What are your thoughts about this one?

Their releases are chopped up versions of released tracks. So it’s not really bootlegs, but I don’t think it’s 100% legal either.

Yeah its fine, it’d be official as its being released via a reputable platform (BandCamp).

Plenty of bootleg stuff on BC but unless they remove it then it should stay as official IMO.

Really, that surprises me.

OK, but should it link to the original artist(s) in some way? It’s not strictly remixes or mashups, but something else. Some are based on an artist, some on a specific album, or a location.

Why do you say they are “not strictly remixes”. They sound like remixes to me :slight_smile:

A substantially altered version of a song, produced by mixing together individual tracks or segments of one or more source works.

Clicking through their discography, I see they themselves too describe the tracks as “edits” and / or “remixes”, so why not stick with that?

ETA: which means you can just follow the style guidelines for remixes and mashups.

Ye, well certainly a lot of the vaporwave scene is full of shady stuff with uncleared samples etc. :stuck_out_tongue: and this Follytechnic artist doesn’t seem too far off that
