Easy Listening to: Anita Baker – Anita Baker Love Mix (DMC)

As you could have seen: the weblog has lack of updates the last few days.
Caused by 2 things: Work and my other hobby: Mixfreaks
There were some issues regarding the mixfreaks and services we use ‘as-is’..
This caused me to install opennap and some other things on my own linux server at home. At work it’s more busier than ever..

Keep tuned I will try to update the weblog..

Some DJ’s have started to mix already. Who’s next?

I’ve started another weblog: Mixfreaks Weblog

Everything about: MIX, REMIX, 12″ etc..
Input? thanks will be appreciated ..

Dutch national radio sucks; especially in the morning.

As a huge remix/mix fan we listen to mixes / combi-mixes / 12″s at the radio.
Our beloved (?) DJ Rob Stenders has a ‘combi-mix’ item with DJ ARNO
I think that sucks!

After playing todays messy remix the following comments were made:
‘Arno, you had warned us that it sounds ugly sometimes …… ‘
yeah, said arno, it’s a remix, he …

With this he states that he is not able to mix a nice combimix what is sounding awesome!

That sucks! Cause why are you using your name for crap? And why is crap broadcasted anyway?

Because you are a friend of the DJ? Is there no quality involved?.
So crap is allowed. Is this what I am paying my taxes for? (Dutch public radio is financed by the dutch tax payers).

It’s a shame cause a lot of remixers are out here doing 100 times a better job!

Holger is mixing in the style of Oliver Momm. An awesome music mix of 37 songs with only music from the 80’s .. download the mix, listen to it and give some feedback.

So here we present you: The Mixfreaks Member Megamix:

TASE-Mix Vol. 2 – The Experiments Of The 80´th Megamix
192 kbps (56 MB / 192 kbps – 44.1 KHz Stereo)

Check also the yearmix 2002 page it’s almost updated daily with new announcements about DJ’s creating a 2002 yearmix

A “dutch” tradition is to create a 1 hour music-mix at the end of the year with only music released in that year. National and local radio-stations request a mixer (hobby / professional mixer) to create a music mix of the best records of that year.

@ mixfreaks.nl they started to collect a list with the yearmixes for 2002
If you are a mixer and you will create a yearmix 2002 (only year 2002 records used) you can send an e-mail to be added to the list.

Think about web-hits, exposure and information requests and of course: people will know your name!

Is Britney a lesbian?

This weeks Mixfreaks Mix highlighted is the Mega RE-Mix of U2 made by Ronald Kuipers.

29 songs in 30 minutes. With intro and outtro.

Songs like: Desire, Elevation, Zooropa, Night and Day, New York, MLK, Discotheque etc. etc.

A great great megamix for those who love U2 and remixes.

Interesting in more mixes? remixes? and people talking about that kind of stuff:
Mixfreaks. Join that party.

update: The U2 Weblog made an entry for this mix. Kewl !
