Definitely not e-z to remain true to who we are in this world of unceasing changes where most of the attention (and the credit that comes with) looks like being given to instant prefabricated (nu) sensations as opposed to lasting values. But thanks God, your fidelity since day 1added to the growing amount of you coming to those pages from a month to another, not to mention those who’ve decided to support us either while taking part on this adventure or becoming regular partners have tended to make us believe in the existence of a real community around our project.
Born out of a spontaneous initiative from Jean-Jerôme Lebel who designed a space to welcome what was a weekly emailed newsletter at the beginning, IDMW.Com has progressively become one of the most respected resources around the world as well a regular stopping place for those in search of an alternative as far as the coverage of the contemporary groove and what comes around are concerned. This said, and as earlier explained, independence and freedom have a cost and this cost needs finances in order to keep the whole alive. This brings us to the step 2 of our entreprise and the long awaited launch of our record shop online which is now to be a reality after months of continuous efforts with the aim to bring you the very best, not only as far as choice is concerned, but first and foremost in terms of quality of the media to avoid the bad surprise when you get the items next to your door...
Some of you might think that we’re not cheaper from anyone else (which remains to be seen), but we’re up to sell more than products. We are to offer a whole service starting from the selection of the aforementioned to their delivery, not to mention their presentation (most likely with a short comment for a better understanding) and eventually their reconditionning (media, sleeves etc.) with the aim to have you fully satisfied.
All the time, energy, attention we’ve spent along the years to try coming up to you with the very best editorially speaking are the same ingredients that you’ll be up to find while visiting our new department.
This is our fundament as well as the only way we work in order to gain your confidence, as your confidence is for us the assurance of having you as regular customers.
This step 2 about to be achieved leads us to the following one with modifications now to be brought on IDMW.Com itself with a reclassification of some of our regular columns for a better understanding as well as some internal work to get rid of a couple of redundant bugs which we’ve encountered for quite some time as far as the update process is concerned. Also expect the arrival of new names very soon to broaden our coverage spectrum not to mention the launch of new services which we’ll keep you informed about as time goes.
A new era is about to begin...
