My remix on someone else's EP - Need help

The problem is not that there's so much shitty music, it's that there's so much mediocre music. Nearly anybody can make a track that sounds okay with just a little practice. Combine that with the ADD tendencies of society in general and we find ourselves in this predicament. Most people don't have the patience to go through the flood of these mediocre tracks to find the ones that are really good. Because of that we end up with a flood of mediocre DJ sets and it all just perpetuates itself.

You are talking to two older schoolers who have both totally embraced technology. What we are talking about is the deluge of shit music out there because any numbnut can pirate the software and samples. When labels would turn you down it was probably for a good reason. Knowing someone that runs a small west coast label, they listen to EVERYTHING they are sent. They are always looking for artists to support and help break out. If you release on your own, your impact will be small unless you promo the shit out of it to working DJs and get good feedback. And at that point if it that good a label will want to sign it to give it a proper release.

This is actually something i can agree with. You may not make it HUGE as an independent, but getting noticed and picked up by a label because you've consistently put out your own work is what I guess I can agree on.
