DIARY OF A FREE ALBUM

February 22nd, 2010 by bigup (0) Blog, Music

Our friends over at Bass Music blog, I.D. and Baobinga, came up with a great idea – to make an album called “Bass Music Sessions” and release it for free. What’s so special, you say? Well… besides the fact this album is a brilliant selection of 10 multi-genre tracks, that have been played out by everyone from Claude Von Stroke and DJ Friction to Buraka Som Sistema, TRG and Untold, this is also an experiment. A well-documented experiment in a form of a weekly diary in order to see how successful a free online album giveaway could be and what sorts of mistakes can be avoided if one thinks of doing something similar. So far there are four very extensive entries in the Diary, which can be very useful for the DIY crews in the music industry.

LISTEN TO “HUSH UP RIDDIM” by I.D. & BAOBINGA

We’re posting one track from the album, kindly released to us by I.D. & Baobinga. The full album will be released for free, yes for free, on March 1st. And we’ll post the link to it here as well.

PLASTIC PEOPLE: ALWAYS FWD>> NEVER BACKWARD

February 22nd, 2010 by bigup (0) Blog, Music

Rightfully considered one of the best soundsystems in the world, “dubstep mecca”, and home of the most FWD>>-looking music on earth, Plastic People is faced with a trouble that threatens to potentially stop the existence of the club already on March 11.

Police posted this note outside the door of the club and as an evidence attached a report from undercover agents who claim to watch more than 20 people openly using drugs at the bar during last year’s Christmas party at Plastic People. The management of the club denies the incident, and some suggest that this is a fabricated excuse to shut down the club and turn the Curtain Road into a new condominiums development.

Within a few hours of the incident there was a “Keep Plastic People Alive” group formed on Facebook which has now reached almost 4000 members. Join, follow the story, and help keep Plastic People alive. In 2-weeks time something needs to happen.
