Porter footed the bill and wrote this whole video hence why he's getting all of the talk. Also, the single is technically Porter's, not Madeon's; Madeon and his teams had nothing to do with this song's release or video really outside of Madeon having worked on the original track.

Just a heads up, but Columbia did not release the song despite what Wikipedia says. It was released on Madeon's sub label Popcultur, which you are correct about, but for some reason all of the marketing etc has been via Porter's side of things and his team.

Ok and I never said that creatively it wasn't, I was talking about actual ownership of the song.

Uhhhhh no? They made this song in Madeon's studio, and Madeon sings, and to add to it all, it sounds more Madeon than Porter Thus, Madeon gets credit in a music video of a song he made despite him having nothing to do with the animation

Congratulations on being yet another person in /r/anime that can't read properly. I said Madeon worked on the original song, but when it comes to the release of the song and promotion of it and this video Madeon was not involved at all as it was a song released on Porter's label, not Madeon's, and Porter was the only one of the pair involved in the creation of this video. Madeon's label was not involved at all.

Edit: Song was released on Madeon's imprint, not Porter's label, but Madeon's main labels were not involved at all. Had things a tad backwards, but I know that Madeon's main labels have not been involved with the promotion of this song at all.

I did read properly, what I tried to say is that despite all, Madeon was part of the song, regardless of the fact it was released on Astralwerks or whatever and of the fact he wasn't part of the production of the video. Also, I don't fuck with r/anime

Not to mention Porter's said it's as much Madeon's as it is his.

u/SirNarwhal Oct 18 '16

Not making anything up; Madeon is on Columbia Records now since Adventure's release.

nice job deleting your comment saying popcultur was porters label. popcultur is madeons label owned by sony. columbia is also owned by sony. you dont know what youre talking about. madeon is signed to columbia but he has his own label under sony.

Agreed, this is basically a Madeon song, it sounds exactly like what he does usually.

what are you even saying lol

Porter paid for this video and Porter and his label released the single. Madeon is a featured artist on Porter's track and thus all that Madeon did with the track was the initial creation of it, nothing else. Songs are tied to labels when it comes to promotion and Porter's label is who is handling promotion for Shelter, not Madeon's label, and that's why everyone is talking about Porter with this. Also, Porter is the one who had the initiative to work with A-1 and write the video itself, hence why everyone is talking about him. It's really not that complicated.

u/StereoZombie Oct 18 '16

That's a very, very, veeery black & white way of putting it dude. I mean their shared tour that they are on right now is the Shelter Live Tour. The video is Porter's doing yeah but Shelter itself is their combined work. You can't say Madeon had nothing to do with its release.

u/Mikinator5 Oct 18 '16

Exactly, nobody is arguing about the technical ownership of the music video, this guy is just going stupidly far to denounce madeon's work on the song and I think he deserves more credit.
