New London offices!

We made it..oh yes we did...La Cantina Productions has finally found the perfect location for our new studio/offices!

It did take a while, but from Monday 6th of Nov we'll be cooking our beats from Stroud Green Road, Islington, London. As described by Wikipedia, Stroud Green Road is "a microcosm of what London Mayor Ken Livingstone once described as "The world in one city." There can be few places with such a tension-free racial, cultural and class mix."

Sounded like the perfect home for a group of international hip hop beatmakers...

Full address will be posted on Monday once the move is complete. From then on, if you're based in London or just passing by, knock on our door...

A few important things...

So...

We know you must all be thinking "damn these guys, they tell me in June that they're posting new beats and we're now in August and still no signs of any fresh new head bangerz on their catalogues...they too high to update their website or what??"

Well, you're right (no, not regarding us being too high...!) we're just "a bit" behind schedule...and we're sorry! But man it's been a busy summer...

We're hunting for a new home/office to live and work in here in London, and thanks to a couple of dodgy estate agents things have turned out to be way more difficult than you'd usually expect...it's hard out here for a producer........

On top of that, add the fact that the hip hop scene back in Roma, Italia has taken notice of what we do (it's taken us nearly three years, but hey...things move slooooowly back at home) and we've therefore had to fly back to meet & greet all the fantastic new artists who were just dying to rhyme over our beats (not kidding...!). And that takes time. (!)

So...once we find a new home/office, things will pick up and we'll get round to uploading these lovely new beats who have now been patiently waiting on the C drives of our computers for nearly three months...

Yet again, than you for your patience...we'll get there eventually............promise!

A tough market

Ciao everyone,

Just a quick note from all of us here at LaCantinaProductions.com, it's been a while that we've been wanting to shout this out on the waves of the web...

In the last two years, the online beat market has literally exploded, with hundreds of sites popping out everywhere out of nowhere, cluttering the web and making our job much harder. We've got to a point where anyone thinks they can make beats, put up a website and make more cash than jay-z and master p put together...wish it was that easy...

I can think off the top of my head of maybe 5-6 other sites/production teams who are serious, professional and work as hard as we do on the kicks, snares and HTML coding. All the rest, an immense waste of time, space and valuable bandwidth.

Unfortunately, due to the way Mr. Google works, these garbage sites often get picked up and are among the top ten results for searches relevant to us. It's a shame, coz they make all of us look like a bunch of desperate wannabee's...

But nevertheless, rest assured that if you're one of our artists, you're in the right place. We work hard day and night (really...!) to make LaCantinaProductions.com what it is and keep it on top of the piles of garbage out there. We offer you more than the average beat website (free promotion anyone?) and are always looking into ways to give you that something extra to help you in your musical career. And of course, we love it.

So keep on making your music, and thank you for being our artists. We really, really, do appreciate it.

Optimising, optimising, optimising...

Today's been the search engine optimisation day...

We've now got a sitemap (XML and HTML) and a robots.txt file

Don't worry bout what this means...just hope that the big google now notices us a bit more, bringing us more visitors and you more beats!


As for the rest, the new beats are coming and don't forget that we're hiring !

Expanding our team...and other updates...

And yes the time has come, we're looking for new beat makers to join our team! The demand for our beats has grown so much that we now need more people to help us keep all our hundreds of artists worldwide satisfied...

We're first posting a quick message on our blog about this, and we'll soon have an official page up on our site...if interested, drop us a line on info @ lacantinaproductions.com

As for the rest, we've made some minor SEO tweaks to our site which should help our rankings and we've also expanded our Italian and French pages which should soon be up and running...


That's all for now...new beats coming your way very soon...
