It was quite hesitantly that we at Praxis started “selling” files. The way things developed in the last few years it seemed to become inevitable to offer high quality downloads for sale as more and more DJ’s in the field of electronic dance music started playing files from their laptops rather than vinyl. For years we had mp3’s available for free download on the c8 site considering them to be a possibility to check out the tracks before buying them on vinyl, or not. These were most of the time vinyl rips at a modest quality.
Eventually, belatetly compared to more commercially minded labels (in late 2009) – we decided – after receiving many requests – to make available high quality files directly from the masters. Looking out for a suitable platform we chose ithinkmusic.com, because they seemed to offer the best deal for artists and labels. A good year and a half later however, we had to take stock and decide to either expand the download possibilities or abandon them altogether. For this reason we slightly expanded the options of purchasing Praxis, Sub/Version and related audio as downloads and in the process supporting labels and artists.
junodownload.com was added as one option as a more established platform, mainly because via juno, tracks would also become available directly via discogs.com.
in addition to this we added another independent download store via bandcamp.com which again offers some interesting other options. So from now on you can check out our digital offers through the following platforms:
http://praxisrecords.bandcamp.com/
or junodownload.com: Praxis or Sub/Version
Note: ithinkmusic has since gone under. Read more about it here.
