Music Scene Groups Classification

[GabryJ84]

This topic is meant to help to discriminate between real scene release groups and fake or home-made groups and releases, so that everyone can benefit while re-ordering archives, or serarching for new music.

Feel free to comment and suggest what section the uncategorised ones should be put into or if there are other groups to add to the list.

Fake/Home Made Music Groups

149 (daniele149, personal rel), C4A (320k, personal rel), Dang3 (personal rel), DAW (Dj@Work ones), DDJ (DaniDj, personal rel), funteek (eurofunteek), GJ (personal rel), hopsis (eurofunteek), HRB (herbie, music4ever staff), M4E (music4ever), M4ECMD (music4ever), MiM (#mp3italiamix ones) NiC (personal rel), PRY022 (personal rel), SiMi (personal rel), SKN (320k, personal rel), ZgbK (personal rel).

BWA/BWA_INT: many releases (especially Vinyl ones) are just fake BWA_INT re-tags of official releases. Each release varies, so best if suspicion is present, better to check with ssrdb trying to rebuild official release with same name. If successful BWA_INT 100% fake. Another clue of fake release is the absence of Ascii Art in the nfo and the tag "You like this? You buy!". It is unclear how many releases are affected by this forgery and since how long (2005 and on?). Releases with Ascii Art should be 100% original.

what do you mean with your post?

[littleboy]

Web[W]/P2P[P]/IRC Groups

DGN, iFF.

Both are/were scene groups.

BLiZZARD, CMG, JUSTiFY, VOiCE, YSP, ... are also scene groups.

Your list contains the same group multiple times (i.e. FIH and FIH_INT, gnvr and gnvr_INT). As per (mp3) scene rule 3.4:

3.4. The directory name of an INTERNAL release must end with _INT.
Example: Someone_Something-2007-GROUP_INT

[avarage]

your list is bullshit =)

[GabryJ84]

your list is bullshit =)

I know, that's why I asked advice from everyone, to try to sort things up.

[xNxRxGx]

i know you could do better tho, cmon man
(hard)trance classics like

1REAL uncategorized seriously? and 2DB, DOC, gEm, GTA, iPZ, JiM, MNS, MTC, SSR, Tclub, tronik, TSP, USF, UTZ, VMC, XDS etc

and many many more

Uncategorised means that they are present in my collection but I don't know if they are real or not. Since this is a topic on a forum I'd rather not give false informations, so I am asking for advice to help sort things out.

[martins1982]

I think it is very difficult to distinguish scene group from P2P group, because some DB like "predb.me" collect p2p releases too.
I have no knowledge that there is an "official" list of scene groups.
I think we can only speculate.

So maybe we can maybe just separate what is official from what is fake or home-made?
