I know the names kinda funny given the context lol. Funny part is I didn't even notice until I was posting the promo here 🀣

ASCENT is an awesome guy and we're anticipating him developing quite the name in hard dance (and bass music) over the next few years though, def don't sleep on this one.

And our article is about the economics of running an event venue with a limited capacity... stop trying to snipe traffic from other people's brands. Grow your own following through posting better content.

If we were to worry about those things, we'd need to also deactivate our Bluesky, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Music, etc. : it's unrealistic as a self funded edm crew. We generate no money for substack, and it is a side-note in our portfolio, so we use the free tool that meets our business needs.

We have to charge something, in this case it's just following our label and sound designers on the streaming and social platform of your choice!

(It DOES clearly state what you are allowing in each step BTW, photo attached.)

Def... EDM takes this scam to the next level thoβ€”there are so many producers that labels can profit off microtransactions alone. In the past, indie acts needed some* traction. Now? 100 moms buying their kid’s track is enough. Labels don’t need more than a sale or two n a steady flow of new artists.

The #bassmusic industry’s business model is stealing from #producers

Most labels don’t make money from hits, they profit from fails. They sign mid-tier #musicproducers, upcharge them for mastering n branding, and then duck payouts claiming they havent β€œrecouped”.

Be careful who you work with. #edm
