Regardless of money I`m sure you want people to buy the records, if it was just for the love then why not just give it all away.

I`m not even slightly saying that money should be a motivator for releasing, however, all this altruistic stuff we get on here can be a little turgid.

We put out records because we want people to hear it and play it.
Not for some higher cayse of a messiaanic "gift" to the fans.

Otherwise, we would give it all away.
i suppose i wanted to release so i could play my trax out at first - just like any other dj would. it was a natural progression. i respected artists and labels hugely, and wanted to do that shit! but nothing could prepare you for that first vinyl that came in the post with our names on. you know, i still get such a massive buzz from getting the vinyl back, touching it, playing it and thinking 'shit man, i did that'. that was enough for me, i didn't need paying for it. also listening to the difference in cut from the original, how it was mastered and how to improve your sound. plus when someone else comes up and says 'wow mark and chrissi i got your release on blah blah and it rocks!' - what an incredible high that is - that someone else digs your sound. you don't quite get that intense satisfaction from making a piece of music on CD as you do on vinyl. sure it's still massive, but until the CD becomes a standard format in the techno/dj world, it just wont be the same....

onto the record/cd debate again. anyone? hehe :briggin:
