Sarah Sarah Sarah, where do we start with this....?

Let's jump in a little time capsule back to 2007/2008. The dance music industry was going through seismic change as digital formats came to the fore and vinyl single sales (the dance industry's staple) fell off a cliff. Coupled with illegal downloading, all of a sudden, the money had dried up for labels and they urgently needed to monetise.

At the same time, club culture was pivoting from weekly/monthly nights to festivals - and this combined with low (zero) cost of releasing huge volumes of music from new artists presented the opportunity to claw back the lost record sales money.

Every week saw a new specialist download store open - including mixmag's own. Mixmag itself was owned at the time by Development Hell, who were part of The Guardian.

Low cost of production (by this point you didn't need a studio to be a producer, it was easy to do it all on a laptop, so Sarah's "I made the track in the bedroom" is far from exceptional - it was standard) meant that labels no longer had to carry risk in releasing music - no pressing vinyl, label artwork etc. Advances became a thing of the past, and festival organisers cottoned on to the idea of record labels and magazines like mixmag hosting arenas.

The labels therefore signed anyone and everyone, knowing a couple would make it (bear in mind the labels were typically offshoots of big labels like Sony, Polydor etc etc but kept "indy" for credibility) but the rest would be the unpaid support acts in these festival arenas to fill a lineup. Sarah Akwisombe even refers to a festival gig of 4 drunk Scottish men. Case in point. She was a filler act. Some in the industry cruelly called it "the sausage factory" - tit meat went in, a couple of bangers came out.

Why the mixmag cover? It was STANDARD that if a record label (in this instance XL Recordings / Locked On) took out a load of ads, they'd be rewarded with a cover slot for the artists in question - which in turn grew interest in the acts to drive MP3 sales in the magazine's own download store.....

Sarah / Goldielocks was just there at this moment in time, when strange deals were being done as an industry tried to adapt to a new digital world. She never got further, she wasn't on the cover out of editorial interest, she was a backfill artist from the label to bulk out the cover shot and have another girl there with Little Boots, as part of a standard commercial deal.

Sorry - a long post with a lot of incidental but important info there!

In short - she was on the cover because it was paid for. Not talent or anything else.

I worked on the fringes of the industry during this time and your description of what is actually going on here is 💯 accurate.

Quick everyone. Her printed to order playing cards are limited! So buy NOW 🙄 limited . You can just print some more which she will do IF anyone buys them.

The stories on boss magic are cringe. What happened to not being the face of it. And she’s using the baby too

Desperation. She knows she's staring down the barrel of financial ruin. All her own fault and I can't say I feel a shred of sympathy.

Who is Panic the mother and what is her connection with Sarah?

She was a ‘client’ of Lewy’s brother Rhys. He threatened her when she wanted to stop being coached by him. I think she signed up in advance for a year. Luckily she lives in Ibiza so unlikely he’ll actually go round her house.

No shame she is still advertising her whitchie shite like nothing has happened!! I think she is waiting for this to blow over or she thinks it will

Went on the Champions of minds insta and there is a comment under one of the posts, this guy is saying that the brothers tried to threaten him and his family because he wanted to stop and he is taking them to the small claims court. But it seems like the brothers are deleting all comments

Bullshitting as usual - BossTragic apparently was her distraction from the 2020 madness. Apparently the cards were helping her so much she decided to make some of her own. That’s not true, she tried to launch business tarot card last year.

Also “you’ll be working through your life questions within minutes” - really?!?!?

Why would she highlight to her followers that there’s a news article out about her? She’s pointing them in the direction of news that reflects very badly about her! I know she’s trying to make out it’s something good, getting called ‘glossy’ etc but imagine being her follower, seeing that and thinking ‘ooh I’ll look out for that article’ and reading about her tit show scam life...!!!

It’s exactly how we all ended up here, I never knew about tattle before she mentioned it on stories.

She’s not that bright

Reading the Metro article I wondered how this is going to impact Jen, as surely everyone’s going to be googling away then seeing it’s a joint venture.

Funny you should say that - I was wondering if she’d start something health beauty related next, with Jem, the nail lady and Lo...

She did beauty before and fu*ked it up so unlikely, but she doesn’t seem to learn from her mistakes so anything is possible!
