i got an email yesterday saying i was being refunded for my tunes... not sure if that means they're never going to listen to them or if they liked them or what
Guessing that the whole initiative is being cancelled.
Got that email too…

why do you give a shit what benga thinks?
surely if your making music you should be doing it for yourself
This basically. How he can even have the front to charge people to listen to their music is unbelievable. What's more unbelievable is people actually doing it
If you like your music and think others will then send it to DJ's / Producers (who don't charge) in the hope they will listen and play it without being paid to. Alternatively, learn to mix (if you cant already) and start trying to get opening sets at small nights. If your music delivers then I'm sure after a while you'll get the recognition you think your music deserves.

Benga charging 2 quid to not listen to your tunes ruined dubstep

I had forgotten all about this. What a genius idea. From now on, anyone who sends a soul motive demo out, needs to send a cd with an eighth of grade in there for me to even consider sending feedback.
If someone wants to charge you for doing things with your music, never, ever, do it.

I'll listen to your tune for 75 cents, or 2 for 1$

Somoene could make a lot of money doing this...
I predict email spam from Skrillex's "Brother in law" offering aspiring/desperate bedroom producers the chance to have Skrillex listen to your tune for about $3.50. For tax purposes though it will be best if you just email him your credit card details.
