Bollywood...



For me, Proxy is probably the only artist at the moment that has retained that sense of hype and mystique that was once so synonymous with my hero's of old (SebastiAn, Justice, Bloody Beetroots etc.)

As Thomas Von Party illustrated so vividly in Turbo's latest press release...

"We've decided to stop peddling music in this depressing market. Sales are down, and since all growth is in events, we figure we might as well just throw in the towel on a broken model and focus on what really works, while preserving and developing our integrity as artists and purveyors of fine techno culture."

"However, this does not mean that we're going to give our music away for free... on the contrary, we've chosen to re-introduce a long-lost commodity in the music world: scarcity."

(You can read the whole thing here)

He's right: The biggest rush for me, and i'm sure for a lot of you, was finding that new SebastiAn remix or Justice edit (It always comes back to Ed Banger Records... But they did the hype thing so well!)

So I congradulate Turbo for this brave decision. And it sounds cleche... But it's good to see that their not just in it for the money.

The majority of you have most likely heard this song in some shape or form... and yes... it's rip... but it still raises my pulse, and makes my eye-lids flutter.

Proxy - Indian Film rip


APRIL FOOLS!

by 2010 turbo will be exclusively not listened too

why would they expect artists to put out music for no reason whatsoever so that friends of tiga and thomas can hear them and it never be released to the general population. why would i go to see a dj peform if i cannot recognise 1 song they are playing because none have ever been released to the public ??

turbo is home to some of the best purveyors of electronic music and they choose to stifle their creativity i just hope proxy and co jump ship and continue to release good music

I think the whole thing about scarcity was just an april joke. (Press release: 1 april)I read it somewhere but don't know anymore where it was.

Finding "Boys Noize - Come with me", was my biggest rush.

Cheers
