Diary Of A Free Album: Sick Girls Postscript
October 6
Here's a handy postscript to the old 'Diary Of A Free Album' series: The compilation 'Revolution No. 5' by Berlin DJs The Sick Girls is out now. Looks like a pretty tasty compilation, all things considered, as it contains tracks from the likes of Mumdance, Untold, DJ Slugo and Shunda K, and of course Sick Girls themselves. You can check it out here. What makes it of particular interest to us though, is that it contains the track I.D. & Baobinga - Raise Riddim. Which was available for free (or pay what you want) on the I.D. & Baobinga album 'Bass Music Sessions' (click here to grab a free copy if you missed it before).
So, I guess this is a small update on the 'what happened next' part of the story, but it does alter the results slightly. First, it means a touch more exposure, which is always good; the compilation is coming out on BBE records, who are a fairly big indie label. Second, there's the old favourite, money. We'll be entitled to a royalty. It won't be a lot, granted - (the kind of money that in 2005/6, a producer would get quite frequently, before the rise of DJ mixes on the net wiped out the compilations market) - but certainly useful and money which, since we released the album ourselves, we don't have to hand 50% of to a label.
