Kaskade Gets Taken Down by Soundcloud & Announces He Will Create His Own Music Platform


Earlier this week, Soundcloud has taken down 70% of Kaskade‘s music off his account due to copyright. He received 32 emails from the popular music streaming website notifying him that he didn't respect their terms and conditions.

Thanks to major labels, Soundcloud is now not only taking action on up and coming producers but also a few big artists, like Kaskade. Ultra (Kaskade's label) is now trying to bring back the music on his account. Lucky for Kaskade, someone with influence has his back, but smaller producers don't have this luxury.  

We were also struck by soundcloud's "ban-hammer" earlier this year, our first soundcloud account got taken down for publishing remixes.

Kaskade announced that he will move forward with constructing his own portal where he can share what he likes when he likes.

I think artists and labels should do the same but which good alternative do we have?

What about a new system like soundcloud?

Mixcloud is good for mixes but it still lacks a lot of functions. I'm ready to jump on any new platform...

This is pretty fucked up, and a large sign that Soundcloud has no idea what they're doing anymore.

On the topic of replacement sites, Bandcamp definitely has the potential to kill Soundcloud if they were to fuse "Artist" and "Fan" accounts and add a stream/feed page+follow button. They also don't have an upload limit, which is quite nice.
