bingo
no modesty left in techno these days
ah give the lad a break..
you gotta do whatever it takes to sell records/downloads these days.
look at APaul - that guys whores his naked lunch label.. no one complains (although it is quite sublime!!!)
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.
stuff by the advent, submerge 101, apaul himself.
just good solid techno
i think i may have some incidently, i've got a few apaul records here that a mate sent over in a package last year, never even looked at them for some reason.
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
Good lad is Apaul, he charted 2 of our releases in Feb bless him and i had the chance to speak to him on the phone, seemed like anice fella.Quote:

chill out girls were just ribbing him, if you cant at least see the funny side to it then you need a sense of humour transplant
i do enjoy selling records myself Chris, luckily i dont need to chart ten of my own to do so hehe
Go on Mark Ankh!
Love the tracks mate.
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

just keep doin what you want. its not really important what anyone else thinks anyway.
Ah cmon, dont be so mardy mark, take it in the spirit mate. i know where your coming from i honestly do! but ya gotta admit that charting your own music isnt exactly earth shattering ;)Quote:

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.
aye...:wink:Quote:

If everybody charted their own music all of the time. Then nobody would ever chart yours. Just something to bear in mind. :)Quote:

and, in fairness, mark does play a perticular style thats nearly unique to him.. ok he does play drummer stuff and other stuff. but like he said, 90% of his sets are his own tracks.. so why wouldnt he chart them?
top 10s arent a great big cock rubbing reach around to give props.. they're what you're listening to/playing at the time.
what if, for instance, my favourite 10 tracks at the moment were on ..say mastertraxx.. if i charted 10 mastertraxx releases and nothing else would my chart then be invalid?
its all about personal taste really
blah blah blah blah and so on till my fingers are too sore to type :hissyfit:
