so now that klute's all techno ep is in rdb, what other genres are fair game?

[geist]

the fuck your minimal ep on suicide commercial

 

it's blatantly all techno

 

I'm not complaining - I'm glad it is in the database, but a couple of years ago when I started entering in some techno/hardcore releases in the vein of enzyme records, I was politely asked to back off of such submissions

 

so are we officially expanding? Or is rdb loosely constrained to drum and bass, and genres that vaguely relate to drum and bass?

[haste]

We're not going to take huge amounts of other genres right now as there is still not enough resource for entering it all but as soon as the new admin system is in place then the site will be expanding.

 

The choice to expand is not one of not wanting to, it's more a case that we don't have the ability to at the moment.

[theorie]

I was thinking the other day... I have a ever growing DVD collection. Is there an 'rdb' for DVDs that anyone knows of?

[haste]

None that I've seen. Good idea, though.

 

imdb should offer it as an option

It's not as black and white as you make it. The big difference between this techno and the 'other' techno is that this is done by a producer which does drum & bass as well and is therefore listed in the database. The same goes for John Tejada for instance, who does techno as well nowadays.

 

As we explained to you earlier as you refer to, the reason was no so much that we don't want 'other' music in the database, but the fact that even with just drum & bass I can't keep up with the amount submissions. That was why you were asked to wait with submissions which were non-dnb until we have the new backend and more people can add things to the database.
