Best beer = Polish and Czech beer imo.
Try Żywiec or Tyskie if you will ever browse through shelves in markets.
Have you heard
Dirty south-We are ? (this australian house producer) ?
Sounds to me like a poor attempt to imitate prydz,and i cant believe they released it as this guy earleir made some dance floor bangers.But i think thats what i was talking about,he made some reputation and now even those crappier tracks will reach clubs and make some commercial succes

Pretty much agree with all this stuff here especially with what Glenn is saying about the quality of the tracks. If you have great tracks they generally sell themselves to the labels etc.. The better the track the better the label and the better the label generally the better promotion. I think it's really important in this day to build a good reputation with a few hot tracks and then keep it consistent. There's a lot of guys with a few hits who can then just produce solid stuff and keep the attention of buyers.
There's so much stuff out there and people have a limited span for how many producers they can keep track of. So the key is to really stick out with some high quality stuff and get yourself on the shortlist of as many people as you can.
Pryda does it well with releasing not too many tracks, maybe 3-4 at once but they are generally all bombs. Few months or so later he pushes out a few more. That way you are always looking forward to the new ones and the current ones are strong enough to last the duration.
There are other people doing a bit less quality but at least consistent but more quantity This can work as well.
Agree on the Tyskie, really nice stuff.

I don't actually use that feature although I should. So just goes to show that I only really follow a few artists regularly. So I figured best try to attain this type of 'mindshare' with my own productions. Was a bit easier in the Hooj days as everyone would listen to those new releases.
