That, indeed, is a fair point Soel. I suppose it's a profile thang - get
the label known through various visiting artists / remixes in order to
promote the lesser known / new ones you've found. This works to some
degree in that you've at least internalised the label identity for this
reason, however, whether or not people largely retain an interest in a
label once the artist has hopped is something only the labels have a
handle on. In terms of artists releasing on numerous labels, again,
wider promotion sounds like one likely reason. Or maybe they just can't
say no to flattery.
Long live organic produce and cliff divers.
