ive still missed it

What was yr point? That no body will want to pay?

Not to mention the amount of xtian djs who actually care if the music is mainstream or christian has dwindled to levels very very low.

In order for this to be successful you must have this equation:

1. find djs who spin christian tunes
2. djs who want to purchase the cd every month
3. christian labels who want to work with you & 10-12 great tracks ready to be dropped on the dancefloor.
4. remember the cd must be close to all the same genre: ie all 130 bpm(trance, house, breaks) so that the dj feels most of the tracks are useable in his sets.


Before you do anything give DAVO a call and see what type of units he sold for some of the Demulcent cds.  It is very very difficult to turn a profit or for that matter even break even.

I wish you good luck.

I use release promo currently.  For new labels its great, they have a base, but labels get no money.   I'm just about ready to foget promoing anyway...  haha

Well in some regard, EDM eliteness, is all about having music that no one has.  In some ways I understand that, and maybe it makes the value of the promo go up.  I guess they got to make some money somehow, but it would be nice if they gave a percentage to the label, since they are providing the music. 

as a record label owner and a dj myself, I need a place to get new music that is cheap and  easy.  From both the perspective of needing to make money at and needing to save money at it, it should be in everyone's interest to get the music without a hassle and without being unable to make your money back by incorporating the purchased music into your dj set (and  thus making contacts and getting gigs).

Also, if you are a producer, you should be able to pick up some remix parts and credit the remixer for a very small fee.  Most remixers charge remix fees.

Thus, for about 2.49 USD i would be willing to sell my own complete projects as a zip file - ableton live set (with samples), ableton live pack, mp3, wav, text file with all relevant info, and email support with questions about the signal flow/routing/engineering. 

I would imagine that any Artist would be willing to do the same. 

The question is, would a dj, producer, or musician be willing to pay the 2.49 USD ?

dj404, it would be as easy as DeepLife hosting the zip files, providing you the link (to either link from or download n' host), and having Deeflash paste a paypal button into the description/ link to the audio.  Any dj that has download access at CTF could buy this link.

DeepLife has a new Artist by the name of Charly - a vocalist and producer.  Her vocals are great and the music lends itself to remixing.  DeepLife could offer the acapella and the whole track for 2.49 USD.  DJ's need acapellas, so do producers.  The 2.49 includes a license to use the track and the opportunity to release your mixset or production/ remix  on DeepLife.

I also want to provide sound libraries derived from my 10+ year collection of uncommercial samples such as processed sounds from the JP-8000, Roland D2, Korg Triton Extreme, Yamaha Motif, and Roland Fantom.  These samples are copyright-free, of course.

Eventually DeepLife will offer DeepData - sound libraries and toolkit packs.  Reaktor patches, live templates, and even open-source custom hardware such as seen at www.monome.org

What do you guys think?  Would you pay 2.49 USD for a pack of "open-source music"?
