I absolutely agree that we probably need to market this music differently and crossover to CDs and live performances. Like others have said, to the general population, the DnB name has been tarnished.
I have been making tracks recently where I loathe the idea of placing "bookend," mixable intros and outros on them. I felt the song just doesn't call for it, but to be accepted as a track that would be played out it needs to have it. Maybe these tracks shouldn't be played out and should be geared towards the listening audience? The traditional DnB structure has really begun to bore me. I can't finish this one track because I really don't want to put the traditiional intro and outro on it. Would DnB labels be into it if I sent them demo tracks that weren't setup like standard mixable tracks?
