"Been rummaging thru our vast collection of mixes and re-discovered this gem from the boys over at b00mb0x. Modern and nostalgic at the same time, Briscoe's Original Polyester is a testament of a great mix - timelessness."
"Postpunk usherd in a period of experimentation that led to the birth of today's dance music. Here's our little selection of influentially influenced singles. Sensitive and loud and sometimes noisy, they evoke a vulnerabilty in music that feels like a confident and reckless step into a dark room."
"Emancipation is here - Listen to the sweet sounds of Jamaica comin' to ya LIVE from our studios in Kingston. Jah come in music and that music be Reggae."
"KL's Ray Soo breezes into town fresh from his European Tour and a sudden party appears out of fuckin' nowhere! Backed by a squad of fab DJs no less. Cherry, Tyrone Shoeslaces, FOR(E)SIGHT, LOOPINMOTION, lockngroove & DJR gear up to pump dem decks wit House, Techno, Disco, Minimal n me Mum's shoppin' basket. All of us at RIGHTCLICK are totally feelin' this and ready to get screwed sideways at the almost but now must be legendary local - HOME CLUB, Saturday 26 May 2007. Please wear ya good shoes n knickers cause its gonna be a long sweaty way home."
"Furious! Are MashUps & Bastard Pop dead? Well, according to some, but to others and the artists who cut, splice and reassemble, it's a form of mixin' that taunts those who dictate our creativity without actually breakin' their fuckin'laws. comaR & PhatBastard blazes the road to artistic freedom with a 2 part masher that gets rock HARD."
"Another rump-bumpin'! nite in Bali by none other than Stevie G and crew. The vibe, as always, is jumpin' and friendly, makin' you feel right at home lika bee inna beehive! Make the date if you're in Bali - Friday, 25 May 07 - DJ Club, Kuta, 1am to 5ish. The nite just keeps goin' and goin'...you snooze you lose."
SAMPLE THE MUSIC "Get your Bali- Bootie in the mood! Here's a sparklin' new deep soul snack moanin' to be grooved to. Listen and your ass will follow!"
"First, the CDs contain recordings of DJ mixes (the story refers to them as “mixtapes”). A DJ mix consists of someone playing records/CDs/DATs and manipulating the inputs so as to produce a continous flow of music distinct from listening to each single sequentially. The manipulation may include scratching, EQing, sampling, drum machines, digital effects, and mash-ups. Therefore, a DJ mix is distinct from merely uploading/burning a folder of mp3s and distributing it. It’s a performance.
However, the performance is built upon copyrighted material from other artists. When a DJ buys a vinyl/CD/mp3 at a record store, he/she purchases the right of personal listening. Many records will say “Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting, and copying of this record prohibited” on the label. When DJs release professional mix CDs through a record label, they obtain legal permission from the copyright holders to include their tracks in the mix. Dance clubs pay annual fees to the two major artist organizations for public performace rights to cover DJs that play at their venue. Record shops that sell unauthorized mixtapes have been prosecuted for copyright violation, so most stores don’t sell them.
The vast majority of mix DJ performances are distributed outside of these legal channels, however. They’re mp3s given away and traded on the internet. The most common are recordings of radio broadcasts. But a number of relatively big name DJs post promotional mixes on their website. These mp3s contain copyrighted content that isn’t authorized for distribution. These mp3s of radio broadcasts and promotional mixes are the way that the vast majority of electronic dance music listeners obtain their content.
You’ve probably noticed that I [sometimes] post DJ mixes online. I asked an IP lawyer about the copyright status three years ago, and he said that I had a better defense to the degree that I was (a) distributing to a small number of friends and (b) manipulating the sound so that it didn’t match its original form. A “better defense” doesn’t mean it’d be legal.
The most interesting question is whether this event represents a shift in copyright enforcement in regards to DJ mixes. Perhaps in hip-hop, where singles make the industry a lot of money, and DJs aren’t the driving force in sales. But if there were a crackdown on electronic dance music DJs, it’d put a major dent in the industry. Copyright holders gain so much from DJs promoting their content that I doubt they’d try to stop them. While copyright enforcement might gain them a few more sales of their single, it’d drastically reduce the number of people who had ever heard their tune, let alone purchased it. Of course, many producers don’t depend on dance music as their primary source of income, so their relationship to DJs is different than that of hip-hop and rap content creators."
"We never fail to get into the music and vibe of this joint - cool and creative and happenin'!"
