Still struggling to see the point in selling tracks online to be honest, so here's a few of my latest absolutely free of charge :)
Don't forget I am always available for engineering, additional production and collaboration, charged at 40 per track flat rate :) |

You legend. I'm all over this. Thank you very much indeed. |

Thanks otd! |

Must admit, I dont think you should be giving all your stuff away for free like this as your a much more talented guy than the majority of people who are selling their music! But Im not one to look a gift horse in the mouth so I will say thank you :)
Best Kept Secrets and Still Here are amazing!
Spoke about it all before and no doubt we will again but you should definitely be sending your stuff to Med School and Hospital and CLSM!
We are hoping to do a bit in the way of CD releases over the coming year and want to push the breakbeat sound alot more, so its always worth submitting to us for CD inclusion, especially as our core artist is making breaks 50% of his time :) |

Don't listen to him mate. Just keep giving your stuff away for free, fine by me ;-)
In seriousness, your tracks are extremely classy and I would definitely buy them. |

I was speaking to you on FB, Strife, and I mentioned that you should be sending these to D&B labels. Your stuff is far better than most drum and bass Ive heard tbh. 'Enough' is such a fantastic track its come to represent an entire part of my life - joining Colchester Institute and the first year of that. Your track was one of the few great things in a time of my life that wasnt very happy. |

A-men to that, Enough is a genuinely exceptional track. |

Thirded! Enough is just an exceptional piece of music from start to end. Soul On Fire is also epic!

On the DL, followed. |

You've got to be kidding me! For FREE!? CRAZY! Are you sure you're sober??
Thanks dude!! I would gladly have paid for these! |

There will always be new music from me guys. I'm just tired of people having nothing of mine to play or listen to, and whilst it's nice to have a bit of cash from each track, I'm much happier to use my music to introduce people to my work...just hope you all enjoy it :)
The world of music works in mysterious ways, and I'm not interested in putting stuff out on digital labels and getting no sort of gratification from it - Entity told me about going to a rave in canada and the first tune he heard as he walked in was Soul On Fire - shit like that is just unreal.
I regularly send out to DnB labels, not had much luck. I'm all about promotion at the moment and the replies have been awesome. :) |

A true gent :)
Keep trying with the dnb labels, you will get noticed soon ;)
But yeah, thats a good point, at least now people have your stuff to play. I played 'You Sure Do' on radio tonight, covering for someone and people were asking for the DL link :)
Olly - yeahhh i love that track!

Firstly I think its unreal that you've given these away for free so thank you very much indeed.

I think the music scene is in a funny place at the moment and I think sites with this kind of idea are great. Its like the 'Humble Indie Bundle' story (google it). If people like what they hear they will pay. Some people wont, but they probably would have pirated it if it wasn't free anyway.
People who do pay though might be more generous since you've given the tracks away for free in the first place. I don't mean to sound like a cheap skate but I think its definitely a topic worth debating and you could look at it from a lot of different angles. I think this approach might cause a move away form record labels which, overall, I think would be a good thing. |

Yes! That was at Emotion 5 in Ottawa - place was heaving as well!
Strifey is definitely one to keep an eye on. When he sent over a work-in-progress clip of 'Enough', I actually went cold haha! It was immediately my intro track for Crush 4 (after lots of swearing at him to get it finished asap!). Even his older stuff, like 'Heartfelt', 'Just in time to catch the sunrise' and also 'Skipping stones' has so much passion in the writing.... amazing.

Putting that as an intro tune was definately a good idea. Made it easier to find when I wanted to hear it! Which was very frequently! |
