Hey Neon Critter! I remember listening to some of your tracks a while back and liking them - glad to see you're still making tunes - and getting better from the sound of it. This is super groovy and rhythmic - I'm always a fan of tunes that aren't standard 'four-to-the-floor' and this reminds me of some tunes from the label Hessle Audio - very techno and dub influenced, but with an idiosyncratic tone. Big fan!
OOOooooooO! God yeah. Haven't actually seen the show but I've heard the theme song and it's already a bonafide banger. And as a big fan of synthwave I'm looking forward to giving this a crack. Time to crack out the CS80, Juno 6 and Jupiter 8 emulations!
These are all great points; thanks all. I agree that it may not be the most direct route to stardom, but for me, it's just a good way for me and a few friends to get our music out there - I know some friends of friends who run big spotify playlists, so once they're on there, we could potentially get our music in these big playlists - exposure to much bigger pool of people. That's just my take.
So, from your recommendation Distrokid sounds like a good shout. I'll do some snooping and give some feedback on what I find. AWAL pretty much does this now too. And I always aim to use copyright free samples myself so shouldn't run into too many problems.
Hi All
I was wondering if anyone has previous experience on releasing your own music via your own record label?
I've heard of some websites where you can submit your music, like AWAL, and they'll send it off to Spotify etc - if anyone has had experience with these, was it any good?
I'd like to get some of my music on Spotify, Apple Music, etc 
This isn't the most technical tip but I find that if I mix my vocals slightly quieter than seems normal, when I come back to it next time, they sit great - something to do with ear fatigue and balance across a track. If that works do let me know!
I'd definitely be interested to hear Seppa's take... hehe.
Thanks for teaching us the word GESAMTKUNSTWERK - I love it already. I'm a big fan of total art - designing the artwork, video, making the music, promoting it etc. Keep working hard!
And yes, please do share some bits when you can - when you finally do, you will probably realise that you were worrying about nothing. I often find producers realise they've been holding back from sharing good music for years just due to worrying about what others will think - it's never worth it!
Phwoar, this really is a topic I've never really touched on. Quite alien to me but super useful from the sounds of it. I'm sure this will solve my bass mixing nightmare that has been going on for about 10 years now!
Hey Deltadio
I hear you - Producing can be daunting, but I guess that's what beginner's courses are for :D. You may get to a point where spending 45 mins tweaking a kick is something you enjoy - only time will tell.
Yes, if you do create a doc detailing your thoughts on courses, be sure to share it with the rest of us, sounds very useful.
And yes, isn't there an old adage that success is 5% talent and 95% hard work? - plus you should really be doing it for fun, not worrying about what others think is good/bad!
I'm sure the world and the environment will hold out just long enough for all of us to achieve our niche music production goals... hopefully!
You should get involved in the Community competitions, not sure I saw you enter the last one, the Xmassignment (although I may be wrong) - good way to measure your skills against older iterations of yourself in my experience!
I just looked up Moose - that is very, very sad. Crazy how many rappers die in their 20s. Gonna check him out this afternoon, thanks for the rec.. Maybe oen of us will one day reach 1 billion streams
