Category: Introductory Blog

<p>Like so many who seem to have joined this site over the last couple of weeks I am one of the bedouin members of mixposure who have been roaming the desert for 40 days and what seems to be 90 nights. Eleven more and we get a free Alladin lamp.</p><p>When mixpo crashed earlier in the year I went in search of an alternative, but to no real avail. The sense of community that mixposure had just was not in evidence elsewhere.</p><p>Pleased to say that I&#39;m feeling it in here. The fact that Dazed, Florida Music, and Rick are heavily involved in this site, and are names that I remember fondly from mixposure days probably says a lot.&nbsp; </p><p>The site has me in a bit of a tangle with so many bells and whistles. And that&#39;s compounded by the fact that our home computer is presently writing its last Will and Testament whilst taking the last rites from some guy who&#39;s just walked in wearing a cassock.</p><p>I was planning to delay my first blog until I&#39;d worked the site out completely. But 2015 is too long to wait.</p><p>Apologies to those who have contacted me, joined my page as fans, PMed me, reviewed me or even said horrible things about me in the forum. I will work it all out eventually and get back to you soon (particularly if you&#39;ve said something nasty about me in the forums).</p><p>Although my involvement has been piecemeal so far, I&#39;m getting such a good feeling from the site that I know I will be contributing more in the immediate future.</p><p>So far I&#39;ve just got the one track up. It&#39;s my Paris Hilton song &quot;What&#39;s the Attraction&quot;. Thanks to all who have listened and reviewed. I will be adding more tracks over coming days. I will be putting up a lot of stuff that mixposure people will have heard, but then again, maybe not. Plus have a few new irons in the fire. I had a really weird day in the studio last week where I</p><ul><li>finished off my collab with Rapster for a fairly epic silly song</li><li>did vocals on a collab written by Carol Douglas (for those that don&#39;t know her she will be here soon, either of her own volition or we&#39;ll organise a kidnap squad) for her daughter&#39;s wedding</li><li>did lyrics and vocals for a great funk collab with Gary Carciello called &quot;Dr Funkenstein&quot;. Gary has since added some really great guitar licks and I&#39;m hoping Doc C might get involved as well</li><li>started working up my death penalty instrumental track &quot;The Last Drop&quot;.</li></ul><p>A more diverse collection of music recorded in one day would be difficult to find. And it was all inspired by the fact that I believed I had a new home where I could share the music with people that were prepared to listen, comment, suggest. </p><p>So in my usual long winded way, I guess I&#39;m saying that it&#39;s great to be here. Wonderful to find so many familiar, friendly faces. But also wonderful to find so many others that I&#39;ve never known who are creating superb music.</p><p>I&#39;m really pleased that this site has teamed up with nexusradio.co.uk. I can understand that some of you who have been here for a while might look on us mixpo people as unwanted refugees. I think the link with nexus will smoothe the transition. I don&#39;t think anyone from mix wants to create a ghetto here. We want to get to know and support you all, because that was the credo of mixposure anyway. Forgive us if we indulge in a bit of hugging and kissing on our reunions.</p><p>Great to be here. Looking forward to a heck of a lot of fun and great music.</p>
