butcha pointed out something to me, and I totally agree with him...
the turnaround for UKG records, from dub to release, is total *crap*. Radio DJ's are holding onto 'exclusive dubs' for *months* (longer than they've ever done) before release... and I find myself growing completely tired of a track before it's even released! Who is this helping, other than the Radio DJ's? Do producers and labels really think they're going to move more units if they over-expose a tune for months before it comes out?
Don't get me wrong, I subscribe to the 'exclusive dub' philosophy. Hell, it's an integral part of our scene. It creates hype about a track... people listen keenly to club and radio dj's for the next big anthem... but with the scene in its current fragile state, the industry cannot afford to horde exclusive material for as long as they do. Something needs to change.
Workers revolution! (opps, didn't mean for that slip out
)
Thoughts?
