Since our little social gathering here in Boston has been catering to dubstep in addition to UKG and the assorted variants, I had planned on offering space as well, but since the offer is already posted it makes sense to have 1 central location and a mirror?. I was certain that this had already existed and never bothered posting anything up. ( besides the fact that I lack the technical savvy to actually make it happen- a far cry from when I ran a BBS in the early c64, Amiga, and Console days- I'm still into modding consoles)
I would certainly love play out your tunes at our monthly gathering (OPERATION UNDERGROUND @ MERGE) as well has help catalog and host tracks so that they could be accessible to the people you wnat to share them with. I already have the space via a web hosting. My thought was an FTP server that you would be able to send tunes to directly and you can link to that when sharing the files? Kind of like Xbins AKA "the usual places" for those of you familiar with the Xbox modding scene.
Producers, techies and those of us with space (or few extra coins in the stash to support an effort of this type) should spearhead this, again NOT to take anything away from this mecca of Dubstep culture but to enhance it. One of the best aspects of this scene ( i really don't like using that word) is the fact that it has become a OPEN PLATFORM, which is unlike other styles of music where its strictly crafted for Pressed releases. Peeps are sharing their original works while pressing only releases continue to maintain their market value as well.
In any case my point is to try to extend one hand to contribute while I have my other hand out "asking" to be used as an outlet to promote your works during our event (which like so many others is NOT for profit, but for the love of the music and a good time out). all while not stepping on toes or being a burden. Karma?, quid pro quo? you get the point I'm sure.
If you have things to share by all means hit me up at:
jamtwo@bostown.com or send me a link. our weekly event called "MERGE" happens every friday, and on the first Friday of every month I host OPERATION UNDERGROUND @ MERGE which spotlights Dubstep, Grime, UKG and the rest. I'll post the full event info in the proper forum room.
Peace
), and it just started to get to me how shit some of these free upload places are. You've got to put up with all the ads, and most of the time the links don't work for very long...
