yeah I think that kind of shit is sorta archaic behavior back from the ages that djs had to maintain a certain level of mystique in order for people to think that they were something more than just some person mixing two records together.Which unless they are throwing some kind of something interesting in there thats all they are doing, playing other peoples music. Which im not knocking I mean someones got to do it, and it takes some skills to do, but it doesnt elevate djs to demigod rockstar status in my opinion. That kind of thing still goes on some places, but good thing san francisco is over that. It seems like the better the music is the more people are into sharing whatever it is and it not bieng shrouded in a layer of secrecy.Also a lot of vinyl at one point and still is pressed as white labels, for whatever reason I dont know, maybe to keep a sort of anonymity or whatever. I dont know it seems like if you have to be all secretive about the tracks you spin and are afraid someone else will snap them up its just stupid cause there is an infinite supply of good music out there these days and it would suck to release something and then have just a few elitist djs buy it." yeah i pressed 1000 copies of that but no one knew about it, just a few top-notch djs... but hey they god paid mad cash to play my music on thier turntables, yeah I got about 5 dollars , but its cool cause I only spent 2000 dollars on gear so you know ill have it paid off by the time im 60..." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
