And we gave it away for free in return for an email leading up to the release of that track. And this is when you know, this is when all the music was hot AF. So, you know, and it was a growing scene. So, we just had thousands of people like lining up to give their email address and get the music and the odd thing as well, was that that the track that we gave away for free usually did the best, which you'd think doesn't make sense, because you could just Google that track name and at the very top, there'd a link to download for free yet, somehow it's still did really well."
