Dark Music: Electro – Underground – Film

The Akai MPC 4000 joins the new blood in the crypt.

After what seems like forever and a host of fucking car bills, The studio rebuild adds some serious HEAVY weight.
Alongside the Midfield General to end all brutal electro contests, the Samson Real Time Analyzer checks the signal to make sure it’s firing on every last frequency.

Since no one will lend anyone like me any money anymore,

The rebuild is happening the hard and slow way, but the core is nearly done.
Next month maybe the Waves Y96k or an Alesis Masterlink.
The 6 months after that are the most crucial, that’s when the Prophet 8 and Andromeda will land ready to begin their Training in the Underworld Electro Gym.

This is to prepare them for when Satamile call upon them.

Yes I am now an official Satamile artist, and all of this rebuild
is to support the deal and make it the best it can be.
Given the current global financial meltdown, they’re waiting for their shot.
It’s pointless to try to release in the midst of all this, and that’s a smart move from my point of view.

Every last pound is going into all this, the largest amount ever…

It means life is no fun, I do nothing except live and work for the machines.
But the vibe I feel is getting more powerful and ominous by the day.
It will be 100% worth it and deliver the kind of devestating Tactics and Bombs that I promise.
I just don’t care about anything else anymore, I’m not built or made for any other purpose than this…

On another topic, the Internet Indie Music Promotion ‘Advisors’

I’m getting very, very sick of them, and I wanted to give you a warning about them.
Most success stories have more than just an internet element to them, no wait ALL of them.
It’s good press to say you ‘made it on the web’.
I have tried many, Bob Baker for one over many years, most don’t work. I still read Music Think Tank just to see what ‘new fad’ comes next.

Demos don’t work right? Satamile signed me from a demo.

Labels are dead do it yourself right? And get drowned amongst everyone else releasing crap that you can’t fight through.
Play live, that’s how the ‘new’ artist makes his living.
So now all the shit artists flood the venues, and there are only so many places to play.
Now the decent acts will have to accept lower rates as a result of gigs being awash with shit.

It’s all because the ‘advice’ has been for years, ‘Go Play Live’ to earn.

Does anyone go back the last few years and analyze this advice?
No, you just get the latest new ‘fad’, the rest of us are judged on results.
BE AWARE in one shape or another, music promotion bloggers make money from advice.
Just check out Robin Good of Master News Media, and he’ll reveal all the money making blogging secrets.

That’s precisely how he earns his living, giving advice, this then generates his business.

His advice is different and I appreciate that.
But even his stuff can be just too much to sift through sometimes.
The bottom line is, MOST DEALS I’VE HAD WERE FROM SENDING DEMOS.
The QUALITY of the music stands out enough, and the TARGETS I pick are pinpoint.

Labels have strong contacts that can aid far more than the web.

They can help you stand out from the crowd AND hone your craft to make it even stronger.
Wasting too much time on the web? SWITCH IT OFF, hone your craft.
It’s far more valuable a weapon, and labels see that value.

Labels are not all DEAD, so choose wisely and at your level.

The best will survive and the worst will fade.
This is a good thing, and the best way to rise above the indie music web promotion chatter.
No one has time any more to wade through crap for you.
So turn their head with the most magical sounds you can muster, and build those away from the quicksand…..
