Digital-Tunes goes on a diet and lets people talk shit will Jun. 29

(For those of you politically correct types who don't like a bit of a joke and a giggle, substitute 'crap' below for "beautiful music that doesn't sell"! And don't worry, everything is just great with us, we're just focusing on what we're good at!)

Unlike skanky models, who can both shed pounds and induce reams of crap to stream out of their mouths with just a bit of white powder snorted up the nose, here at Digital-Tunes losing weight and getting people to talk about us involves just a teeny bit more effort.

Our dieting method is pretty extreme: we've decided to surgically remove all the bollocks that either doesn't sell or we don't like. Case in point: Trance. Me and Glenn decided about a year ago to dabble our toes into Trance. Now this wasnt because we fell into a bottomless vat of MDMA which fried our brain into actually liking this crap, we just figured that since our home territory was Finland, home to thousands of trance-heads, we might as well give it a shot. And basically it didn't work out, not surprising really when our big thing is Dubstep and D&B. So now we are dropping Trance and a load of other crap that has been stinking the shelves out, in order to make us as lean and mean as an anorexic teenage crack whore. We are going to focus on what we are good at, proper underground electronic music, music that we know and love even better than our own girlfriends.

And when it comes to talking shit, what better channel for blathering bullshit than Twitter. We decided to make it so easy to tweet about stuff on Digital-Tunes that even your dieing grandma could give it a go. Added to all sections are new Twitter buttons, which take you to Twitter with a handy pre-filled status update. So if you are on a release page and you fancy telling your nerd friends about this dirty new track you found, just click the twitter link and - bobs yer uncle - instant tweet spam! We also re-vamped the FaceFuck "share" button thingy. Now when you share releases from Digital-Tunes on Facebook you'll get a clip for the first tune from the release show up in the feed, so your mates can actually listen to the shit, which probably makes sense when we are trying to flog them some tunes!

    Nice... I just hope this means you all are reconsidering the 10% decrease in royalties..

    ....I can understand, but first take 10% more from the royalities and then delete releases!? This i cannot understand. normally reversed.

    Not sure the shit talking about genres was necessary needed. Seemed a but "unprofessional" , which is very common place within the digital music realm (artist and labels alike) As the other 2 comments have stated, with the reduction of genres, will there be a resolve to give back that savings from this deletion. Thanks for the service thus far, as I can't complain as it has been a great partnership.

    I do confirm the post by BlackRegion. Talking such way for genres, seems a bit rude to those that make trance, downtempo or other type of music. I think there was a lot more friendly way to expose this, but anyway rules are rules. I hope this will bring you the relieve that you are looking for.

    I almost crapped my pants from laughing! Please write some descriptions of tunes in that style. I need a daily fix. Seriously, fuck Trance!

    fair enough i agree with the need to reduce royalties.. still beats Juno by 10% and matches BeatsDigital and even deleting unprofitable genres, but the trash talking bout the deleted genres is a bit on the un-professional side

    Cut that hair boy and tuck in your shirt! There is a new sheriff in town... Hey if it don't sell... can it, but maybe you should focus on content and not so much genre. I mean God knows he made trance to kill the rave scene... yes yes but I heard some shitty ass D&B and Dubstep out there too man! So maybe focus on filtering out unprofitable labels who don't meet a certain quota of sales a month a year or a quarter? It doesn't have to be a lot. But just enough to assure an even cash flow for the artist, label and you the distributor... Whatever you do, your gonna need to get down and WORK to keep this baby afloat! WORK!!! DAMN IT!!! WORK !!!

    What a load of unprofessional psycho-babble clap-trap. Stop trying to be cool and edgy by using offensive language because it just doesnt cut it!
