it's been 2 year that I've been making music, I have a pretty unique style by now, but whenever I send my stuff to other musicians, they tell me: "cool, but you need to make it more commercial ... bla" well now I did and all of the sudden people started visiting my page ... strange huh ? what do you think about that?

Pongoid, exactly what type of music is it exactly that you make that doesn't use loops or repeat.
I personally thought that all dance music used the loop. The premice being that kids on the dancefloor hear a phat groove and they dance to it, and it gets into their heads and they love it.
If it plays once and is then gone, well, I wouldn't dance.
What you're describing sounds like New Age- and I like new age, Steve Roche, Mike Oldfield, Tomita, but none of this is really danceable.
To get someone into your music you need some sort of hook. Not necesarrily a simple repeated few notes, but a melody, some sort of well defined theme.
That's my bit.
I love this website, I only recently discovered it.
Peace.

It can be as nasty as you wanna be.
