LabRat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Got this email a few weeks ago but didn't bother looking into it. Now that I have I think I'll be remixing a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 beatport certainly know how to stay ahead of the game.explain please...once upon a time every one was a dj, now every one is a producer. thus beatport staying ahead of the game. Please note i am aware of loopmasters and such sites but beatport is one of the first music digital download sites that i know of to really start to push production side of things.

russell Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ah right, I see where your coming from now. Didn't click on that you meant the fact it is music download site that's pushing production. To be fair to them they have been doing it for a few years now. Always had to pay for the privilege of entering their competitions before now though.

russell Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 once upon a time every one was a dj, now every one is a producer.i was just thinking this the other dayIt's a pretty natural transition from DJ'ing to production. If you playe enough peoples tunes you should know what works and what doesn't and want to make your own tracks to play out. Obviously it's not quite as easy as it sounds though.....

Tomy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 . To be fair to them they have been doing it for a few years now. Always had to pay for the privilege of entering their competitions before now though.very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 i think its also vice versa these daysi.e. a lot of producers these days go on to become dj's!hence the misconception a lot of times that producers who become dj's should be playing their songs out live.

russell Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 i.e. a lot of producers these days go on to become dj's!totally.... however a lot of these guys are pretty shit DJ's to start with. They make shit hot tunes that get them noticed and in turn gets them gigs DJ'ing. I remember warming up for James Holden a good few years back and he was pretty mince at DJ'ing but his productions were all over the place and his label was killing it too. It's defo easier to 'make it' if you can get yourself known for productions. Not many DJ's make it big anymore from purely DJ'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomy Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 james holden = god. his album the idiots are winning is a massive inspiration of mine.back on topic. poeple used to be able to get huge just from dj-ng not some much anymore. its all about what your writing. But you still have to put on a good show. so makes it hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
