Leaked: DJ Mag Internal Documents Reveal Secret Payments from Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Aly & Fila

media outlet caught accepting payola shocker! updates at 11!

although i thought the more straightforward way this was supposed to work was, artist/label buys ad space, artist/label gets coverage. actual bribes are, i guess, frowned upon.

when we put out our album here in indonesia, there was a line in the budget that basically said "payments to radio station chains x, x, x, and x, to get on air x times/day" - no one even tries to pretend it works otherwise.
