Quick, wave goodbye to hard dance before it leaves

[ReBirth]

yes, as well as a few remixes which will now never see the light of day, but still took time, effort and money to produce.

Arr shit thats bad news. I'll be missing Above The Sky the most. That's my fave Hard Trance label ever. I hope Tony Burt and Mat Silver can carry on running it without their support. Uberdruck will still live tho you'll just have to get them on import.

That's a damn shame.

 

Was that a bit 'naughty' of Alpha then, or is it normal for them to pay the label retrospectively? What kind of 'leading time' are you usually looking at before a label sees the dosh for units sold?

[Chris Hawkes]

same as most industrys i think, about 90 days to invoice.

[ReBirth]

Yea, it's supposed to be 90 days.

I can't imagine the distributors owing that much money to the labels in question...? (It's quite possible I'm being a little naive here.) A lot of independents are run on a shoe-string anyway, we're not talking massive sums of money, and as far as I understand the distributors buy stock up front (on the basis that the label will buy back unsold stock afterwards).

we are talking into the £thousands for several producers

 

This is why it will hurt so much - a LOT of people have lost a LOT of money over this
