/dubplate-culture/

...and sometimes there's no point releasing a tune, only for it to be torrented within hours and make fuck all money, when you can keep them all to yourself and make $$$ playing exclusive DJ sets of tunes no-one else has got...

wicked article link, thanks fractal
