Had to copy and paste this story from another website. I would love to know who this DJ was wouldn't you?
"Hi
I would like some feedback on what i should do about this. This is very
serious in my opinion and although everybody knows that artists get ripped
in various situations, i cannot tolerate something that is happening right
in front of my eyes and nobody knows about .
I bought this white label about 5 years ago, a disco track and about a year
ago this local dj/ "producer" was over to my place and he then asked me if
i could hand him over a few older records that i used to play at a
particular club just to listen to them at home . He longed to listen to
some tracks he used to dance to when he was a pary goer . Willingly i choose
him a few tracks and to cut things short these tracks never returned. This
particular disco track was one of them.
I have been hearing several news about the same guy having produced a few
tracks and a particular track hitting the local charts . Local newspapers
and magazines have been interviewing him and his gig schedule got really
busy. This actual track is also gonna be released on an Italian label this
coming summer.
I am not enclosing any names ok. I just need opinions.
Today i decided to visit the website of this guy to listen to this 'amazing
tune' many people are talking about. Online i listened to this tune and it
totally came to my mind that this was the same promo copy i gave this guy a
year ago. Nothing has changed , only pitched up !!!
I could also hear the vinyl noise at the beginning of the
track,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so stupid !!! ( he said he wanted a retro-feel)
I remember the name of the label it was released on cause i remember the
paper that was inside the sleeve , which he didnt get . i kept that but i
cannot find it today .
I cannot understand how this can happen ?? If the original label gets to
know about this the new label releasing the same track it gets sued i guess
!!!
Besides this guy is using somebody elses music to gain fame and
international gigs .
How shall i proceed ? What would you do ?
Thanks
Owen"
