http://www.mp313.com is now live!
Since mp3.com went money-mad in March, a dedicated group of [email protected] and 313TechKnow members have been working our asses off to create an alternative to the mess you presently see at mp3.com and ampcast. Our primary focus is on Detroit techno and its derivatives, with occasional drifting into other forms of electronic music. All of the mp313 artists are members of at least one of the two aforementioned communities, and have funded the effort jointly out of our own pockets. We have contributors from Australia, continental Europe, the UK and across America. We have guided the direction of the site jointly to try and provide a high content, reliable experience geared solely towards your listening pleasure. There are no fees to listen to or download the music at mp313.com, no advertisements and we make no attempt to invade your private lives. We provide lo-fi streaming m3u's for the bandwidth impaired (like myself) and hi-fi (128Kbps) mp3 downloads of all songs. FYI: you may encounter problems streaming at high bitrate with a number of people visiting the site at launch, so I strongly encourage you to *download* hi-bitrate files (or deal with buffering). The 32Kbps streams should work reliably if we're all friendly to each other in this regard. :) As an introduction to the site, I made an hour-long CD mix of some of our tracks, encoded in mp3. All of the songs are available exclusively on mp313.com. Vinyl's more fun, but how often do you hear a mix of entirely unreleased material? Here's the tracklist: WW - What If? (No Mercy Dub) Kataconda - Biological Rhythm 02 Zog - Ether 1 160 Mehall - Free Your Mind Zarathustra - Proffit Daedau - Rainy Day Phonopsia - Simplex Christian Bloch - Rest Christian Bloch - Gerontophobia Daedau - Multiple Kataconda - Biological Rhythm 12 Kevin Conrad - Rephlux Wraith - Spontaneous Combustion Phonopsia - Ape & Bone Christian Bloch - Ho Additionally, most of us have held off from promoting our own material for the last six months, and some of us are uploading new songs for the first time. You can hear the debut of a number of new songs on each artists page. Please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, feedback, etc. Our aim is to please our listeners, so our ears are wide open. Now that the site is done, you can anticipate more new songs consistently, and new mp313 mixes from mp313 artists. I will send periodic updates on new efforts and developments within our community. Until then, enjoy!
