where did anyone get the idea that club djs are going to give any more exposure to a record/label than radio djs even if they do play your stuff. Unless you are actually standing in front of the booth, which all djs love, how does anyone know what is being played? Some djs do make charts, but these are generally only seen by other djs who already know about the record. IMO the whole white label/promo thing just becomes another layer of one-upsmanship in the already over-ego'd world of club djs. I always find the promos for sale in the shops anyway so why not just forget the whole thing? I'm with those who say just release the stuff to the public en masse and cut the ltd edition hard to find games. -- Mark Bowen mb@gettins.bche.uic.edu
