please no MC on Rinse FM

[fractal]

plenty of other stations that DONT have mc's to choose from...

Know any?

dubstep.fm for one...

[vindian]

for me there's more to it than just the music, the minds behind the decks are legends and MC/host elements can really bridge the gap. How else can you get into the personalities of these guys and get a little closer to understanding why the tracks are the way they are? for someone that lives so fkn far away from the 'scene' in London, it's a serious treat to hear that culture rolling across the airwaves. crazy ups to each & every host on Rinse, keep it dope

dubstep.fm for one... i basically have a no-mc policy....

really? your show, or the whole station? i gotta tell you dude, that sounds booooring lol..


i mean, of course somebody on the mic CAN be obnoxious for a million different reasons... but usually its mad fun imo.. seems like a distinct difference between some internet stuff and a real pirate...

anyways, your station, your niche, more power to you dude... idgi tho

for the whole station... ive watched the stats before when i would allow mc's and i would watch as 100+ listeners disconnect...

i didnt say that i didnt allow mic usage... the djs are allowed to give shouts, tune id's, station id's etc... just as long as its not too excessive....

from what i have noticed over the last 3 years... people want to hear the tunes, not someone blabbing over them, and ive seen the stats to back that up.

i have allowed mc's in the past. just to give those listeners that might like mcs something to listen to.. but thats always accompanied by numerous emails complaining about the mc ruining great tunes...

having an mc in at a club night is fine with me.. but thats where it should stay... it doesnt quite work well when the mc is screaming and shouting trying to build the hype when the listeners of the station are sitting in their office chairs or dorm rooms or bedrooms... it just comes across as annoying and ruins the experience for many people.

i do understand that it might be a little bit different for rinse as they are also broadcasting via FM.. but even then... cruising around town with that shit cranked and then some mc starts blabbing would just ruin the experience for me entirely... ive tried to listen to rinse in several occasions and i do agree that the tunes they drop are amazing... but i cant fully enjoy them because of the mc's... and alot of the time the mcs are just blabbing about nothing..

anyways.... if your into the mc's, awesome.. rinse it up... if your not... listen to something else!

you can mention them... just dont advertise other shows in there...

thats not an unreasonable request...


it would be like mcdonalds advertising for burger king inside their stores...

This is true i must say my favorite mc/host is defo Ntype(is he even an mc ??)he is funny as fuck, and im even starting to use his terms with my friends, makes for mor interesting conversations" yo bruv thats a par" leaving them puzzled til i explain the many uses of 'par'.

shit! now i remember wanting to mc at 18 years old until i realized it takes alot of hard work ans skill and the djs get more poon

[knivez]

sometimes they ruin it but for the most part i enjoy them. i just dont like when they are spittin nonstop with out letting tunes breathe like someone had mentioned earlier

I must say I listened to dubstep.fm a few times and thought it was fairly poor... quite boring and generally average music. Rinse is no.1 for a reason. Good DJs, Good music, Good MCs.

no.1 is your opinion....

but there is a reason why dubstep.fm has more online listeners than any other dubstep internet station =]

No, Rinse is n°1 without a doubt:
+ broadcasts from London, the craddle of dubstep.
+ regular shows with some of the best producers in the scene: Distance, Skream & Benga, Hessle Audio crew, Anti-Social entertainment, N-type, ... the list goes on & on
+ it's like a real radiostation

not dissing but rinse is a step up from sub.fm & dubstep.fm

[dopelabs]

i agree that yes they may have more top dubstep djs... and have been established for much longer than sub or dubstep.fm... but when it comes right down to the sheer numbers of online listeners.. there is no opinion about it.. the cold hard fact is that dubstep.fm has more listeners... the stats dont lie =]

O it's so on... Rinse for life! though.

any stats? otherwise i beg to differ

[dopelabs]

here are the server status pages.. you can do the math yourself

Dubstep.fm:

http://relay1.dubstep.fm:8000/
http://relay2.dubstep.fm/
http://relay2.dubstep.fm:8030
http://relay2.dubstep.fm:8050

Sub.fm

http://72.233.84.175:8529
http://92.48.107.38:8529
http://92.48.107.38:6324
http://92.48.107.38:3344

Rinse.fm

they dont publish their listener stats (prob for a reason) ... but if someone would kindly ask them to make that information public (directly from their streaming server info page) i will put $50 up right now that says that its even less than sub.fm

[dopelabs]

anyways... lets stay on topic... rinse, mc's, etc

[webstarr]

As you don't know how many FM listeners Rinse has you can't qualify that

Without Rinse fm you, your station and this forum probably wouldn't be here. Such is their importance in nurturing underground music and culture across many genres.

Their reach and impact isn't quantifiable in stats mate, but enjoy yours all the same.
