I personally don't see anything wrong with being distributed by
itunes-even if it's by far one of the most commercial means of

household name. I just thought that they were underground,
underground, I mean underground resistant!
UR have made some good moves I feel, they have their own downloads
site and they've have been helped a lot of smaller labels as well so
I think it's a natural move for them to spread onto Beatport and iTunes.
It's just another distribution method and to be fair to iTunes they
have supported a lot of smaller labels that other download sites
wouldn't. I don't think any of us are going to change the Top Ten on
the Electronics chart (It's been just about the same for 2 years) but
we need people to get "the music" and just like when UR tried doing
the cheap 7 inches, this allows people to get the music and the
artists to get paid.
The guy who does the Essential Electronic Tunes section on the site
is a real techno head and he was buzzing that UR had got some tracks
on there and some of them are now on the Essential list, so the
Underground fight goes on from the inside.
There is no secret to this biz. Records are not selling like they
used too.
We have a culture coming up that don't believe they should pay for
anything, that's the problem.

What's so wrong with UR being available on iTunes?
