Just a reminder, while my archive mixes push the newer ones further down the page, that the most recent mixes are available from the Current Mixes link in the sidebar.

Via Blentwell’s Quality Mix Sites, I’m delighted to see that there’s a great house music site here in Ireland run by the Bodytonic crew. More links to sidebar soon…

When I used to do Pirate Radio back in the day, unlike in a club (when you know from the crowd’s reaction), the only way you knew whether people were feeling what you’re doing, unless you actually bumped into appreciative listeners (which did happen) is if they phoned in. I guess the equivalent here is a comment to the blog post or an email. So please, please let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks.

Ok, my regular blog is here and it deals mainly with my various musings about Politics, Philosophy and, er, Ph-ootball. I originally intended to do a lot more about music at this blog but for some reason I found it a bit pointless talking about music without any actual music to listen to. Plus, I have got back into the habit of making regular dj mixes and I wanted an opportunity to share them. My first thought was to see if there was some sort of place for sharing mixes, along the lines of photo-sharing places like Flickr or video sharing places like Youtube. Alas, if such a place exists, it eludes Google. So, the next step was to look at podcast hosting, which I reckoned would be broadly similar to what I intended to do. Unfortunately, such services are aimed at talk-show-host wannabes and are more useful for smaller files - my mix mp3s are around the 100mb mark. So, I decided to take the plunge and rent out some webspace. This also gives me the opportunity to try out wordpress and perhaps I might take the opportunity to move my typepad blog over to a proper Internetcommentator.com domain.
I’m going to tinker with this for the next few days but I hope to have my first mix uploaded over the weekend.
