Funk D’Void and Soma Records break the mould once again, and bring you a completely new idea. You can download the Vector Lovers mix of the next single ‘Way Up High’ on the day that it gets serviced to A-list DJ’s. You get 3 free listens then the option to buy. After that you can mail it to your mates and if they buy, you get money back...genius!
Available at www.somarecords.com and other selected sites from April 1st.
The 12 inch release of ‘Way Up High’ features Alexander Kowalski, Vector Lovers and Smoke remixes and is commercially released 3rd May 2004.
Weed is a method of encoding audio and video files aimed at changing the way we download and share music. Weed makes sure that rights holders get paid for producing their music and fans get rewarded for distributing it. ‘Way Up High’ will be offered to fans as a free, try before you buy download. They can then play the track three times for free on any PC. After three free plays they are asked to pay for the file. Once they purchase ‘Way Up High’, they are free to play it on up to three PCs. They can also burn the files to CD and play them on a stereo, or transfer them to Windows compatible portable devices.
Best of all, the file can be shared with anyone (by P2P network, by e-mail, Web download, FTP, IRC, or on CD/DVD) as long as the files remain in their original form as Windows Media files. If someone that a user shares a file with purchases that file, the user will earn a payment for helping to distribute it
Go to http://www.i-dj.co.uk for all the info and watch out for the file on the 1st April.
