Digital Sensation UK six week 30 track giveaway

Digital_sensation

Duane Barry's Digital Sensation label has been releasing some amazing breakbeat tracks over the last few years and are know about to give away the downloads on nearly every track in the back catalogue. This is not the end of the label as some may think but more of a celebration on what they have achieved. Below Duane explains why.

"Back in the summer of 2009 whilst recording my Cosmic Refractions show, I pondered the idea of starting a label. It wasn’t a new idea, there are were/are lots of labels however I had aspirations of a humble label as a means to share the melodic breaks I love with the world. Imagine my thanks when since then, we’ve had over 70 artists, 30 releases, 80 tracks in the Beatport Top 100 charts, 5 Trackitdown #1 singles, airplay on Radio 1 & Kiss FM, reviews in all the major music publications and a Breakspoll nomination.

I find it difficult to express how thankful I am for all the support shown by everyone in the breaks world, specifically the fans that buy our music and allow us to keep doing what we love. So with that in mind, we’re pleased to present the DSUK Giveaway!

Over the next 6 weeks, we will be sharing for FREE pretty much all of the back catalogue from our first 10 releases. Not bonus tracks, not tracks that didn’t quite make the cut, not shitty quality mp3s – the actual retail releases. This incorporates one of more tracks from the following artists:
Duane Barry/The Emissary/Phrakture/Monojoke/Oleg Zubkov/Helbot/T.R.O./Llupa/Elfsong/Aeron Aether/East Café/UnderThis/Mesmer/Breaking News/Future Perfect/Fletric/Retroid/Quadrat Beat/Ghettface/EK/Parallax Breakz/M_Spark /Journeyman & BARRcode – phew!

Each track has been assigned a number and every week we’ll be asking one of the artists above to pick 5 numbers at random. These 5 tracks will then be available to download for free forever. Also, if the artist picks out their own track, we’ll release an additional track! These will be released on SoundCloud where we have unlimited downloads so please feel free to post on any blogs, play in any sets and share with as many friends as you like with our compliments!

We’re not closing down or anything, we just think it’s a waste for these tracks to be sat in the stores gathering digital dust when everyone could enjoy them. If you originally bought any of these tracks when they were first released we appreciate it! And we hope you find some hidden gems in amongst our selections in the upcoming weeks.

Finally, please allow me to again express my thanks to everyone involved in the breaks world for their support of DSUK, especially in the beginning it means so much to us and we’re looking forward to continuing to bring you the best in progressive and melodic breaks!
