[detfella]

who are the main players of distribution at the moment?

is prime still in operation? or integral?

[DJZeMig_L]

I would say,

Intergroove, Neuton, Just Music, Cyber..... in that order, hope I'm not wrong...

jaxx.

[Jimfish]

what about triple man? or are you counting them as neuton?

what exactly IS the relationship between triple and neuton??

[Dustin Zahn]

Yeah, don't leave out Triple Vision or Jaxx. Here in the U.S. we also have Complete and Rhythmic...but there isn't much U.S. techno to begin with anyway.

You could also argue that ELP's new electronic label pool (fancy name for distribution) is a top player, carrying all the bigger techno labels (some labels really good, some awfully bad).

Anybody know the current status on EFA? All of the grapevine rumors I have heard haven't been good.

[DJZeMig_L]

Yeah but ELP works with a very limited number of labels and don't think they want 2 expand unless U r a heavy playa! :(

EFA i think is good for more leftfield stuff, I know Tony form this forum was working on something along the same lines, he seems 2 b a straight up guy, I prefer 2 sell few but not b swindled.. if u know what I mean!

Yeah...I just brought up ELP and the fact that they were now around as a major player...not so much as a potential distributor for someone. Z is right, you better be a bomb ass producer or good friends with people to get into ELP.

As for EFA I wasn't speaking musically, I was speaking more finacially. Seeing as how Kanzleramt has left EFA and I heard some other rumors (which will be kept to myself in all due respect) that they may be the next to go. Like I said though, I've only heard rumors.

[MARKEG]

hmmm i heard that rumour too. i wonder.

[Dustin Zahn]

I was just in the shop today and also heard Tresor was pulling out from EFA as well. :shock:
