Q: Why don't you come out with releases more often?

A:

All of us here at Culture Shock are music industry professionals that are also hard at work at other production/composition and remix projects, so it is hard for us to come out with releases as often as we would like. Most importantly, we believe in the concept of 'quality over quantity', which is to say that we know that DJs work hard for their money and are let down when they buy a CD with a lot of filler and only 1 usable track. We solve this by trying to release CDs when there are enough tracks to put out a viable release that will stand the test of time. In sum - we don't put out issues for the sake of sales like many other services.

 

Q: Service *x* has song *y* on their CD. Why don't you?

A:

We believe in being leaders, not followers in this genre. Since we are all working DJs and are 'in the trenches' so-to-speak, we believe we have a better 'feel' as to what's viable in this genre than other services. Also, there are many times when we simply wont put a song on an issue because a) it sucks or b) it simply wouldn't be used much in a nightclub or mixshow environment.
