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

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.
like yeah it is a bit annoying how tunes take ages to come out, but in swamp 81s case i dont really care anyway as im not into their stuff as much as i used to be, but its their fucking choice! They can do whatever the fuck they want mate! Thats the problem these days, people think they are entitled to music, as it can be downloaded for free they seem to think that they can get anything when they want, the music isnt yours its the creators, it's up to them to decide how and when its released and how much it costs, not the consumer.
