you're exactly right tom. it can be awfully difficult to get distribution when
you only have one record pressed up.
white labels are intended for dj's and stores/distribs, thats their function,
promotion. to say that's lame doesnt really make sense. when dj's get hyped up
on some white label, its great for the label, i love "whitelabel bs with dj's".
also...what is "in-the-spirit-of-techno" when it comes to putting out records?
make a blind investment in manufacturing then toss it out with no promotion or
decent distribution for the straggling fans and sit back and relax as you watch
your label sink like a rock? that seems to be pretty much how it goes. we keep
diving underwater and picking up the rock tho, its fun.
i guess to be really tekn0 now you have to be on some netlabel digital distrib
kinda thingy, are records even tekn0 anymore?
tekn0!!!

huh? i dont think it was like that, i think they did a limited
pressing and there was next to no interest in the record. i had
002 before it got serious distribution and i never heard anyone
mention it before it showed up everywhere. once that got some
attention theyve released steadily and have repressed that first
one. how can that be a bad thing?
