    Default anyone interested in setting up a net label

    just an idea i had,

    we could do a release once a month of the best 10 tracks off the board.. get some nice artwork and all done.. between the lot of us we could post it on tons of forums, myspace etc.

    could get the production forumz kick started again and start getting peoples productions out and about the place.

    thoughts?

    Great idea
    pondered something like this a while ago
    but didn't really get past the pondering stage

    Think a 4 track EP a month would be excellent, with each EP representing a track from a different style

    Acid, old school, minimal, chunky - whatever.
    Bit of variety and bit of consistency at the same time.

    People releasing should all chip in and have each EP mastered as well.
    Those my thoughts those.

    i was thinking more along the lines of 8 to 12 tracks.. really try and get people involved - 4 tracks a month isnt enough to involve evryone.

    People releasing should all chip in and have each EP mastered as well.
    Those my thoughts those.
    thats a good idea.. with someone like chris mc cormack or steve db i think it works out about 25 quid each.

    was thinking about names.

    want to say where its coming from (blackout) but not mention blackout name so was thinking - "BOA: output"

    i think it kinda represents what the net label could be about.

    i could ask mark if thats ok.

    any thoughts?

    Is there enough being produced on a monthly basis to do 8-10 tracks?

    That'd be my only point.

    If you made it a smaller number of tracks, you could get a bit more competition going, and you'd could keep the quality control a bit higher. Not in terms of production quality (am sure mastering would balance out a lot of this) but just in terms of ideas. Speaking from personal experience, whilst I'm always pretty happy with my output I can recognise that some tracks are a lot better than others in simple terms of ideas.

    Not sure how many new tracks get posted up a month these days, but be good to maybe have a pool to pick from then pick the best quarter or summat.

    I definitely think everyone should be involved, but I think the netlabel might get a bit diluted if it just releases everything that goes up.

    part of the idea from my end was to try generate enough interest to get the tracks in, it doesnt always have to be 8 or 10 some omnths could be 4 or 5 - i just think strictly limiting it restricts people from it.

    cool idea rhythmtech, would certainly give some of the talent on here a showcase.

    don't suppose it really matters how many tracks are on a release, would probably start out small until interest grew.

    I'd definitely be up for doing some artwork for it, given the chance.

    who gets the deciding vote though? it would be cool if everyone had a say, but not sure how that would work.

    been making electronica almost exclusively for the past 12 months but i'd definately contribute some techno for consideration.

    might be cool later down the line if style restrictions are made on certain releases, so it would stimulate people to step out of their creative comfort zones, which can only be a good personal development tool.
