Quote from darrell;22115Thats pretty much the same as the general opinion on the new zero one track
although every ones got to much respect to say it.
Lol Paul has told me comments don't bother him
You stick with playing that minimal drum track then, and I will stick with playing what the fans like best.
Fine with me
Stones Throw have been around years and yes a credible label, but this is a poor cash in, and as such general opinion is the same.
Send your Tracks to PAUL HARDCASTLES NEW COMPILATION SERIES
"ZERO ONE" - The compilation has signed Major Distribution
If you would like to be considered:
http://www.hardcastlerecords.com
and Indeed put them out yourself and have complete control, If anyone want's a list of Vinyl Pressing plants let me know..
Several Major Distributors in the UK are now offering sub Licence P&D deals.
Best do it that way , at least you will get paid, by the Major Distributors, and Also Vinyl is collectible over the years.
But start small press up a few, and mail them out to all the Magazines, Blogs, and The Radio Shows and Go from there.
I agree with everyone, This is real PANTS... Stones Throw should stick to The Downtempo Psychedelic Rock, Electro aint working for them...
Maybe they Just paid EL a few quid to use his name, LOL
Why on earth is it in "The Streetsounds Chart"... Perhaps it has been licensed LOL
Quote from magicsounds;21967Hello this track is from a Farley Jackmaster Funk mix.
If any one knows I will be much grateful. Thanks
I signed the Track to Jack Trax
Armando RIP
Classic pre acid artist, that had a good rep in Chicago
Never got his just rewards
The first track was a bit muddled and was in the mix...
This farley mix must be from 87 88 when i signed it..
Good Memories
Quote from thehycon;14626...as myspace is a place full of people who only want to get heard its even contraproductive id say. Any shit producer gets motivated to continue or have you ever read comments like "your tunes suck" ?
better start local in the real world before. play gigs if you wanna get heard. connect with other people...and wear only electro tshirts so people recognize you as electro head
Myspace is very limiting agreed , you will never get heard this way.... well nowadays only by other producers...
But you need to set your sights about getting your stuff out to labels and promoters... Never pay to have your stuff put on albums ever... there are stories circulating of a label charging for stuff to be released.. unbelievable... and almost fraud.
Quote from kalson;1698forums i guess
ELECTRO NATION IS ABOUT TO RELAUCH WITH TWO NEW SHOWS AND A PROPER ARTISTS SPONSORED CHART
ALSO WE ARE Helping on A&Ring For The Biggest Compilation series to Hit ELECTRO FULL STOP!
"ZERO ONE" so let us have your tracks to play , submit to the chart and send to Paul Hardcastle...
Buy me a pint if you get included.!!!!
A lot of people don't get credited on Sugarhill, thats the way it was, Shady people running a shady operation, ulttimately it is why it failed, and similar electro labels all fail.
You can only fuck someone over once!!!! It still goes on in the scene today... I wonder how many current ELECTRO ARTISTS are getting royalties from current Album releases, I bet i can count them on one finger.
Many artists have admitted to me they won't deal with certain labels and companies for fear of being ripped off and even more simply that they will not return any royalties for the small amount of sales there really are. which is a shame.
Duke Booty, didnt get the credit, But hell, Clayton Savage didnt get paid or any credit and he wrote most of the Work PArty Album for Melle Mel and FF after the split with GMF, he has told me the label was well fucked up.
Nothing changes with Electro , That is why many artists got sick of getting ripped of in the late 80's and went over to House or Bass Freestyle music where money could be made from publishing.
Many young kids these days don't even understand what label copy / Royalties are, let alone a publishing deal, and that is why they will continue to get ripped of, and get fed up.
One word of Warning, Never ever pay a label or publishing company upfront for Inclusion on a release or even Advice. If they want to sign you, they will pay you upfront, with a proper Advance and contract of Schedule of royalties.

I DJ'ed with Ian and Colin Faver many times, and knew Ian via my Friends Mark Moore and Eddie Richards.
Ian will be much missed on the scene, A clever DJ and producer, and equally very shy and unassuming, with not a bad word about anyone ever.
You could learn a lot by looking at Ian's career...
He leaves us a legacy of groundbreaking music, especially on BAAD Records and Vinyl Solution (small label from the rave scene run from above the record shop in Ladbroke Grove UK)
Electro fact fans may like to know that Maurice Watson (who mixed some oif the Electro Albums) was A&R manager at Vinyl Solution, back then.
IAN LOVEDAY - Rest in Peace, wherever you are.
Quote from Tele;19413oh man i'm not gonna be in london
must be cool to see them in detroit!
Hopefully see you Saturday Erika at your Gramophone gig
looking forward to it..
Tim - Deckgeneral
Might see you there.. im going too...
Quote from evolvah;19253The more shows playing Electro music the better.
I couldn't agree more, Martin.
RPM - hope your show goes from strength to strength! 
Prophet 5 was used by a lot of the early electro guys, But also the Jupiter 8 was used, and the Synclavier and Fairlight samplers.
Quote from Shrill;16875try reading the press releases or read their home page. that's probably why you didn't get an answer. they probably don't repsond to people who don't read.
Well said, Or they could listen to any Radio Show, and hear the tracks...
have a good time guys, I will be thinking of you all in the sun... while were stuck in Blighty laying down the Beats on the radio

someone Bring em over.... after Volume 1 is out
Quote from gordy;15774This is fantastic news for all of us. We've talked with EE for many years now about having one chatroom between the two sites. Thank you Matt for making it happen!!
We at GFR will support any show or station that plays the music we all love and wishes to use the chatroom, so please do use it.
See you in there
Wicked News for the Scene... and all the Artists, Labels, DJ's and Producers, Past and Present and indeed Future... And superb that it has been set up before the Onslaught of all new electro fans 
I can see them coming...
It will also help bring all the Radio Shows closer together, after all different people listen at Different times, and some people listen to all of the output, when do they sleep?? 
maybe never..
But yes Thanks Gordy, Matt, Martin, and Everyone for coming together..
Quote from elektroakust.;15748Display Moreits all cool now.
(the heated temperaments basicly came from a misunderstanding behind the scenes.)
we are joining forces with GFR with the chat now!
originally this whole chat and GFR partnership thing was planned for a later time
when all of the EE things we are still working on would be finished.
but since the demand for a chat was so big now... and work on EE delays a bit...
we've decided to bring the GFR / EE chat on now already!
so when you logg in tomorrow you'll see a different chat than last week.
Awesome, The scene needs one Integral Chat Base, Whatever Label, Artist, Radio Station, Forum, We are all one Scene, which as Morph rightly points out has remained strong because of the great unity.. whatever show is on or Event is on, the chat room should welcome new fans, If fans see arguments going down among artists, what will they think of our Scene?
After all, Electro is and always has been about technology old and new to create that clever mix of nu and old all rolled into the unique sounds we love...
If Afrika Bambaataa had not borrowed from Kraftwerk, and used a borrowed jupiter 8 we would not have quite the Electro scene we have, Let alone all the other dance music that came from electro...
Enough Shit... Streetsounds NU ELECTRO 1 is about to Drop, We all need to focus and get behind that...
