Hi. I'm new here. By way of an introduction, here's a mix I made to celebrate 10 years of DJing. It's pretty random...

[sam i am]

check your PMs

[David Bass]

are track lists confid ential now?

[nic]

top secrets david

[sam i am]

I used to do monthly mixes and post tracklists, then I got contacted by a label. This is the only mix I've made public since

if you want a tracklist, I'll PM it to you. It's not a secret, I'm just covering my own arse

[L-J]

Is that because you are putting tunes on there you shouldn't have?

[nic]

what are they going to do to you though lol?
i dont see any 'illegal' tunes in there?

[sam i am]

technically it's illegal to upload anything that you don't own the copyright for or have permission to distribute

I wasn't going to all the labels to ask if it was OK to put their tunes on there

one of the label heads contacted me to give me an informal "cease and desist"

yes, most labels don't give a shit, but I don't trust major labels. Interesting article about it at the link below (bit old I know)

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/30/techn ... riety.html

Someone who is openly swapping CD's might get a cease-and-desist letter that could be followed by ''more aggressive deterrence'' if the activity does not stop, he said. ''If there isn't any fear of repercussions, it's just going to continue to expand,'' he said, ''while we try to give consumers legitimate alternatives.'' Copyright holders, not consumers, should decide whether certain kinds of copying are promotional or not, he added.

I'm just not going to make it easy for people to know whose copyrights I'm infringing, that's all

[DBoy]

Wow - I hope they don't ever come accross the MB.C mixes page - whole lotta letter writing would be going down. Ever mix on here has a tracklist!

What styles you mix Sam? What style is this mix?

[sam i am]

yeah look, I'm not saying that heapsa people get busted, I'm just saying I got contacted personally so I stopped

this mix is intended to be the exception cause I figured 10 years isn't a bad milestone

it's a bit of a mixed bag cause it's kind of a bit of a summary of the last 10 years I guess

there's some dubstep, d&b, a bit of breaks, even a bit of electro, some old tech, a dash of rock..

these days mostly I'm playing electronica, breaks, dubstep, 2-step, synthfunk, d&b for the most part...
