SoundCloud should let two creators/ creator & labels to collab post a track just like how instagram does. It expands reach and exposure, and sometimes you don’t want to post a track twice taking away from a label, but want it showing up on your page too. What do you all think?

I’ve watched too many talented artists burn out for the wrong reasons.

Not because the music wasn’t there.

Because the system around the music was never built for them.

Somewhere along the way, independent artists were sold a single answer:

- Post more.
- Stay visible.
- Feed the algorithm.

Turn every studio session, every show, every quiet thought into content.

So now the modern artist has to be a musician, a marketer, an editor, a strategist, and a full-time algorithm analyst.

Somewhere underneath all of that,
they still try to make something that actually matters.

I’ve lived inside that tension.

As Eloquin, I’ve released across UKG, bass and underground scenes.

Played festivals.

Worked with labels.

Built campaigns.

And the thing I keep coming back to is this:

𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.

Music careers don’t get built by attention alone.

They get built by trust.

By repeat listeners.

By people who show up.

By scenes that carry a sound forward long after the algorithm has moved on.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝗽.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲.

That’s why I’m building @nektalabs

A network built around how artists and scenes actually connect, not how platforms want them to perform.

Promoters, managers, label folks, artists - where do you see people losing the most time to things that don’t move the needle?

[eloquin @eloquinuk]

I’ve spent 10 years of my life making music.

Immersing myself in all aspects of the industry -
Producing, Performing, Promoting - practically living in it.

As an artist, I’ve released music as Eloquin spanning from UKG, House to Drum & Bass + Dubstep.

I’ve played festivals including Glastonbury, Boomtown, El Dorado, Nass, Sundown and Gemfest.

I’ve run labels.
Built campaigns.
Worked with artists.

Watched scenes grow from nothing but sound, energy, trust and community.

And the deeper I got into music, the more obvious one thing became:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧.

Artists are told to build audiences, but not communities.

Fans are treated like data, not people.

Platforms reward attention, not connection.

And music is increasingly being shaped around what performs online, instead of what moves people in real life.

That never sat right with me.

Because music was never meant to be just content.
It was meant to gather people.

To create identity. To build scenes.
To make strangers feel like they belong to the same thing.

That’s why I’m building Nekta.

A community-first music network for artists, fans and scenes.

- No engagement traps.
- No algorithm to game.
- No pressure to perform for visibility.

Just artists, fans, and the culture that connects them.

I’ll be using this page to share what I’m learning at the intersection of music, culture, technology and community.

If you’re building in music, creative technology, independent scenes or artist infrastructure - I’d love to connect.

The future of music is not more noise. It’s deeper connection.

about 70% of all my festival booking requests for next year so far have been for b2b sets, possibly one of the worst recession indicators to me personally so far. enough

[eloquin @eloquinuk]

I think there is something to be said in generative sample creation. For example, splice has an awful search function when you search for ‘woman who shouts killa sound’ or something, it doesn’t know how to search for that. If you want a small individual samples I think it can be a useful tool but for whole song hooks it’s lazy

So for the past 2 years I haven’t been getting @SoundCloud royalties because I hadn’t signed up for the artist verification, I was getting roughly $20 a month and that was before I had as many followers as I do now, what does that mean for all of the plays that I’ve accrued since then? If anyone has had this issue let me know I’d be interested to find out

@northernroadUS Mate wtf send me this

I hope I'm wrong.

But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.

Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.

I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.

But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.

Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.

But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.

I hope I'm wrong.

[eloquin @eloquinuk]

Whatever your views, he was open to debate and was a really sincere and authentic person. Real loss. Anyone that celebrates death is sick @charliekirk11

@hosun_chung Part of the reason the nightlife industry is struggling in the U.K. is due to everyone being broke and venues can’t afford to keep the lights on.

Elon Musk just vowed to save the UK.

• UK energy bills rose 60% in 3 years
• 30% of families struggle to afford power

But Tesla just entered the market.

Now, every greedy energy giant has Musk to deal with.

Here's Musk's plan to save the UK citizens:
