You say that the label is going to strengthen the scene; I think it will have the opposite effect. If more people start taking the position of giving away there music for free it could have a disastrous effect on artists trying to scrape a living from what little money is left in this industry.

I think giving away 1 or 2 releases could be an effective marketing idea, but it's the idea of a 'free' label that i'm not so keen on.

I don't think techno has ever been about making lots of money but it does need money to survive.

don't think i'm being funny by what i've written, it's just my view on the matter. doesn't mean its right.
At the moment we want to get the Locked label to be listened to by as many people as possible. The best way to do that is to make it free to download from our site. We have also given out free cds of this first release at our night.

It's a similar reason to why we've been doing the free partys at Locked over the last 6 months.

In the future we would like to be in a place to sell the releases via digital downloads and vinyl but we're not there at the moment...
