Electronic Music in all it’s styles Techno House Music or regardless of the style may just be has been equipped to handle the changes from Analog sales to mp3 downloads downloads. Electronic Music, the genre and a movement that prides it’s self on survival without huge Record offers, videos and posh concert tours, can it survive the digital slump in music sales?

It’s no secret today’s music lovers have a myriad of ways to get music. Lawful and unlawful downloading of music is prevalent in today’s society, while some prefer the physical copy of their favorite tunes through an independent record shop or mass merchant. From a near monopoly of music gross sales revenue, to the present competition with music downloading sites, the music retail business has weathered a tremendous storm, but calm seas might lie ahead.

“A lot of people were predicting in the late 90s and 2000s there would me no more mom and pop shops left but some still remain and people still love their hard goods over mp3 downloads.

The reason most individuals thought music retail was dead was due to illegal downloading. Legislation against unlawful downloading of any intellectual property has had a positive effect in Sweden, New Zealand, South Korea, France and Ireland, giving you a rise in previous year’s physical business, he said. Unlawful downloading hurts everyone, and it can’t be justified by any means, Fratt added.

“It’s unlawful action. It’s destroying the music business. It’s destroying jobs. It’s destroying artists’ careers. “It’s merchants, it’s people who work in pressing plants, it’s people who work at lawful digital download sites, it’s individuals who work for art press companies who make the album jackets, it’s people who work for graphics businesses who make graphics to accompany digital downloads.” So know put all that in one big pie can Electronic Music Artists, Producers and labels survive the storm?
