now......

as an artist releasing stuff on 'non christian' labels, i often wonder if its even worth my time to send stuff to 'christian' labels as they have no market and well lets be blunt generally christians don't get dance music anyways!

quotes like this come to mind........
"What I was trying to explain was that The Holy Spirit warned me that this Dance Music seemed nice but was a SATANIC influence."

my honest thoughts are i can do a whole lot more with my music if its on 'non christian' labels but feel like i should at least make an effort with the churchies and of late i have been getting some reaction with remix requests coming in. So some stuff is starting to come through, but i had to get the releases on the other labels first!

don't get me wrong when i started Djin i wanted to play all christian music but quickly realized that its mostly cheese!

so to cut my rant down, do people agree with my thoughts or think Im a bit of a diddle 

Tim, (great to have you here BTW)

I'd say don't worry about a Christian label. As long as you make it known that you are a believer (and spend time in some prayerful council), Christians will find you. I honestly believe that God will guide his children to find the music they like, especially if that music is made by another believer. Just look at all the Christians in the mainstream that we at Tastyfresh are aware of. It's no coincidence. It's His hand guiding us.

There used to be a time when Christians would only listen to something on Word, Sparrow, Essential, etc. There are still some, but for the most part, today's Christian is not being spoon fed from a Christian record label.

Do what you do, man. Seek God, give Him the glory, and He will bless the work of your hands. That's scripture.

There's a lengthy discussion here about this subject:

Read Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce?
i disclaimed being infected by my thoughts and clear my mind more....
That type of thinking can be a trap to enjoyment of life a lot of times.

Although it is DEFINITELY good to know where your barriers are.
...Thats my take.

ya i doubt we will see that

I agree with ya 404!

^ dead serious: that was the theme song at youth camp one year. Ask doug. I told him about it last night.

I've had various versions of my 'DawnLight' release played out in loads of clubs and radio.  Had a great response mostly in the secular world but also a growing amount of Christians liking what I do also.  The cool thing about Deeplife is the fact that it releases through all the online stores as opposed to Christian bookshops enabling me to do my own promotion.   Whatever label you are on isn't always the point, it's all about promotion.  You have to put the work into promoting your tracks.
