“While the government and the music industry posture about illegal filesharing, smaller, smarter companies are simply out-competing it.
Stand by for the death of illegal music downloads. It is already gathering pace, being one of the fastest growing – or contracting – activities on the web. It is not happening because of the music industry’s rough justice (such as suing customers); nor because of Lord Mandelson’s variant of “three strikes and you’re out” for people caught downloading illegally – though doubtless they will claim credit.
It is happening because of an explosion of new companies offering tracks free, legally, without having to go to peer-to-peer sites and thereby avoiding the risk of getting bogus tracks or viruses. People are flocking to them simply because it is a much easier way of listening to music. None of these sites were started by the music industry, which has diverted energies, until recently, into propping up the ancient regime instead of preparing for the digital revolution. Virtually all of the payments systems for digital music – from iTunes to Nokia’s Comes With Music – have come from outside the music industry. What a wasted opportunity.
vlad caia: Acest set a fost conceput acasa, intr-o zi gri plina de ploaie si ceata, conditii meteorologice oarecum caracteristice si predominante in scandinavia salbatica. Cam fiecare piesa inclusa are o atmosfera caracteristica si asta mi-a placut foarte mult. Am folosit aceste caracteristici ca punct de plecare si inspiratie cautand in acelasi timp sa le combin cat mai bine intre ele si avand grija ca mixul final sa reprezinte mai mult o poveste decat o compilatie de trackuri aleatorii.

Un set continuu de 19 piese de pe 20 de releasuri David Moufang & Pete Namlook. Omu cat traieste mai gaseste cate un release Move D. Sau 20. Nici nu ma uit la opere complete, le las sa apara cate una, nu ma grabesc nicaieri. Understated beauty.
Redshape e Detroit, sunet analog, masca, istorie, valori… tot discursul. Poate ca asta e si The Dance Paradox: cum a ajuns viitorul sa sune ca trecutul.
Desi era de ajuns anuntul cu Joakim live & dj set la Chestionabil Joint 6 ca sa uitam ca e luni si sa incepem sa facem din nou planuri, s-a considerat ca e preferabil sa o facem lata si sa o anuntam si pe asta: Panorama Bar, prin reprezentantele sale cele mai de seama ajunge in Bucuresti in decembrie la MNAC. N-avem inca club care sa se ridice la standardele Berghain deci o facem la muzeu, acolo unde isi au locul ideile bune inainte sa coboare in lume.
