[davethedrummer]

well i just spent a couple of days with pete gawtry here in brasil
and obviously we got talking about the demise of the shop.
he's totally gutted and has been cleaned out by the liquidators

he's trying to remain in good spirits and it sounds like he's going to get his djing career going alongside running yin yang , but it's an uphill stuggle for him from now on , and this business is getting tougher and tougher almost by the day.

but i must say all this talk about promo selling so far has all been a bit crap.
i know tune inn used to sell our promo's too , but at the end of the day we kind of let it go because we realised that they were just trying to drum up sales and general interest in their shop.
now i know selling promo's isn't strictly correct business but look at the situation......they've gone down... hardly made them millionaires did it?
by the way , everybody else sold promo's too and if you are running a label properly you should have promo costs budgeted for anyway.


at the end of the day pete and chris both struck me as genuine techno lovers who were doing their bit to keep the industry rolling along. they would regularly send me their promo's from yin yang , and some of them were great and stayed in the box for some time.
( of course the others went straight to the record and tape exchange....not)

i'm not condoning selling promo's on but at the same time if you are talking about one or two t.p.s it's a bit pathetic to get so heated up about it.
i mean we would send promo's to dj's who would probably just chuck them in the bin anyway , so in a way selling them on at least ensures that they get to someone who actually values it and will play it , hoppefully generating more sales.

there is a common attitude in the music business where people just think that giving anything for free in anyway is bad business practise .
this is the entertainment industry , it is highly competitive and relies on promotional material to be available top whoever needs it when they need it.
records being played in clubs DO generate sales , i am being asked ALL THE TIME about tracks i have played at gigs around the world and many of them are not my own , i try my best to i.d. tracks for people and i'm sure they go and buy them after that quite happily , essentially taking up my time to put money into other peoples pockets. but i have no problem with that.

so...my message is...
think of the whole scene not just yourself , and have the philosophy that if you help someone else one day they will help you.

obvious isn't it?

r.i.p. tune inn
who provided a service for all techno lovers against all odds.

Heh yea. Thats how I feel. I wonder if those artists who are banging on about 'bad practice' are using warezed software? I personally feel that some approach this game with too of a buisness orientated attitude and for me to take this stance would be somewhat hypocritical

[The Divide]

*approach this game with too much of a buisness orientated attitude*

True, I`ve had promo`s sold at various shops, I`d already factored promo`s into my budget, and they are product that I give away not expecting any return other than buzz and sales hype. So for them to get sold on to a DJ who then proudly plays his promo to others who haven`t got the proper release, and therefore generating a buzz, is a worthy price to pay for the sake of the 2 quid I lose out on.

Plus it means the shop selling em gets a few more quid to keep em running, and I`d rather loose a few quid to promo`s from one shop, than the whole shop going down, and me not selling any further vinyl at that outlet.

I`ve seen copies of DB001 1st pressing (the ones with proper labels) go on ebay for 60 quid (mainly down to sasha caining it). I didn`t ask the ebay sellers for any of that money, which I think is the same as promo`s getting sold.
It still generated massive buzz, and refllected in the sales of the represses.

Really there are far more important problems within this industry to get seriously agg about.

totally true db
by the way many thanks for the promo of your last release
sorry i didn't put it into the chart , it was only because i wrote the chart from memory here in brasil , and once i get home i'll fill it in properly when i can sit with a deck and listen to the records in full.
