How are you going to make money if you're just giving music away?

maybe ben makes a living from selling drugs on the streets or murdering for hire. he doesn't need money from a record label as he is megarich anyway.

btw hardly anyone can live from a record label nowadays. loads of your favourite music would never see the light of day if it was all about the money.
love is all.

Hey Ben nice to see a fellow artist putting your stuff out there, and I agree in the real world nobody puts there hand in their pocket and parts with their hard earned cash to purchase an artists work , it's a sad but honest truth... I'll be checking out your work for sure as I love hearing new raw talent, there's more freedom with such artists to not be governed by the label boss's etc... Take the Klaxons scrapped experimental second LP. .that's what they wanted to do but they were clearly told otherwise, who knows though maybe it was for the best at this stage of their career, the difficult second album is out the way now so maybe they can go more independent etc ... Jeez I waffle on! But u get my drift, glad your label is up and running Ben, good luck with it.

I do.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
And I will rape
Each one of you

Good luck with the label Ben. Looks like you have put in a lot of work.

I personally go out of my way to pay for music from certain artists, ones who put in the effort and deserve it.

You should consider a "donations" button on your site, there are loads of people that survive from donations on websites, there are plenty of generous people around.
Further Remixed There's nothing else...
