Hmmm I am pondering on this...undecided...whaddya rest of ya think ?
true dj? fuk, with the new cdj´s or stuff like serato and final scratch its just the same when it comes to spinning, as for collecting it´s vinyl all the way. i buy shitloads of mp3 and vinyl (actually ruining myself, too much goodies out there)
I am all in favour of vinyl..having over 3000 of teh bastards stashed away ..and counting. However, I recognise that perhaps if I was to start a new label, I could in fact get some sort of advantage by not using vinyl, because I may sell less, but it costs not much at all !!
THis is what I am pondering on...
I don't think that dubs should appear only on vinyl - if dubs have a place in the dnb world at all. I'd gladly pay 5 quid for quality dub.
It may be the same, Vinyl is just Classic. Always been around always will. But i have no problem with Cds, and I know what you mean when it come to buying Mp3s, I am addicted to it!
buying dubs? what do you mean? dubs i get either from the label or the artists themselves, and i never use slsk. used to but ive been getting all moral over the years, need to pay the artists for their work..
You won't have any upfront distribution costs for sure.
You may want to press vinyl to give to djs but I doubt Andy C will be dropping your dubs even if you send them to him.
I'd put the tracks on digital first to see if they sell at all. If you get requests, use the income from digital for vinyl. Unless you've got a couple of thousand quid to invest in your label and lose...
See I am not just stirring the pot peoples...
No cos if I was stirring the pot I'd have started a thread like "is Pendulum a thing of the past"mmmm, I see ... hairy muff

I really am thinking about starting a label, and I think where a new label struggles, is that it has not built up a name for itself. SO it either
Pays through teh nose for a name producer, and has to keep doing so until teh other artists are well enough established....( and you won't get their best tracks)...OR
Make a loss beacuse you don't sell enough, unless you are lucky are your stuff gets played on plate by a big name....of course COSH if ya was looking for an argument, I suggest you take it to the waffle section
