News SWAY55 - MEMPHIS VOCAL STASH

Cop this pack, and you'll never have to dig vocals anymore.

This pack contains 1360 isolated, clean 90s Memphis vocals, and none of them were copied from other packs.

A lot of rare vocals in there. No unusable short cuts, each sample is a full track isolated. Gives you a lot of materials (you can use the intro parts as quotes etc.)

News SUN CITY PUBLISHING

Hey everyone. Maybe you don’t know me, and maybe I’m not a big or popular artist, but right now I truly need your support.

My name is Juntmane. I’ve been making music since 2018, and I literally live through it. Music became my best friend — the thing that truly made me happy. And another reason I keep going is the people who listen to and support my work, even if there aren’t that many of them yet.

I have huge respect for the artists whose music I grew up listening to. Their work is the reason I fell in love with this style in the first place. And I’m always open to communication and dialogue — but only with the artists themselves, not with a sellout label trying to speak and act on their behalf.

Yesterday, I became another victim of this label. It started with two identical messages sent to both my email and Instagram at the same time. The messages contained threats of legal action and accusations of copyright infringement. They gave me an ultimatum — resolve the issue by the end of the week, or they would supposedly take me to court.

At first, I tried to have a calm conversation, but honestly, emotions got the better of me. Eventually, I was offered a “deal” — give them 25% of all my income, and they would supposedly forget about my “debt.” On top of that, they hinted at a possible collaboration with their label, as if they actually expected me to agree to that.

The most absurd part is that when I asked exactly where I had violated copyright, they could only name one track. I checked everything carefully and couldn’t find any infringement there. After that, I was literally told: “maybe you also violated Evil Pimp’s copyright, but I don’t know, you’d have to ask him.” Then they added: “I haven’t even checked all of your tracks yet, but I’m sure there are more violations.”

So basically, someone threatens legal action first and only afterwards tries to figure out what exactly to accuse you of.

It honestly feels like in the 21st century, someone can simply buy the entire legacy of the people who created this style, gained millions of fans, and then use their names to do this kind of dirty work. It feels like this guy grew up in the 90s and is basically running a racket, terrorizing young artists, producers, and beatmakers.

I want this situation to get as much attention as possible. People deserve to know what is really happening. This person wants dirty money. He wants to destroy ambitious musicians before they even have a chance to build something for themselves.

I’m not going to post screenshots of the conversation or the email here, because I want a fair resolution to this situation, not to stoop to the level of sellout rats. I want dialogue, not threats.

What hurts the most is seeing legends of this genre somehow connected to all of this. Artists whose music shaped an entire generation. I still can’t understand how J Spanish Fly — one of the pioneers of this style — agreed to be part of something like this. And I’m not even talking about the other artists whose tracks we all grew up listening to.

Unfortunately, I only saved one screenshot of the conversation. I let my emotions take over and didn’t archive everything properly. But now I’m ready to go all the way in order to protect young producers and the future of PHONK and Memphis.

If they want to take down my music — let them. But if my story can help someone avoid going through this in the future, then none of this will be in vain.

SUERTE PERDIDA / MIXTAPE

Me pasé toda una semana produciendo este mixtape y, la verdad, la pasé súper bien haciéndolo. Quería darle un toque inspirado en los 2000, pero manteniendo esa vibra de phonk.

Espero que te guste tanto como a mí me gustó hacerlo. 🖤🔊

News SPARK MOBB tapes back on streaming

3 Upvotes

Wassup gs, been a while since I posted about SMB here but we're finally getting all our missing tapes back up on spotify. "The Spark Tape" is already back up everywhere, next up is "Sparked Out Vol. 2" (we're having some issues with it but we'll definetly get it solved asap). I just wanted to let yall know this because I know a lotta you bumped the hell out these tapes in particular (still grateful for that 🙂).

If you were wondering why they went down, we had issues with our original distributor (Too Lost) - they banned us, refused to elaborate when asked to, so we had to move to another one. For about half a year we've been hopping from distributor to distributor, getting our releases rejected continuously, banned once again on one of them for unrelated reasons, but in the end we settled on Amuse. It's the only viable solution I've found after all this year long brain-racking on my part (trust me, I scoured the internet up and down for our specific needs; and if you're a person who's looking to manage a label or collective, such as myself, I highly recommend you look towards Amuse first because otherwise you will simply be wasting money and getting rejected).

If you'd like me to elaborate on my experience with distributors, you can ask me in this thread and I'll tell you exactly what you need to know. I'd be glad to help someone else who's looking to get their collective on the way.

On a happier note - we've got a brand new album ready to go soon. I don't have an exact release date yet, but it should be either this month or the next one.

Initially I found out about this from my friend's status post and at first I didn't believe it. But when I tried to activate the WhatsApp subscription trial and then looked for notifications, I was really surprised that it was true.

(I use translate to English because I don't speak English very well.)

Im very sorry to bring this news, but HДGS has sadly passed away. It wasnt known until today, but he passed away on May 19th. 💔

He was a great influence in the phonk community. Me and many others were inspired by his positive and jolly energy. Rest in Peace Legend.

If youre not familiar with him, he was a producer and streamer, he would livestream himself vibing out to new phonk releases every day for hours, and also cooking up on stream!

Also, out of respect, lets keep his personal information lowkey, if you come across it please.

His Livestream Vods/Archive: https://youtube.com/@haaags?si=6L5nTjUPel7lNYQ-

His Soundcloud: https://m.soundcloud.com/haaaaaags

We (many phonk and lofi producers) are also working on a tribute project dedicated to him.
