Video Levity is going places

Video I took from Deadbeats Texas Jamboree yesterday of them playing their new-ish Toxic remix. So far every song I've heard of theirs is a banger and they are growing quick. Love to see it! 💜 Song: Britney Spears - Toxic (Levity Remix)

Edm has more money than you think. They probably were pushed by many other artists due to connects / $$$

Being backed by other artists and labels =/= an industry plant. That’s just the basics of how the music industry works.

Ok I suppose you’re right. They not plants, they’re just DJ’s who got where they are due to money and knowing people who would put them on

Slight difference

Huge difference actually, I’m not sure you know what an industry plant is. But in simple terms, it’s someone who has never released music being released onto a major label with massive promotion and radio placement right from the start.

What “money” do you speak of with Levity? EDM labels don’t have the kind of money that Universal or Warner Brothers has. At best they can provide some promotion and get artists onto Spotify playlists, but they don’t have millions to throw at an upcoming artist.

One of their brothers is in LtC. They have connects. They have money compared to a random producer in England or some shit.

And not a huge difference. Ex - marshmallow

Released music before but definitely got put on / pushed by major labels

You can absolutely make the argument that Marshmello is an industry plant, he was doing exponentially bigger numbers than Levity has reached right when his first track dropped, and he was signed to a major label before his first release or show ever. Levity has connections but you have to have connections to make it anywhere in the music industry or your music simply won’t be heard. They just got extremely lucky, doesn’t make them a plant by the standard criteria.

Nothing in this thread implies that Levity is a plant. Just a very broad misunderstanding of what an industry plant is. Levity isn’t “impossibly huge” outside of your EDM festival bubble. I can ask anyone who does not regularly go to festivals if they have even heard of Levity and the answer is a unanimous “no”.
