#45: Lucas James — Genuine Relationships, Transparent Communication & Reaching Major Outlets by EDMProd published on 2017-01-05T20:23:54Z In this first Prodcast episode of 2017, I am joined by Lucas James: the label manager at Seeking Blue - the imprint associated with the massive promotional network, Mr. SuicideSheep. Much like their network counterpart, Seeking Blue has proven to be one of the most forward thinking electronic music imprints and another impressively successful venture by this group. Lucas details much of what has fueled that success for the label, what makes their imprint so distinct, and offers invaluable advice for aspiring producers hoping to reach an outlet for their music. We also talk about: - What changes the music industry faces and will face in the near future - The importance of quick communication in the music industry - Why being genuine and transparent will greatly benefit an artist - How labels can work with an artist on their creative vision - Building a personal relationship between artist and label - Why Seeking Blue doesn’t ever sign artists exclusively Lucas James on the web: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Aeuria Twitter: https://twitter.com/aeuria Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/aeuria Genre Learning Comment by Aeuria. @soularorder: Back then we were just setting up though mate – didn't even have musicbed set up until the end. I realize that the label, and especially you do a lot more now, and are in fact a really good platform for starting artists. Was just trying to be more to the point referencing my involvement and my artist/label career early on. Definitely wasn't meant as anything offensive at all and apologies if you took it that way. 2017-01-29T16:11:17Z Comment by Cid Poitier Another interesting & helpful episode - Very succinct, and to the point 2017-01-12T02:07:25Z Comment by SOULAR ORDER Thanks for the shoutout lmao CBN does a bit more than "releasing music on bandcamp". 2017-01-08T21:29:11Z Comment by IZECOLD really inspiring, thanks! 2017-01-07T01:45:14Z Comment by Elyktrify Tune Dig Great so far.
