davidalexander Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Look like the dance music bleeding will continue....New releases are finally coming out but with the ever falling dollar imports are 2-3 pesos more now...$13 bucks for a 12inch single is painful... purchasing double packs and single sided releases wont make much econ sense...some labels are getting it, with digital distrib...but its usually not brand new releases and still not enough labels are behind it.I love buying and spining wax...but its demise is getting closer...

Guest saleen351 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 davidalexander,well if you want a solution to the problem, you can hedge your expected purchases, by buying or selling the euro....not sure if you know options, but it will work, and your only expsense is transaction costs...

davidalexander Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 hedging the euro to buy wax, thats an interesting strategy, I'm not there quite yet..I do think that this will have a negative impact on the ever declining sales. If your product just went up by 25% in a major market your gonna hurt.....Digital distrib has to improve inorder for labels to survive, IMODavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatas2277 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 well Hooj is offering d/l of some of their tracks for a very reasonable price...i think many of the labels need to start doing this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander You may want to find a new source for your vinyls. I am sure you have your reasons for using who you are currently using but hunting around may help you find a good source with decent pricing.Just my 2 centsI feel your pain though.

sotuorlando Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Well it doesn't look like it's gonna get better anytime soon seeing that the Fed is pushing for a weaker dollar to boost exports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidalexander Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 Yeah there are still some places with decent prices but I think eventually most stores will have to increase prices, since costs are rising. with digital distrib...no such thing as imports..I love vinyl..but as the major distribution method for single releases its not working well anymore.I wonder if a small dance label can survive by selling $2 protected mp3 files.
