Yeah, it's high time Bill Smith (Bilbozo) was inducted into the Hall of Fame. He's one helluva great musician and a consistent supporter of Mixposure.com. 

"I started playing guitar when I was 16 with a love for world music, latin and rock. I try to do something in almost every genre to be as rounded a player as I can ! I have been playing in various local bands for about 15 years. When the digital recording age came along I built a home studio and began to learn recording, Acid Looping and combining those elements together to create grooves and compositions. I have a business and a family but I continue to be a weekend warrior playing in a Classic Rock Band for fun and fuel my passion to write grooves, soundtracks, jingle bites and ambient compositions. This is my Hidden Mission !

I also want to thank Frank from Stratage Guitars for providing me the opportunity to own the finest tool for my music compositions.  Whether you are playing live or in the studio, Stratage Guitars are nothing short of amazing.  I love using my Averon Custom Shop in the studio.  It produces any tonal possibility, from sparkly clean warmth to beefy blues tones, smooth jazz sounds, right down to heavy rock grit and everything in between. Stratage produces sonic technology and innovation that re-defines a guitar players true needs, beyond expectation. Truly the most versatile guitar I have ever had the pleasure of playing To learn more about these incredible guitars and basses, visit www.stratageguitars.com"

Starting as the bass player that was good for a couple of lead vocals a set to give the singer a rest, Scott Parker (aka MidLyfe's Crisis) set about to create original songs and vibe from his studio in Middletown,, MD, USA. Having learned the drums on the kit left in the garage for years of band practice, Scott decided to learn to play some guitar, too, in order to bring his songs to life. This morphed into a bucket list item to write, produce, record, and mix a collection of songs about life. Now it is a full blown MidLyfe's Crisis...

We have been listening to Mick's music for quite some time, and it's excellent! Here's what's on his bio:

I have been involved in electronic music since the 1990's. Graduating from Amigas using OctaMed through to the brilliant Music X. Moved to the PC  and immediately got grabbed by the Yamaha XG format. I released music under the name of Xscape(UK) then. I also wrote sysex help stuff for the XG format at the time. Drifted away from XG and moved into VST tech using Sonar and later Reaper. I had a gap of a few years due to personal reasons but have now returned using the brilliant Bitwig Studio, both sequenced and with (some) live input. I still have an XG machine that also contributes stuff at times.

I hope you enjoy the music both old and new. Anything that mentions Xscape(UK) is me of old, VanDav0r is the new.

Thanks for listening.

"REMEMBER WHEN?"

July 2026, we've selected Maxmilian as Artist Of The Month, a fine songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. You can hear Maxmilian's music right here: https://mixposure.com/maxmilian/audio

I asked Ron Bowes to write something about Maxmilian. And here it is: (Thanks RonBo!)

"Maxmilian is an independent singer-songwriter from Wisconsin, who is now living in Brazil. He is an accomplished composer and musician with many cool tracks to his credit. He is also a strong supporter of Indie artists and the radio stations that share that choice of music. Max devotes time every day to showing his support to the aforementioned by posting and sharing numerous lists of artists and radio shows. If ever a musician deserves to have his support returned, it is this cool dude. Artist of the month is well deserved."

Song Of The Month for July 2026 is from Waveman, and was selected by Ron D. Bowes. The song is "Liebowitz and the Lamb," and it's a wonderful homage to the celebrated Science Fiction novel, "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (1959) You can hear the track right hereLiebowitz and the Lamb

Mike Olson (Axe) has been a part of Mixposure for a very long time, as a member of the amazing project Ariel's Attic, a solo project and as Mixposure DJ! A guitarist, keyboard player, drummer and assorted other instruments, Mike is a real creative force. For a very long time, Mike also co-hosted radio shows with me, adding "color commentary" to many evenings and provided much needed insight to how we presented our shows. Now, Mike is doing his own show on Mixposure on Friday Nights, and it's a great, great show. It's high time he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
