It's been awhile since we've given the amazing Mixposure DJs a shoutout. And they definitely deserve it. We have a fine group of true fans and supporters of independent music who volunteer to do these shows every week. And each DJ brings something special to their shows.

For those of you who remember David Joel Carter, this will be a memorial to our friend. Mike Olson and I spoke to David live, on Mixposure and were immediately amazed at what a charming, capable, and truly supportive artist he was... from years on other sites, where he was a big presence and a constant supporter of Indie artists, and to the brief time he was with us on Mixposure.com, he was there, big as life, supporting everyone with his keen insight, incredible sense of humor, and freely-given kindness. David was suggested for the Hall of Fame by Ron D. Bowes, who had known David for many years. I couldn't even begin to count how many people David had collaborated with over the years, but I do know he made wonderful music with Ricky Mancini (Rogue Fungi) and Rich Lodato to name just a few. R.I.P. DAVID JOEL CARTER...

Song Of The Month is from Mizieya and Bill B! Here is is:What Hath God Wrought (featuring Mizieya)

I know Lee hasn't been on the site as long as some of the other Hall of Famers, but from the day he started sharing music on Mixposure, he's made one helluva impact. He writes great stuff, and works with some of the best vocalists from all over the world. Lee says: "GREETINGS... and thanks for dropping by my site here on MIXPOSURE.  Out of the thousands of people here... you hit my site... thanks again... eh!

I recently find myself with lots of free time to create, record, mix, and produce (what I think) are some quality tracks.  I’ve been told I still can’t sing, so I source vocalists to lend their talents to complete my projects.  Except for the vocals…, this is all me.  I’ll be replacing the tunes every once is a while with new tunes off my releases, with a new release coming out in the fall of 2023.  I hope you enjoy my offerings and would be glad to hear from you.  Have a great time exploring all the talented person on Mixposure."

(keyboards), not to mention projects with Ron Bowes, Lorne Reid, and many others.

There has been an ongoing discussion about how to recognize and show a fair amount of acknowledgement to the many artists on Mixposure who have been with the site for at least 10 years, and who are actively involved with the artists on the site. So now we have a brand new award. The Mixposure Hall Of Fame. I asked the other DJs who they thought would be the best artist to recognize and immediately it was Rich Lodato. 

Song Of The Month for February 2025 is a brilliant collaboration from Dave "Mezzer" Meredith and Joseph Rodriguez: AngelAngel (ft Joseph Rodriguez)

Bobby G. has been making music, doing radio shows, and promoting Mixposure for a very long time. It's about time we noticed and acknowledged what he has done around here. Bobby is in the overhauls(R). Steve Perry, Bobby's songwriting partner (L)
