Beatport releases - new or not so new?

I'm pretty sure it happens when different artists release their songs on multiple labels.

I now feel the need to drop all this drum and bass stuff and start playing classic disco so I can call myself Fancy Reason - best DJ name ever.

No, its gotta be DJ Fancy Reason or you're not a real dj

beatport has a system that not even beatport understands. Same track, different label - different price? 'Exclusive' releases that are available elsewhere? 'New' re-releases? Bizarre genre allocation? Nevermind the PATHETIC copyright restrictions.

+1.

but it's simple to deal with…beatport in one tab, discogs in the next. Also, sometimes different label's versions of tracks sound different because they use different masting engineers (or will further squash an already mastered track to make theirs sound louder than the other label's copy of the same song).

While I give them a lot of money and generally agree with a lot of things they do…and really like their extensive collection of music…Beatport is yet another example in this world where "best" doesn't necessarily imply "good."

Well said M - better the devil I know than the one I don't.
