A Message From Varien

Honestly, I think Monstercat accepted too many new artists this year. I mean, new artists are good, but not in such a huge number. I think that they've went for quantity and popularity over quality recently, i mean, they have 8 Pegboard Nerds tracks in their Best Of Genres mixes in total. It isn't a Pegboard Nerds artist mix for sure, so I don't see how Monstercat let that slip by (maybe the same reason why Build The Cities is on Best Of House). I can see why Varien would be upset about this. He wasn't upset at the fans, he was upset at the staff themselves, which he made clear. And he wasn't talking about JUST his own work, he was also talking about great artists who didn't make it, such as Tut Tut Child. Sure, a public tweet isn't the best way to express your opinion about this, but I can see that Varien did at least tried to keep his frustration in check as much as he could to keep things professional (he deleted the tweet, and also admitted he lost his composure after deleting it).
