There was a period in the 90s when every Tom Dick and Harry seemed to be presenting someone else, although it started a lot earlier than that (Maze presents Frankie Beverley etc.)

I'm about to get to the first of these "presentation" artists in my uploads and I wondered what the site guidance is regarding them.

If DJ Fred is "presenting" or "introducing" Barney, do we just name Barney as the artist and make a record note that Barney was presented by Fred on the label, or do we give it a category as "DJ Fred presents Barney", even though Barney may then go on to do other stuff in a category of his own? :erk:

There are differing amounts of input these "presenters" and "featurers" had in records. Generally speaking, I'd keep the artist name separate, and add the "DJ Fred presents :" as the title unless they were directly involved in the recording (as opposed to just financing the release on their label).

I'm not sure whether this distinction is always so obvious. I guess we're about find out !! :smile:

I think something like that works.

As the site fills out I hope we'll find the Lists feature a good way of tying together 'Presents' or 'Remixed' records by certain artists.

i.e.

A list of Aphex Twin related remixes
A list of Dr Dre related 12"s
A list of records featuring guest appearances by L'il Kim

etc. etc.

Sonic Boom remixes should prove interesting!

Thanks for the replies, I'll do as suggested and put the "presenter" in the title.
