More Capitalism Bullshit!

 

Waking up to this bullshit from Bandcamp really makes me want to close my account and hang up my ear phones.
This regulation is going to kill the DIY music scene, where, in my opinion the most cutting edge music lives and breathes.
As a DIY label, who was grateful at first, for a site like Bandcamp to give me platform to sell my music for free, over the last decade my sales/profits have plummeted due to extortionate postage prices, selling fees, regulations, tariffs, Brexit and now this.
The Government/Bandcamp knows who I am, why do I need a passport or driving licence to prove who I am now?
Someone please make a site/service where I can prove who I am, to get paid for my art, without having to spend money to prove who I am.
Alot of artists like me can't afford such luxuries as a car or holidays aboard, so, don't own the ID they are asking for. Another money grab in peak capitalism times. I'm in fear the next generation of artists will be talentless rich folks like the current autosync DJ scene, pumping out A.I. driven music they have not made themself.

P.S. the short notice about this change is a joke, I got the notice today at the end of summer 2025! Cheers for the heads up Bandcamp! Mad to think my album last year was reviewed by the head of Bandcamp, now I'm thinking of shutting up shop, until I can afford prove who I am.
This has put a spanner in the works for my next big projects and I will be looking for a new site to support my work if I can't get the ID in place soon.

Bye bye Paypal my old friend, it was fun while it lasted and if it wasn't for the easy way to share and get paid for my work at first, my music would of stayed on my cassettes/CD's/Minidiscs and hard drives for no-one else to hear.

If you would like to help keep my label alive please support my work now, so, I can get a passport in place, before the cut-off point.
I have a full discography 90% discount on Bandcamp active now.

Any support would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Tailored Communication Report

Acrelid Live At Red Laser 06/07/2024 (Full Set Soundboard)

 

 Acrelid live at Red Laser's Galactic Bounce at The White Hotel, Salford, Manchester. 06/07/2024.

 

Red Laser Soundboard/Personal Tascam Crowd Recording of my first ever Live set. It only took 25 years for a serious offer! 

It's fair to say it went more than well, except for not pressing record on the tascam until 9 mins in, the crowd fades in 9 mins into the set, oops! lesson learned. When I get few different live sets recorded and collected, I will do an old school rave tape pack of them all, then the circle will be complete. Rave Tapes Forever! 

 

Big love to the Red Laser Records crew for giving me the chance to shine, listen to this boys! The energy! Amazing sound system and the crowd was well up for it. Shoutout to Red Laser Crew Woody, Adam and Matt. I look forward to working again with you soon! Shoutout to the other acts, Steve Barnett, Rhod Parry and Kickin Pigeon (Cheers for kickin this pigeon on stage! I got the bug now!). Shoutout to Dan the sound engineer for your kind words during the set, it's always a good sign things are sounding as they should :) Could not be happier with how it sounded loud. 

 

Big love to my partner Jenna for sharing and documenting the experience with me. Good times :) x The pictures look awesome. 

 

Big love to Jesse at Dance Data Records for pressing the Illegal Rave Tapes Selekion LP and getting the ball rolling. Hopefully this is the start of many raves to come...
