8tracks handcrafted Internet radio powering a new generation of DJs
8tracks is on of my favorite Internet radio sites. And, I’m not just saying that (disclosure: I’m on the Board of Advisors), because I’m down with the crew. It’s just that these cats were able to survive the major label mafia and keep their handcrafted internet radio service available to wanna-be DJs. You gotta check out some of these mixes. Definitely music you won’t hear on the radio. I’m digging this mix I posted from Aiden Bordner. Check this out and other phat mixes on 8tracks.com. Start your own radio station, tell your friends, and play all the music you probably have never heard, for as long as your ears can stand it. Anyone can become the DJ. I’ve got some joints on 8tracks as well. You can listen to my mixes on my profile here.
It was exciting to read the news this week about dance music across America. The LA Times and Detroit News both published articles that focused on the growth of dance/electronic events. Miami New Times led the story in March with an article about the Ultra Music Festival. MTV followed up, hyping the connections to pop. The last link points to last year’s NY Times article about the surge in interest in DJ training/education as the recession took hold.
On Thursday, June 3, I took a risk and went out to pitch my business plan and investor presentation at Hatch Match, a unique meet & greet put together by a group called The Hatchery. While some say The Hatchery is making money and taking advantage of the buzz around the New York start-up scene, other believe its an important and useful tool to help entrepreneurs hone their pitches to ensure they are prepared for the gauntlet.
