Weehoo, you know your stuff! 🥳
For some reason that I don't know, Klartraum wasn't and isn't picked up by more than a niche.
These days house, deep house and even melodic techno are in trouble since everybody seems to 'love' the more raw sides of Techno whilst most of those everybody's did shit on Techno years and years ago. The strange world of music fans.... well fans.... peeps paying to experience festivals 😉
In the meantime, we can enjoy some great music 🎶
Using YT, or Soundcloud is indeed great when artists do that. Not that so many earn some interesting income from releases anyways, it's mainly a marketing instrument than anything else. Therefore offering music for free, is not that big a deal for many artists. Or should not be.
Never heard of Samurai.fm... Back in the days I was using Soulseek, in times when vinyl releases were still the norm. Soulseek was used by quite a few releasing artists to test their newest ideas and tracks. Soulseek was the place to be for me to discover all sorts of new music, maybe I discovered Klaus Schulz also through that p2p service back then, not sure anymore.
