Term for when an
electronic music producer / or musician in general releases a tune on their own digital label that no-one buys, listens too or gives a s*** about just so they can say they have a release. This can be accidental if this only happens with one release. If however they release scores of tunes in this way they are clearly either:
(i) Trying to counterfeit reputation ie. trying to mislead people of their true standing
in the game to get bookings / further releases
(ii) Trying to be counterfeit status among their
contemporaries(iii) Tragically deluded.
