Evacuate The Dancefloor

I`m going to get on my soapbox a little bit here,so apologies in advance.If there was ever proof that blogging does not hurt music sales,this is it.I hold my hands up and admit it that I blogged the ass off the new Cascada tune "Evacuate The Dancefloor".And not just on this blog either.OK,maybe it`s a tad illegal or slightly immoral even,but it can`t have hurt sales that much.Straight in the U.K charts at number 1.Well done Cascada for starters..
Obviously there will be a few sales lost but I think the overall promotion received totally outweighs the minor losses.Since the music blogosphere is naturally the haunt of keen Dj`s and the like i think the way forward for PROMOTION of music is now "the blog".I am not personally on the mailing lists for A.A.T.W & M.O.S but you bet your ass my buddies pass me the discs.Not that I need them.Point being,I recently had M.O.S contact me thru here and present me with a takedown notice and threats of legal action.Fair enough.One of the tracks was the new Dougal & Gammer track.Here`s me trying to promote one of my old skool buddies tracks,and the email arrives saying "remove or else".No problem.Gone forever.But tell me how well will that track do?No way near as well as E.T.D..
So Mr big business,let us bloggers get on with it.The music is obviously going to the right people,mainly the dj`s:The ones that aren`t on the mailing lists and the lads that play in Witherspoons and the like week in week out,playing your music to their crowds that then go out and buy it!And not just in the U.K either.we`re talking worldwide here..
If the record companies actually figured out that blogging was helping their sales,they would be e-mailing promos let right & centre to all the blog owners.I think they should already be doing that.Its not as though we cant get what we want is it?The internet has blown it all wide open anyway and you can bet this wheel wont stop turning,so embrace it and work with us and leave it out with the takedown notices.If any more proof is needed we do the industry a favour,just wait till the new Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris track gets leaked..Rant over.

Anyways,Cascada has a new album out and here on the blog to preview,and there`s new remix floating `round the net for the dj`s,so I thought why not put a final E.T.D post together.Lets hope it stays up a while.oo er.Dont forget to support your favourite artist and buy the cd`s.They really do sound better than the mp3`s anyway.
