Benefits of releasing an EP over singles?

Looking for quality insight and discussion, I know how 80% of DSF loves to troll

An EP is just generally a single these days. People love to throw the word EP around for anything these days.

More tunes than a single, less tunes than an album.

Bitches love EP's

they are longer than singles, but not too long

you get the chance to make more than one first impression if someone hasnt heard your music before, as they're more likely to see the EP grouped together than various singles grouped together if they're not on your soundcloud and don't want to click through from where they are. it can also be a brief display of the whole spectrum of your productions if you produce more than one style of music.

personally i just like them better, cant really put my finger on why. i guess they give an excuse to contain album art too

just do a single + 5 remixes and call it an ep

Personally feel like an EP should be cohesive, and be more of a "sit down and listen" type experience, where a single might just be made for the dance.

you can use it as a chance to release a shit track that no one else wants cos no one will really care and just skip it but then you can still say its released and hype it up to be good

i've always identified that feeling with albums personally.
