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...

In London, UK!

We've made it.....we've made the move to London, UK successfully. It took us a bit longer than expected, but Stone Tone and I are finally here and we're going to be working full time from our brand new UK office. Our headquarters are still in Rome, Italy, but with the two of us here, we can now serve all our artists much better, as London IS the European music capital! So look out for some new cool updates coming along your way....

As for the rest, we've made our first press appearance on Fat Controlller, the UK's national student magazine. The article was very well received and we're looking forward to spreading the word about La Cantina Productions in the UK.

And on a separate final note, we're loving 1st Infantry and the Alchemist here....so go out and buy it!

Ai!

New beats and deejay!

A few updates for everyone....

We've got new beats up and running on our catalogue.....so get downloading!

We've also found one of the best deejays out there to scratch over your tracks.....we'll soon be releasing his name and talents on our website.....

And on a final note, profits have been great in the last two months....so this means more beats and cool services for you guys! We're currently re-investing everything we earn...so the more you buy, the more we grow with you and for you...!

Navigation Updates

Finally got round to organising our links section. Much easier to navigate now that it's in a directory format.

Our Music Services page has also been re-organised for better viewing.

Major Web Updates

Some heavy web updates are under way...be prepared for cleaner and clearer navigation and richer content!

Loads of new beats on their way too...

Definitely back for good....

ah yes, we've made it back from the domain name jungle and are back on the scene........damn it was stressfull, but we've survived.....!

So, be prepared for some massive updates and changes in the next few months as we take our website to the next level..........more producers, a new and better design, and way more beats for you to choose from.....

We're also getting nostalgic, and are going to consequently start spreading the word a lot more back at home in Italy...we're they're in desperate need of quality beats! So don't worry if you see some Italian on our pages......we're simply trying to make life easier for our visitors from there...!

On a final note....listen to Tupac's new album. I know the last 8 (!) have been crap....but I have to say that having Eminem take care of the production and rhyming gives pac's verses a more contemporary vibe. Not that Eminem is a production genius (far from it...) but he nevertheless makes Tupac sound less out of date....like the old Death Row beats used to.....

Back for good

We've been up now for about a week and there have been no major issues...

Just give us a few days to straighten out some bureaucratic stuff with our webhost and we'll be back up and running exactly like before (uploading beats and sending newsletters)! And as promised...everyone on our mailing list will be entitled to a free beat!


ai!

LaCantinaProductions.com Staff

We're finally back!!!!!!!!!

We're finally back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head over to www.LaCantinaProductions.com !!!!!!!

More info on what happened to appear soon....

Days 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12

Nothing's changed and MSN has noticed our absence...not good...

Apparently "they're working on it" according to our webhost...but it's been 12 days now that our site has been down. Our staff is currently assessing what options we have at this stage.

Keep on checking back for more updates, we'll probably send out a newsletter soon to everyone.

Day 6 and 7

Still down and no updates......and the number of beats waiting to get posted on the catalogue is growing every day!! Damn....

Anyways, just heard a chinese guy (forgot his name) rapping in english (sounded a bit like Eminem) and produced by Wyclef......hmmm, star of the future?

Day 4 and 5

Our webhost support technicians got back to us and told us a bit more. They're trying their best to get our domain out of the old registar who went bust and into the new one. Hopefully it should be released soon...

Keep on keeping your fingers crossed for us!

Day 3

Some friendly people have told us what is going on but, still no idea of how long it's going to take to get us back up and running.

Our webhost still hasn't got back to us

In contrast to what we said yesterday, 50cent and the game seem to have become friends again.....the rap biz.....

New visitors welcome!

Welcome to everyone who has ended up here from our various ads on the web!

We really do sell beats and promotion for $9.99 and we really are La Cantina Productions! Unfortunately our registrar has gone bust and our web host is working with a new registrar to resolve the issue. In simple words, this has made our website go down and we don't know when we'll be back.

We currently have some beats on http://www.soundclick.com/bands/1/lacantinabeatsmusic.htm and we will be uploading new ones if our web situation gets any worse.

Keep checking back and we guarantee that we will be back ASAP! Feel free to post comments on this blog or drop us an email at lcp_business@yahoo.it.

Anyone who gets in touch with us is in entitled to a FREE beat...! ;-)

Thank you!
La Cantina Productions Team

Day 2

Still no updates from our webhost

To get our minds on something else....apparently 50cent's been having a little bit of a brawl with em, dre and the game! I wonder what they did to piss him off (or viceversa)? Just hope he realises that if it wasn't for em and dre, g-unit wouldn't exist...

We've heard much better emcees than g-unit among our customers!
