Online Deep House Music Recommendation

von | Nov 15, 2006 | Blog, Digital Culture

It’s been a while, since I last recommended an online music offer, but this time it is well deserved. I have been listening to this excellent station via iTunes a lot, but the last couple of weeks it’s not accessible through iTunes any longer, for whatever reason. I didn’t bother because I thought this „temporary“ problem would resolve itself soon. Well it didn’t until today, so I googled for their website with a live stream instead: the DI.fm House channel

The House channel is operated by a loose collection of New York City-based DJs, producers and musicians, coordinated by house music veteran DJ Jolene.

Our silky vibe is a direct result of our participation in the NYC house music community. The programming is compiled from rare cuts, yet-to-be-distributed promo vinyl, original studio work, selected DJ mixes, live DJ sets and discriminating trips to NYC record stores.

To us, „deep“ means a feel that is rooted in the origins of house music, when talented vocalists, innovative sampling, and dynamic song arrangements play a strong role in each track. Today, producers incorporate live musicians, soulful vocal arrangements and thick danceable rhythms to create the deep sound we feature here.

Enjoy!

Yahoo!’s Time Capsule

von | Okt 10, 2006 | Blog, Digital Culture, SEO / SEA

Yahoo! has launched a time capsule:

Yahoo today announced the launch of what is expected to be the world’s largest time capsule in history. Starting today, Yahoo! is encouraging people from around the world to contribute personal photos, stories, thoughts, ideas, poems, prayers, home movies, music and art to an online anthropology project designed to celebrate and understand life and global culture in 2006. Content from the time capsule will be broadcast directly onto the 216-foot tall Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan and sent into space through a light beam from the historic monument.

Sounds great, let’s participate…
