So like, this is always seemingly done from a content CONSUMER point of view.
How can we provide content creators a safety net whom we as fans enjoy their content but said artists need to have their name and face out in the open? Particularly music artists/DJs/independent artists/etc?
I swear, anyone wanting privacy, just start calling yourself an artist and boom suddenly nobody can find any information about you! You don't even have to be serious about it, just take a crayola to a bar napkin... /s
That's quite a big umbrella. You don't have to pay labels to pay artists. Plenty of artists release HOURS upon HOURS of high quality COMMERCIAL FREE underground bass / drum and bass / jungle / etc. You just have to know where to look.
I'm a bass aggregator for my local music scene and here are some artists putting out absolutely high quality shit free to you on the regular: https://odysee.com/@shades:3/liquidSoulBirthday089-4hr20min:6 https://odysee.com/@shades:3/fullcornmoonweek37:1
I plug into the mixer after about 5 minutes in the first link and 10 in the second. Please go pay your local artists and stop listening to cookie cutter produced for the masses music. It's so much more rewarding when your favorite artists recognize your face and remember your name.
