LUZoSCURA
Enjoying this.
Not tops off but the Luzoscura stuff isnāt it, I like it.
7 breakbeats out of 10.
The parts Iāve listened to Iāve enjoyed. I donāt listen to much Sasha these days so it sounds pretty fresh to me. Far better than the tech house stuff he peddles on LNOE. Would prefer heād stick to stuff like this.
Kumquat so at 14 quid a pop thats 8,400 gross. Gotta pay out the artists . What sort of share would they get ? 50/50 ? Pay the tax manā¦.art workā¦suppose Sasha would do the mix/mastering in house? Need @Smallman1 to give us a run down of āHow to make money in the Music Industryā
Happy to!
One what does what one can Alistair!
IndustryStandard that sounds like terrible money. 600 units sounds like a very ver low number
benson was gonna sayā¦. interests me how much these releases actually pull in nowadays. Especially the artists share vs mixer artist. Take Quattro. Iād say Diggers gets a better margin on the vinyl (?) . Suppose there are income streams from streaming that are elongatedā¦but a pittance. Looking at the numbers think Diggers and Sasha would be lucky to earn 10K net on any āmixā album nowadays .
Wonder how that compares to some of the GU Mixes back in the dayā¦. or Ren 1ā¦ā¦.
IndustryStandard How much effort do they put in for that? Doesnāt sound like an easy way to get rich. Hw much would they get paid for a club gig where they can change a few tunes from last time rather than have a whole new 2 hours of music.
benson considering the amount of legwork, sourcing publishing rights etc, surprised they bother TBH. Income stream in lockdown, and an artist folly, but on paper a no brainer gigging vs doing complications. Especially considering podcasts nowadays.
Iād say he also took a minor hit on the refracted gigs.

Itās not done to make serious moneyā¦ No one in their right mind does a mix CD to make serious money nowadays unless your Ministry of Sound and churning them out by the dozen. Itās mainly a platform to increase brand awareness and promoting new talent. Heās not done this off his own back, itās been done with !K7 Records who have been around for 30+ years and do the DJ Kickās compilations so have all the contacts/knowledge on publishing, licensing and manufacturing etc. They know how to make decent money to have survived that longā¦
600 units on a niche platform like BC is a strong day one performance. When you add in the BP/iTunes/Amazon sales which will be 5 or 6 times that on each storeā¦ All the Ltd Edition (500) hard case vinyl has sold out. The other vinyl editions are probably going to sell out. It all adds up. As I said in my iniitial post itās sold more units on BC on day one than Quattro II has since itās release 2.5 months ago.
No oneās going to be buying Jay-Zās Yeezy trabbs on the back of having a track on it, They probably got a flat fee per track. I dare say that most of them would have bitten his hand off to have a track on one of his compilations.
The old GU Mixes (the Sasha and Digweed ones anyway) sold around the 50k mark iirc. If this does half of that in the digital age itās done well.
Kumquat cheers for the explanation . Interesting fact about sales now lucky to be half of those GU releases .
