This may not be the advice that you're looking for but here goes:
I don't *want* any promos!
*SOMETIMES* companies use promos to subtly coerce djs into charting
material that would otherwise languish in the trash heap in which it
belongs. And on the flipside, some djs only play what is sent to them,
which leaves the tiny labels who can't afford to promo their stuff
out in the cold.
The bottom line for me is, if it ain't worth buying, it ain't worth
playing.
Although any and all comments on this thought5 are welcome,
please don't take offense.
I really believe that a promo-less dj world would lead to
better music getting out in the free air.
