DJs and Streaming music via Beatport LINK discussion

303abuser

so am i wrong thinking this is just another move to ensure the streaming platforms increase profits by further cutting revenue streams for producers?

zackster

303abuser not at all mate. Just like home ownership isn’t for everyone, neither is tune ownership. This guarantees every dj access to tech house that wants it. Tears in my eyes just thinking about it.

303abuser This is a very good point and worthy of discussion.

I will add this point to be discussed on the stream.

303abuser

zackster ah yes, my mistake haha. there’s got to be a better solution to this problem. bandcamp is only half way there, but a good start i guess.

Producers should take things into their own hands and go DTC baby.

303abuser the Biden administration is going to prioritize Beatport LINK vouchers for all citizens living at or below 60% of their area’s median income to ensure that access to tunes like All Night is available to everyone. America is back!

Unfortunately the Bandcamp UI makes it barely useable. Spent another hour clunking around last night, was horrendous. Until it improves I won’t be going back again.

zackster now there’s a democratic policy we can all get behind.

303abuser

Mad_Cyril yeah that’s my point. from an artist’s perspective, it’s the best way to panhandle online and keep more of what people are willing to pay. from a user perspective, it needs to be better, especially as a streaming platform (although that’s probably not their goal).

Agreed. It’s fine if you know exactly what you’re looking for, but for browsing/exploring it’s utterly useless.

Amps

Mad_Cyril Agreed, all feels a bit early 2000s somehow. Even when you get the page / artist / track you want, it’s not clear what you are getting or meant to be clicking on. Their designers have no concept of hierarchy or pertinence when it comes to layout.

There’s definitely a gap in the market. For me need something that caters for all 4 of the following;

Easy to browse
Easy to organise shopping (build lists etc..)
Decent recommendations (a tricky one!)
Doesn’t rape the people who make the music.

303abuser

Mad_Cyril that would be ideal, i’m just not sure anyone has the motivation to create it.

Amps

Mad_Cyril Are you not just describing Beatport? Feels like the most easy to use of them all imo, and so far it’s all been purchases from me, not rental / stream etc.

zackster Mauro Picotto’s UK chart climbing hit “All Night”? I

I did a quick search on youtube to see what you were on about - how were you even aware to begin with that such a monstrosity existed?!

Oh Mauro, how the mighty have fallen!!

zackster

zackster is that the shame lizard?

zackster

hugopal jon made the mistake of reminding me that I used to be into MP, which lead to a night of me getting 3 sheets and playing his old records, which lead to me following on all forms of social media, which lead to All Night entering my IG timeline, which lead to it becoming part of my riffs package. Very organic.

Like the pose and white headphones that Mauro is rocking in that shot.

Its the best. Been trying to find that screen shot as a pic; I’d love to use it as an avatar, but so far no luck.
