Me and countless others will soon be playing it.
I think Swish had the power to be dubplate only and I wouldn't of complained but the fact Pinch is finally on Deep Medi (where he deserves to be) and the fact I can't wait to put this tune in my next mix is exciting too!
What, at home and then on to your soundcloud? Or do you actually command the frequent bookings at major venues where this could create the
presumed issue being made?
I think I take issue with this absurd notion of idealizing
exclusivity which many of you uphold; you are not Youngsta nor Distance with the privileges such connections afford in the community, so why--as I would imagine you to be first and foremost--a fan of the music see it beneficial to deny it to be in the hands of others? (For whatever purposes they may be.) I mean I've been toying with mixing in my limited spare time for a few months now, but its unlikely I'll ever get a booking mainly because of my selection, location and understanding of what dubstep actually is, but my actual ambition in doing so is not to acquire said booking but rather to play the tracks that I like in higher quality, even if I'm only playing to myself. And, just as you are likely to have done, have have found Swish to be crucial and highly desirable since first having heard it.
Its this, and I hate to use this term, convoluted form of
elitism that excludes others, evidently yourself included, from having what is being allowed by the producer to be sold... I'll stop myself here because this begins to extend into
extolling the virtues of Free Market Capitalism, which I have regrettably done here once more to my psychological detriment and patience.
So I'll end by saying: bag on sight. Big up The Pinch!
