Rant

Thu, 28 May 2009 00:00:00 +0100

I am very sad to see that our latest release has been pirated so hard. I can easily find over 100 different places where our release has been uploaded for people to freely download it... We spent a lot of time making these tracks and for some artists, this is their only income and it's really hurting them a lot! If you do download the track and like it, please consider buying it, it would help us in so many ways! Buy the release here
