politics of acquiring unreleased music

oh please come on. everyone knows the answer why some tracks are delayed release for a long time. what a coincidence, they're always:

a. a really good track
b. played by many top big name djs

i think the answer is clear.

its pretty simple the process of any dj that wants a track. "wow that is a nice track" -> looks for track ->finds on beatport and buys or buys vinyl. OR ... "wow that is a nice track" -> looks for track -> cant find it anywhere -> gets it anyway he can.

forget about the knowledge that a track is not released yet. i dont have time to know how or why i cant find a track. i dont have time to find out why i cant find a track for purchase is because its not released yet or its because i just havent found the right store. its a matter of: cant find it for sale anywhere -> get it any possible way i can.

being mad at us for doing this is like being mad at some process in nature. its like being angry at a wolf for eating one of your chickens. you need to put a fence around your chickens.

oh the irony.

Do you feel better now that you shared your point of view?

just another justification.

I understand your point of view, and in my opinion just downloading unreleased tracks to listen to is one thing, but actually playing them out? I wouldn't even dare doing that though.
That is what you meant when you said 'any dj' right?

lazy djs that want to play the same crap every other jock is playing. dig your own crates, find your own gems, and have a nice day.

what is the problem?

Labels decide who gets a promo and they decide if the track is going to be released. they ate protecting their "chickens" as you put it. Ask the label if you can get a promo....

Im by no means a famous dj but alot of the time if I ask a label for a digital promo and show them where Im playing it at (if it's a nice club),promise them feedback and that I won't share it, they will give me a promo copy.

Have any of you ever tried asking?
