We quickly caught up with Jesse Ferguson at Definitive Jux and asked 3 internet-related questions. Bonus Q&A below.

How important is the digital side of things for Definitive Jux?

Digital is incredibly important to us, we’ve tried to position ourselves on the front end of digital trends. It’s an important revenue source for us, and growing all the time.

What would be the ultimate online services to promote/sell music?

No overhead, no middle man, direct transaction between artist/label and fan.

Where do you see this whole internet going in the future?

I see the whole internet moving away from the whole vacuum tube and telephone cord thing, and becoming more like in the ether. You know, out there, in the world, like a web that covers the whole wide world, like internets that are a whole world wide web. And we want to be able to sell music to all of them.
