This is pathetic, Some so called 'DJ' wings all his tunes by adding poor placed extras with the worst E.Q and sequencing I've ever heard manages to get a release, while Legitimate DJs such as my self and alot of others who put time and money in to making a track to have it turned down whilst we struggle to hit our industries standards. This is appalling and personally i think owners and promoters of AATW should be told of his illegal activities and have his tune withdrawn.
This just proves that almost every scene has become a money whore wanting to turn out shit that hasn't had no heart or soul put in to the song, track or tune what ever you want to call it.

I've no doubt in my mind that they already know of his history and are using it to cash in on his name and also using it to corner the market of the teenage kids who listen to crap dance on their phones.

Indeed all they are seeing is the £'s. Rankin probably got a shit deal and AATW will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Let's hope that part is true, it seems like AATW is keeping it secret

so, about the song itself
don't shoot me for saying this, but for what is, it's really not awful (donky bassline happy stuff, what genre would you even call it? scouse house?). I wonder how much rankin actually took part in the creation of the track?

mart887: if he was selling the 'tracks', then there should be no problem to do that. Also, he was mostly active with that when he was underaged.
But alas, Rankin himself haven't sold any tracks on places there he could get caught.
Anyways, it's a known fact that popularity sells. Heck, just look at Paris Hilton

Firstly yes this is all true and confirmed by Steve Kelly at AATW on their forum:
http://forum.aatwc.com/showthread.php?t=16740
The track has been signed but whether it will be released as a single or appear on a compilation are unclear at the moment.
AATW have been aware of rankin for as long as anyone and when the track was offered to them by Sean Mack (Chill FM) and George Bowie (Forth FM) who are Rankin's producers, AATW signed it not on the basis of the track being good, but on the basis of Rankin's name having a large following due to his rampant plagarism.
AATW make no excuses for themselves and have signed this track purely on the basis that Rankin's name might make them some money. At least they are honest I suppose.
Rankin had no creative input whatsoever in the making of this track and was not even present during it's production.
Lots more juicy tidbits (not to mention a whole range of excuses and justifications from the AATW people) can be read on that thread linked earlier.
Might I suggest anyone who feels strongly about this firstly make their opinions known to AATW here:
http://www.aatw.com/contact.php
Also anyone who thinks Rankin should get a taste of his own medicine: keep watching the skies for the Rankin Remix Project.

So Rankin has now effectively become the Milli Vanilli of the techno music.
