whats the prob. indeed!!
i prefer to see these events like new oportunities
like a renovation that always occurs in life
if phont or drumcode said we r going to start selling records to the shops directly and eliminate the intermediary(distributor)
i think those labels will probably survive they have lots of buyers.
in the end its harder for whos starting but that should only encourage people to work harder make better tracks and in that way make techno move forward.if its harder that only means the best will stay alive .
(in most of the cases)
and thats fine ...
