Just a quick rant about the label swamp 81.

[Blueshiva]

There is so much more besides the swamp...

[dylanlolwut]

let's be honest, it's not 81 years, because otherwise we'd still be waiting on the second release.

It's called sarcasm...

[dylanlolwut]

i hate the fact i have to wait 81 years for them to release a track. I'm waiting on sooo many fucking tunes to be available to purchase on wav./vinyl yet it takes them month to release anything! Does anyone else have this frustration?

to be fair though, i love swamp and loefah

entitled attitude
grow up son

lol.
no

the irony...

[pdomino]

Drowning in irony...

people moaning about waiting for releases... i recall in the garage days you had to wait sometimes years for stuff to come out, and there was no internet to track it down, you had to travel to an actual record shop
Peeps don't appreciate how easy they got it thesedays

What T! said.... replace keyboard with your feet, travelling and sifting through vinyl, shops and dealing with actual people.

Not really m8 I get bored of alot of tunes after the 3rd week by the time theyre released its still awesome but it wears off and just gets played once in a while. Hmu if you agree

IMO you should just be glad they are getting a release, and the product that is coming, is what the artist/label intends and wants.

Loefah himself addressed a previous uprise of aggression towards this issue a while ago, you can find it in an interview with the man himself, if you search.


I don't share this frustration

Loefah isn't god man. Allow the bum talk.

[Soul_Of_Seun]

As long as the final product is top quality, I will wait.

Loefah: "Ah mate, I learnt this back in dubstep: you can’t please all the people all the time."

We have to listen to producers and labels bitch and moan incessantly year after year about not making any money and how the "scene has moved on" and bullshit excuses like this. Then you ask them where their tunes are and they want to hold on to them for God-knows-what reason (to help DJs? Why?) and keep the tunes exclusive.

Meanwhile fans have a podcast from 18 months ago where Loefah rinsed out ALL of his best tunes that they have saved to their computer. They listen to it at work, on the way to school, on the bus, at the gym. They know every track, every minute of every tune. And eventually they tire of it and move on.

Nearly 2 years later Loefah will release the tune, a record will sell 5000 copies in stores and maybe sell a few thousand MP3s online. Then he'll mope about and complain about how there's not a lot of money in it for him. Rinse and repeat.

I mean, what the fuck? Did Kanye sit on "Mercy" for 2 years? That shit hit the Internet and the NEXT DAY it was up for sale.

I will not and will NEVER understand why producers of any kind of underground electronic music whether it be jungle/idm/techno/house/dubstep/fuckingwhateverstep SIT on tunes to profit NOBODY except fucking DJs and nightclub promoters.

GET YOUR FUCKING TUNES OUT THE DOOR. MAKE MONEY. FUCK BITCHES.

What if you're tryna get shit signed?
I totally get the beef with "Yo, this is coming out on my label next month..." and then not getting that for another year, but shit man, allow the producers.

Bro, I hate to say it but the less releases = the more easy it is to contain piracy. Or something like that. Just try to pirate Swamp stuff. It's near impossible (GL gettin a copy of One of Us).

Are you fucking kidding me? You must be really bad at pirating.

[Shum]

Isn't that their only digital release? That should be the easiest

This.

Tbh, the only tune I ever really WANTED was Music Deep Inside by Zed Bias, when I searched for that I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING came up...

Even shit that hadn't been out yet...

Your whole post revolved around the idea of trying to make money. I've got a crazy idea...

Maybe he doesn't make all his decisions based on how much money he will make...



I've never heard him "complain about how there's not a lot of money in it for him".

That whole post just sounded obnoxious to me.
