PSA Mission 021 now online at www.penrynspaceagency.com . We're all caught up now on Mixcloud! Had some great tracks sent in already for PSA 022, keep 'em coming.

Hey Bitroast, Loads of people have contacted us to say they really like Serena's voice, some have even called it sexy - that's when its her turn to get a headache With the interviews on PSA019 there certainly was more robot speak, more than usual. She does get a bit excited at times and we know we need to keep an eye on her. We'd advise sticking with the shows, if the voice is too much for you, view at http://PenrynSpaceAgency.com and you can find links to all the tracks we play unmixed, so you can investigate / buy at your leisure. Alternatively https://soundcloud.com/PenrynSpaceAgency contains monthly playlists (PSA020 coming soon...) It is our mission to promote the artists and labels that are pushing the frontiers of modern spacey electronic music. If we do meet alien lifeforms on our spacey travels and get challenged to an intergalactic sonic soundclash, we are confident of victory Cheers now!

The company that provides the service is http://www.canstream.co.uk/ we were told bandwidth is not an issue, How about, if you are listening to the next show via a stream, tweet or facebook msg the studio with quality reports and what device you are using to listen and we'll give you some Gus Honeybun bunny hops #PSA020 from December 2015 has just been uploaded to Mixcloud, but for turbo experience and full tracklist discogs and soundcloud links and the buy buttons use the player at http://PenrynSpaceAgency.com Loads of tunes from Detroit Underground and a couple from Hyperboloid Records, Pinecone Moonshine, Carpe Sonum Records and the Flywrench OST on Magical Properties From the 'colundi allentide CD' only available to the 120 colundi ravers on the night) Track 02 by Aleksi Perälä Its not often we play 2 tracks by the same artist on a show, so Valance Drakes should get a mention for the Struggle Experienced Internally LP Alice Piasenn makes a debut, you'll be hearing much more for Alice in the future We've caught up on the uploads and the last show will be up before the next broadcast A big hats off to DMGAudio who have had their own launch today - Limitless - the next generation mastering limiter - www.DMGAudio.com It was developed to help focus the PSA transmissions so they could reach more distant galaxies, but Dave found his maths also worked excellently on Earthling music. We have Dave Gamble to thank for the brains behind our new website, this is only phase one, he has to get busy making the worlds best limiter and work on the website will resume soon. If you make music yourself you need to investigate now....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioAtfsRi_SY #PSA022 27th Feb 2016 hope you can join us Krzysztof & Maf

Thanks a lot to all for your kind words, we really appreciate the feedback. The website is now live, there's still a lot of work to do, the majority of data isn't exposed yet. We'll work a bit more on mobile phone accessibility and more adaptive layouts soon. We'll also try and document how to use it and the strange functionality we've added. For example, you can now hit www.penrynspaceagency.com/play and it'll autoplay from the latest show. PSA Mission 017 is live now at penrynspaceagency.com . Please repost on Mixcloud and hit like if it's your sort of thing! Cheers me beauties.

>I explained in the previous post that you are going to make a lot more money when a unique user buys an actual album off bandcamp or wherever than from some compensation scheme Sure, but I'm explaining that I sometimes made a lot more money from the licensing longtail than from the momentary release (not jizzing) - sometimes releases never recoup, but you can still claim mechanicals and PRS! Producers often rely on multiple revenue streams - all of the above; I'm not saying it'll outweigh a Bandcamp purchase, but they're not mutually exclusive. PRS distributions are like the national lottery for UK musicians, sometimes they work out well, sometimes they don't, but we should at least attempt to provide artists with more points on their account if we can. I'm sure there's plenty of artists on our show that aren't registered and so wouldn't benefit from it at all, in those circumstances what I think you're getting at is completely valid, but 96% of the artists we play have access to a licensing system that would pay them for plays on Mixcloud, Spotify, Radionomy, etc, whether they sign up or not. I'm pretty sure I did understand the last line, thanks! I think you were still editing the prior post during and after my last reply, so the text shifted a few times making it harder to understand; if you read what I quoted you'll see what I mean. When I re-read it I think what you were saying in the second part was that there's only a handful of socially inept folk that are interested enough to listen to us bleeting on about toss, I agree about that, like I said, we'll think about a way to make everyone happy. I also got the future/past tense changes in this one and their inferences, are you my Grandfather? Actually, he'd never of been that nice, he always wanted the worst for me and thought everything I did was shit. Also, he never called me "homes" once. Still, it's all good, we're getting on shitloads better than I ever did with him (or the other for that matter), it's looking up Gramps! If you're racist to small children we'll have to reconsider, that aside, you'll definitely get a shout out on the next show. If I don't come up with some better inspiration in the next 10 minutes, maybe even a track. :) ...this isn't how the internet works is it? I meant to type 2 incomprehensible sentences really quickly, now I've wound up with all this toss. Speaking of which, we're working on the website a bit at the moment, any feedback gratefully received : http://www.penrynspaceagency.com/showinfo.php. This page hopefully autoplays through the shows now. More Bandcamp?

>The point being that marketing good, exposure worth something and that in the mainstream industry it's budgeted for and called marketing. I don't understand what you're saying here. I think you're saying marketing is a good thing, but that's completely asides the point that reposting subverts the compensation scheme. The point of marketing is to increase awareness in order to sell more product, if you get compensated for all public performance and reproduction, that's literally one of the products! There are many artists in the UK that make a living without releasing music at all - just on licensing; that's the heart of the library music scene. > But that will on love less exposure, unless it becomes an underground sensation, which won't happen, it'll just be a core of curious chaps with an interest in drunken drums and bass label owner dissing. Again, don't understand. I think what you're saying is we should stop talking to avoid these problems? Maybe I should just stop drinking and smoking through the shows.

Incidentally, the interviews were always going to be on the Mixcloud version.

Thanks man, we wouldn't mind so much if you could do it discreetly...so we don't know! Our other issue with Soundcloud is the bots and automated "fuck you's", we can get third parties kicked off their mailing lists just by sticking the show on Soundcloud. We'll try and think of a way to make us all happy!

>plus at this level of insignificance in the plays, it's more about exposure > those artists will not make money from 80 plays This isn't the case at all, read up about how PRS distributions work (especially regarding how points are derived from the census, sample and analogous data) - they're not literal, they're mainly guesses based on the info the PRS has (usually because you gave it to them!). The number of listens from any source isn't usually recorded and doesn't factor into the calculation, only that it was played and the type of outlet. So, a few small radio plays like this can disproportionately affect your share of a distribution (especially when coupled with a gig or two and a release), both formats (radio/Mixcloud) increase the percentage of distribution the artist gets independently of each other; it can be a wildly chaotic system. Most music we play is from the UK, we've known relatively small electronic producers that have had lucky moments with PRS/MCPS and that gave them the time/money to make their album. Might be an interesting interview topic for the right artist. http://www.prsformusic.com/creators/memberresources/PRSforMusicroyalties/distributions/Pages/PRSdistributionpolicy.aspx Regarding the talking, the point of not recording it was firstly because we prefer it music-only, but also so we could say whatever we liked, knowing it's mainly our mates listening. If that's not the case we'll have to tone down the banter drastically, I'll have to stop drinking/smoking and insulting drum and bass label owners, which is OK, but all points to a lot less talking. We'll have to think about it. > it's called marketing and record companies budget for this Most of what we play is from individuals, there's no record company or marketing behind them at all.

If you pirate the show you're moving it to unlicensed space, where the artists will not be compensated. Both Mixcloud and Source FM are legit platforms that pay licensing fees. There are reasons we chose those platforms above more popular choices like SoundCloud, underground electronic producers often rely on multiple revenue streams and licensed radio plays increase PRS royalties and their territorial equivalents. Nobody's ever going to get rich on PSA plays, but every little helps, the modern world can be pretty unforgiving to musicians. We don't have all the answers, but we figure that if everyone does their bit it might sustain some of our favourite artists just long enough that we get a few more classics out of them before losing them to a job where your work gets compensated properly. http://support.mixcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/157244-copyright-is-mixcloud-licensed-to-play-copyrighted-music-
