Awesome!! Mockradar on its first flyer!! But why does it say usa? At least usa/france

[Mina]

@Cheomap : the 2 founders are from USA, everything from the label is in English, I considered quoting "USA" was relevant, as it's used to quote a country after the name of the label. If I would have quote France, they would ask who is it, and if they come to be in touch with you, it's clear you're american, and not French. Would you quote "France" if it would be for you? For me, MockRadar is american, but if you want now I quote USA/France, I will do it. Does it mean any one from other country will quote USA/France on his flyer too? Or USA/Germany if he's German? It's a good question.
Now, and it's my personal opinion, I think the reason why I have done this, saying "MockRadar USA" when they come to ask me : it's been 8 years now I'm a pro VJ in France, and I NEVER had been in touch with any label wanting me to be "in". This is my way to say "you never proposed me any collaboration or ever considered my work to be worthit for you, I went somewhere else, and I'm very happy with it".

I just use MockRadar. Without any information about a country.

[Cheomap]

Well that makes sense about the origins, but half of mockradar "home base" is running out of france.. So yeah we are from the US, we are collabing from two locations...
& you were there from the beginning too, so you've always represented France. Your influence was present durring the creation of all this. I'm sure synthetikawesomeNeofrenchguy would agree ;)

MockRadar is WorldWide. We have a Euro Branch and some American offices, with artist's and activators in countries spanning the globe.

OK, I am going to have a gig (5.5.2012) and I would like to use only MockRadar or should it be MockRadar USA? Tell me. We are going to have MockRadar on its second flyer.

Honestly I think this is a matter of preference, I personally think listing just MockRadar is legit. Since we are a country spanning collective. This is how I would represent if I were playing.

OK. :)
