    haha i'd rather just not sell records. And it's only banter, he's probably a lovely chap, just a bit too fond of his own releases maybe.

    i dont even know what Naked Lunch is, i know Apaul though

    you should check out naked lunch.. probably one of the most underrated labels around.

    I don't see any problem with it if he wants to push his own releases in his top 10 then why not I don't understand why people have to slate him for it fair play to him if he wants to promote them
    All u need is a good ear for music!

    yes it is a bit self-incestuous isnt it. And hardly genuine... not very likely to make extra sales. But people do what they do eh!

    wow what a response of this topic..
    did i ever ask anyone to listen, comment or buy my releases?
    belive me, i dont need any charts and forums to sell my records/mp3s, each release has 500 vinyl sales and 200-300 mp3s in around 5-6 months, so..beatport asked me to do charts..
    chart has 7 of my own trax & remixes, 1 from Reaky, 1 from Peppelino and 1 remix from Dave the Drummer and thats cos i play in my sets 90% of my own trax, its just a few artists that have style that i play, i know what im doing and where im going so..sorry that i didnt include one of your trax..

    from now on, i will never again put any posts here so you can relax and be happy!

    over & out,

    mark

    i wouldnt sweat it mark. most of us know exactly what it takes to sell records these days - promotion promotion promotion.

    hell ive had my own charts on trackitdown with at least 5 of my trax in them.

    just keep doin what you want. its not really important what anyone else thinks anyway.

    I dunno. Charting five or seven of your own tracks\releases in a top ten is a bit disingenous. If makes a complete mockery of the concept of 'charts'. Do people really think their music is that great that is better than every other release out there at the moment? And If you are having no difficulty selling 500 vinyls & 300 tracks online then why not give someone else a break in your charts? Ever felt good when someone else charted your music? Dont feel the need to spread the love?

    Nothing wrong with a couple of your own releases thrown in the middle sure. But it should be about the music not just shifting units. If the tunes are good enough they'll sell.

    Just my 2cents.
