Tokyo Takeover!
You know one shitty thing I’ve noticed with this traffic thing on blogs and websites, it’s that the more popular the song is the more traffic you get. For example, you post a Franz Ferdinand track or an old popular remix, this will eventually pop up on Hype Machine, which in turn gets a lot of hits (Franz gets more interest than say the Bon Appetits from Bulgaria that nobodys heard of). And I believe that a lot of bloggers use this as a means to get traffic. They post old popular songs or they all post the same new track from the newest hyped up song.
And as I tried earlier, I posted a Kanye song. which got shitloads of traffic.
But to make this all clear. This blog is for unknown artists mainly, underground artists who wants to reach a wider audience. This blog may not have a massive amounts of followers, but they who do I love for their support. And I will not post songs that are “In” at the moment. Then you can head on over to Hype Machine and click the “Popular” tab. And download the 1 million Diplo remixes and Coldplay and what the heck else you have.
Hoshina Anniversary from Tokyo Japan remixed Tiga, The Bloody Beetroots and Mr. Oizo. And make a awesome job at it. The Mr. Oizo cover sort of sounds out of tune at the beginning, BUT IT AINT, and sounds so cool. If you like these songs you can head over to his Myspace and ask him for the rest of his catalogue, he has a massive amount of stuff stacked away, all above and under.

I think that promoting new music is a great idea, it so difficult to get that jump you need from playing in a bar to hitting the big time.
