3. Save music journalism
a reminder to any artists not vocally outraged by the disintegration of music publications: spotify can't make you interesting.

4. Just so you know, we dont make people pay for editorial
When there are no decent music magazines or sites left, and all that remains is sponsored content, advertorial, paid-for exclusives, ad placement-dependent features, press releases re-written as articles, corporate playlists and pay-to-upload streaming sites… what then?

5. lol
I stay seeing music described as “90s House”. In the ‘90s, if you called that House, someone would cuss you out.

6. yep
The solution to the pitchfork episode can't just be for new major publications exclusively run by people from middle to upper class backgrounds

7. how about, making YOUR music stand out?
Every DJ wants to get more bookings but the majority don’t have an updated demo mix or press photos/kit.
How do you expect to be taken seriously in this highly-saturated industry?
If sharing this makes a DJ upset, It’s a reminder that there’s a reason why you feel behind.

8. Agree
Hot take: independent/underground artists release too much music too fast and don't promote enough.

9. Especially at work!
nobody tells you how much ambient music takes over your life once you enter your 30s

10. DONT!
If someone gives you unreleased tracks why would you share them? Why do you think that is ok?
