Dubstepforum.com

[quote="Plastician"] They are the choice of members of the FORUM and not the general listening public, but a small fraction of it.
[/quote] The voice agrees 100% with this statement , the voice works in the distribution end of music and we see time after time tracks from labels that have evolved on the back of a forum( if you look around this forum you can see plenty of forum based labels and producers) do not sell , i check here ever day and see hype about so&so forum members tracks being great , i see some of them come on to vinyl and then sell about 100/200 copys
plus a lot of the forum djs on internet radio shows such as subfm/rinse etc etc etc don't really lend any weight to promoting your track , the voice gets 100's of requests a month looking for promo 320's etc from internet radio djs but i dont bother giving them anything becuase they maybe play to an average of 3 - 150 listeners. . . one mary ann Hobbs is worth 50 internet radio djs playing your track .
so the point the voice is making is that the forums are not the be all and end all of the scene and should not be treated as such.

if i had space in my sig, that would be there

I think I now have to steal that idea.

p.s. "The Voice" seriously needs to stop talking about itself in third person. Way annoying...

the voice needs to up it's 'person' game, it appears to switch randomly from third person to first person to first person plural

(although i do generally agree with the point it's making)


incidentally, if i heard any paleospheric neo-step in the dance i would stroke my beard to a messy climax without doubt

does the voice of reason sound more computery than say the voice of Logic or the voice of cubase? would you say that the voice of fruity loops is on a par?

xx xy needs answers to these questions

The same goes for two step vs choppage in dnb.
