i dont find Bandcamp and Soundcloud very good for stumbling across new music, someone has to put a link in front of you.

Bandcamp doesn't work like that but Soundcloud definitely is. I love my Soundcloud feed.

I wonder if Bandcamp and Soundcloud not existing or not really being that well known during 8bc's heyday 2007 - 2009 helped contribute to the number of tunes uploaded there?

I don't think so. It's all about the circle jerk.

And who is it targetting exactly?

Nostalgic retards with a ridiculous attachment to a brand.

A SAM is not an Amiga either. Neither is the Elbox, the AmigaOne, etc etc etc.
The Amiga died in 1994 or 1995. Anything after the A4000T, is bullshit. People should let it rest in peace.

Just like when we "cyber."

Now, you shouldn't be talking about our private life in public, Shiftey.

I live in SE London, and travel up north every few weeks for shows because those guys promote their stuff so damn well! It's always right in my face! Splattered all over the internet. Can't miss it. Even when they wondered down here a few weeks back .So promoted! So organised! Not just promoted by the artists, but by a central body, so you don't need to be subscribed to the specific artists.

What guys are you talking about? I don't understand.

Also: this is an 'underground' movement and as such will not enjoy the exposure of more commercial shit I suppose.

WIll the order of play be as listed on the flyer, (Matt first JDDE3J headlining?)

I don't know the order of play yet but JDDJ3J is indeed headlining. I'll post it when I know it.

EDIT: Bit Shifter and I were typing at the same time and having exactly the same thoughts big_smile

This shit is so bad it shouldn't even be linked to. I hope they don';t sell a single one and they go bust quickly.

I just think the new "app" trend is a bit silly. It's often just a buzzword used to make stuff sound more interesting.

I have to agree, Chrome is silly with this shit, making bookmarks and calling them apps... But it makes sense in their business model and Chromebooks.

WHY WHY WHY was this stuff not shoved in my face on facebook? D: BLAH. Please advertise MOAR AND HARDER. I would have been shaking my ass at so many events if i'd known... /edit

The world doesn't revolve around Facebook.
Events are usually posted in Resident Advisor and other similar websites that host events.
Forums like this get the news.
There's flyers and posters spread around the city usually when events like this happen.
Artists spread the news about their gigs on their Facebooks,Twitters, Myspaces, Websites and whatnot.

This event has been promoted in all these ways and has been organized real fast. It is indeed KIND OF short notice but not THAT short, there's still TWO more full weeks (and one day) ahead of us before it happens.

So all the 'problems' you seem to have appear to be only of your fabrication.

Now, to come here and talk to a scene stalwart like gwEm questioning his promotion methods in the tone you did is downright cheeky, sorry. You shouldn't have done that.

6op it totally possible but I don't have a 6op synth, all mine are 4op, Something for the future....

Yeah man forget what I said, all I have is 4op too, so that should do it.
Thanks big_smile

Now with added FLYER.
And Facebook event. Please JOIN!

There is the one thing that puzzles me the most about FM and I'd like to learn: those bloody flowcharts of how the synthesis patch is wired up. Can you cover that? With the more operators the better, as 4op is rather simple.

What about Metrosexualbleep Rec? tongue
