"There's so many labels out there now, especially digital-only labels that the quality of releases each week has dropped dramatically. [...] I think it's more important than ever now to spend lots of time searching for the harder-to-find music. That's because everyone has access to the virtually the same music these days; from the bedroom DJs to the biggest names."
— Canadian house DJ and producer Luke Fair talks about music, DJing, his own Electraluxe label, basketball and more.

Could *NOT* agree more!!!
f.
Put simply, the days of spending hours searching for that special tune that no one else has, in the basement of your local record shop have gone. And that's a real shame.
It sure is a shame. I can remember spending hours and hours, mostly at Satellite Records here in NYC, browsing through hundreds of records. Now all you need is a laptop and a broadband connection..
So damn true.
Do you think all this has made it easier for the independent musician - esp. ones like myself who dont 'FIT' the mould - to find a way to market their music though ???? Still trying to answer that for myself ...
meaghan - electro loungue vox qualified musician in the closet trying to break free (for too long) ... but that doesnt mean Im worth it!!!
