I`d like to hear all producers taking more risks with what they put on their labels. You can still have your commercial tunes, but how about really pushing yourselves musically, and making something different?

I`m gonna put my money where my mouth is, and have a new musical project on the go, that I am gonna sink my own cash into.

But how many others will start to poke their heads above the parapet?
what about truesoul steve? beyer put out that album and it got licks. i didn't love it but i bought it cause it wasn't your everyday shit doubt i even ever played it.. are their consumers like that out there? **** no. no matter what.. there is an political art economy here that cannot be ignored (in regards to producers taking the risks) and the consumers want what is not artistic; they want what boring, past their prime and lazy producers and co do. drug kick recycle. the nature of productive culture must change.

this is such an old rant laid out so many times before.. i bow with sincere respect to you to let people know that you are brave and that you are accountable for your emotions through music. bravo mate.
