really, it's none of your business. There could be innumerable reasons for the delays and there is no way that you would be aware of them - however you assume you have all the facts and make bold assumptions on that basis.

When the tunes come out, buy them or don't. How busy people are and how they prioritise their time is up to them.

I'm a consumer and I own his back catalogue. That goes for Tempa, Hotflush, Shift, etc.

As a consumer his business practices are... ready for this one... MY BUSINESS. How he does business will affect his sales. How he is perceived will affect his sales. Don't you mean IF the tunes come out?

Obviously they aren't or this topic wouldn't exist. Frankly, it's kinda waste how people bounce from topic to topic I post in and even bother replying to argue with me. I get it... if you are a known producer or a moderator forum rules and tact don't apply. If you're Mala, you can do whatever you want.

If the bus runs on time, the government must be working.... don't fix the potholes in the road.

the odyssey! lol. yeah i was thinking the other day it's been tiiiiime since the last deep medi or dmz, and yeah it's slightly annoying that a lot of great tunes still aren't out after a year or more, but you dont let it wind you up....just enjoy the music that is coming out. as seckle said, it must be a serious chore sometimes to be putting out releases, especially if you're running two labels, dj'ing and trying to find time to produce

em i think mala owns the back catalogue. you bought a copy of one of the tunes.

As for business well mala out of all the big dubstep names, seems not bothered about makin loads of money or turfing out endless amounts of tunes. He's doesnt seem to do much radio sets either. I'm sure i've heard people say he's not bothered about over exposing himself. So when he does put a tune out its maybe bit special. Frustrating yes but i find theres always something fresh to listen to.

personally i would be thankful mala has put out some of the best dubstep i've heard. Started one of the biggest nights. All that has probably taken lot of graft an maybe risk at the beginning. I seriously doubt he's a dubstep millionaire, perhaps he makes enough to pay the bills from dubstep buy equipment, put out records, on nights etc. doubt much more than that.

So perhaps mala's aim isnt to get your money not surprising as this is the underground. Meaning you being a consumer doesnt mean shit.

i can't believe this post

yeah pretty arrogant.

unlikely wrote:Release more of your own tunes please mala!

yes please, iv'e been throwing my dummy out of my pram each time another dmz/medi is released without drunken swagger or livin different on it...wahhhhh

lol at people complaining about mala putting the planning, preparation and effort into putting lots of records out, people who havent put loads of records out themselves or achieved 1% of the things he and the DMZ crew have. give it a rest, the man's busy.

lol at people trying to rush a label called Deep Meditation.

in all seriousness this is just like the dubplate-winge argument. people complain about dubplates taking ages to come out, which is arse backwards to me: It's not a release coming out late, it's a dubplate being heard early. Same applies to Medi releases: if they'd never been announced, you'd never know they're 'late.'

You know what I mean. I own the entire DMZ and Deep Medi cats. Sure a copy of all of them, but the entire discog, none the less. Some of them are doubles as well. If Mala's aim isn't to get my money, point out the last tune he gave away for free.

Don't worry, I'll wait.

@phobang: good luck on the label mate, you are clearly very skilled in PR

Best way to look at it really.

i like your logic mr blackdown.

who cares

yah i want the silkie & quest plates... both those forthcomings are huge.

but members of anti-social themself said early 09... i can deal.

i rather wait and know im getting a quality plate, quality release, makin sure those tests presses when they come back are really what the producer/artist wants everyone to hear, etc.

This phobang dude surely is just a troll, right?

No, because you seem to thrive on winding people up and being a bit of a prick.
