Keeping track names secret?

**Hakka.** · 03-12-2003, 07:35 PM

Everyone likes to play tunes before anyone else does, its a great feeling but its not as good a feeling as playing a damn well good set overall.

Point is, that surely if I played a brand spanking new-pre-released track at a night and it went down brilliantly, and someone asked what its called - the person who asked for its name would have to wait until its released before being able to gain a copy? Surely? So your still going to have the exact amount of time to play it out as when you kept it secret?

So basically your not really going to loose anything by telling the name? Are you?

I still think that if you play someone elses work that you have NO RIGHT what so ever to not tell people what its called. The music is NOT your property to do that with.

I agree with Mark that one DJ doesn't make or break track, however if everyone was doing this (and you agree yourself you don't do it) then surely it would have an effect on its initial demand and exposure?

Again, I don't want any hard feelings with anyone over this... but I just don't think people have the right to do that unless its there own tunes.

Thing is I can accept that people will do this and it will not effect me in the slightest. It does make me cringe though at the thought that there are DJ's out there somewhere (obviously not suggesting anyone here is) who are blagging promo's and then abusing them for personal gain. A producers pre-release nightmare.

Also Corbz, to be fair you do ask people like Abyss to name the tracks on his CD on the forum... so isn't that slightly hypocritical in this instance?

Mean that with the upmost respect mate, not having a go just making a point.

Would you still like it if Abyss said "no way" when you asked him for a name of a tune?

What if the DJ was to give out the name of the producer & track name but not the record label. The person asking would still have to search abit for the tune & the producer would still get the credit. Everybody would be happy?

this isnt goin to add anything to the debate like.

**Hakka.** · 03-12-2003, 08:38 PM

the name and who its by is all people are asking for!

its a good point though mate, if some people want to keep the track quiet so people have to search for it giving them the track name and artist is the least they can do, that way they still have to put a little effort into finding it but saying that i can't imagine not telling someone myself if they asked me without feeling a little silly saying "no, sorry cant tell you" unless it was my own music of course but i would like people to know what it is

perhaps a bit of friendly silence between dj's now and then isnt out of place and will make them work harder to keep there sets fresh but i think if you pay to goto events to listen to music you are at the same time paying the dj there wages so perhaps deserve to know what music it is your listening too?

i still dont have a full opinion on which side im on though haha, i can see points on both really but i just mix at home and dont play out so i perhaps dont know the full story so to speak.

just my thoughts at this moment anyway

infact yeah, are we talking about dj's giving out the information to club goers or other dj's?

perhaps it doesnt matter too much if its either or both but i can sort of understand it a little more if its between dj's

that would be wicked and helpful - even just the tune title would do me fine as i could search for it!

why hasn't Corbzy been booted out of the forum yet? :lol:

**Carl** · 05-12-2003, 01:47 PM

after reading your thoughts on this subject, and then looking at the old thread hakka put a link up to, im not impressed corbz :dontevengothere:

**Hakka.** · 05-12-2003, 02:49 PM

Corbz is sound guy I just happen to disagree with him on this occasion.

Where has he gone through? I thought he'd at least reply to my point! ;)

**Louk** · 05-12-2003, 03:16 PM

agree corbz youve shown a bit of hypocracy yet again (i remember you asking for a tg's tune then a few months later saying how when you first heard it you thought it was the worst hting on earth and voorheez pointed you wrong) :)

nothing against you though you're a good guy so only having a laugh
