Hi Elson,
I have to disagree with you that a DJ would throw away a producers CDR. Actually these days that CDR is a rare gem, usually because it's an unreleased track. If the track is released (not so rare) and this DJ is purely in touch with music then he would keep that CDR in a safe place as part of his collection, assuming the song(s) are good. Now if this DJ is one of those look at me types, your right, I couldn't see the CDR making to the car.
I was speaking of the DJ who produces. The Sexy Lady track I spoke of is Tim's work. I work with an artist who started spinning (mostly vinyl) but always plays his new stuff off of CDR before and after mastering to get feedback or to see how the frequencies sound on other sound systems. It keeps him from becoming complacent.
I would have to disagree that the DJ/Producer would not play any other CDR's, Burdy of Baby Mammoth is one who would and welcomes it. I have 6 unreleased tracks by Tellefuzz (Don Verbrilli) Upstairs Recordings and the label asked that we play them at our event which we do, yet not to distribute them. These tracks are now in demand prior to their release. It is a form of marketing but what's wrong with that? I really like his work.
