a lil add here and a lil add there

Feb 3rd, 2014; 3:44 pm (GMT+8) 0
if you guys didn't notice, i added small changes here and there throughout the site for the past few weeks. i even experimented on new posting ways. On the remixes side of things, i experimented on the Lorde - Royal mix (minus the animated gif). I was trying to emulate the look on iTunes whenever you click on an album and the tracklisting slides down. And for posting of new tracks, we added the listening widget over the artwork. But I'm still doubtful with some of the experiential looks. So expect more changes in the new few days, weeks, months and years.

In terms of information, you will notice that each remix post is linked to an artist page. That whole section is a lot of work. But i have it all mapped out deep deep deep down in my cluttered brain. I already played on the design of the page (a lil). See the Katy Perry's one for example. I'm not really really feeling it. So the final look might change totally.

In some of our new posts, you will notice a "Do you know?" blurp at the bottom. Whenever there is an interesting information about the artist or anything related to the track, i will just add it in.

One big feature that EVERYBODY is looking forward for is the Remix Submission System. It's going to be the main channel for remix uploads. It's going to be divided to a few sections: The Archive (to feature remixes from the 80s till end of last decade), Bootlegs submissions (Amateur/Upcoming remixers who wants to get their work out there) and Mash Ups. The survival of "The Archive" and "Mash Up" depends you guys! Because we are doing it the crowd-sourcing way! For the bootleg submission part, since we receive tons of bootlegs a day, not all will appear on the main site. So this section will be home for those mixes. And also, I will need volunteers to help out with the moderation process to make sure no double postings or very very very shameless promos and non fake files/virus). Will put up announcement, when the system is almost already. All files uploaded on the site by you guys will be automatically be pushed our Sharebeast account. So everything stays central. I'm still in the midst of programming that part but hit a roadblock. Will try other methods.

Speaking bout Sharebeast, did you notice the Sharebeast thingie on the right? So now, you will know Sharebeast is up or not. Every remix uploaded will be on one of those servers. If you can't seem to initiate the download once at sharebeast, you know why. But you can always come back and try again later. We check this every 15mins so you'll be always be updated...

stay tunedddd....

featured dj mixsets

Hey DJs,

Since we receive tons of mixsets daily, there is a long build up of backlogs in our mixset posting queue but there is nothing much we can do as we do not want to flood the site with mixsets. But no matter how much work involved with the whole site, we still believe in supporting DJs.

We have getting a lot of complaints and enquiries from DJs about their mixsets and why is it not up yet. Answering these emails do add additional work on our end. But an idea was brought up to us to charge DJs who want their mixsets to pushed up ot the top of the waiting list. As i mentioned previously, if you send your mixset today, it will at least 3 weeks before it will appear on the site. So on our end, we thought bout it. We didn't want to do it. But then doing all these takes up a lot of time. So why not? At the same time, we will also feature it on the sidebar. It means it will appear on almost every single page on the site!!!

But we know it's a tough world out there, so we are still posting mixsets for FREE!

With 10-15 thousands visitors a day, putting your mixsets on dirrtyremixes will definitely get your name our there. We have gotten countless thank you emails from DJs and emerging ones. Some bedroom DJs now get booked for jobs and some are even on tour now. A few are signed by A&Rs who are lurking around to find the next big thing. And have you noticed remixers who have created bootlegs remixes getting the OFFICIAL remixes title tag to their work? So in a nutshell, dirrtyremixes has become a platform for DJs, upcoming DJs, and even remixers to advance their careers to the next stage.

For more info regarding featured mixsets, email us at [email protected] with the subject "Featured Mixset Enquiries"


p/s: to increase the page load of the site, we are removing soundcloud or any other 3rd party preview widgets on djmixset posts. But we will allow it for Featured Mixsets.


thanks for all the support and love,

mixsets

the usual huge year end back log

Hey,

It's the time of the year again where we receive tons of mixsets. It got so crazy end of last year that i had no choice but to expand it from one posts a day (every 10:10pm +GMT800) to a DOUBLE DAILY DEAL to keep up. But until today we are still doing it to make sure there's no big backlog (every 06:06am and 02:02pm +GMT800). and YES! If you didn't notice, we love to play with our posts timings whenever we can.

Since mid November, i saw a increase and i knew it's happening again. But this time is more than i evert expected. We are getting a surplus of 2-4 posts! That's triple of what we post daily. (The US Govrnment will be so happy with any surplus to begin with - LOL RANDOM!). As the popularity of the site grows, the amount of submission really went up along But I'm sorry to say that I won't be increasing this limits as I don't want the site to be overwhelmed by mixsets. Plus it takes time for me to get it all scheduled and posted too.

To those who have submitted mixsets today, I think the earliest it will be up will be in end Jan or mid-Feb. So to those who have sent recently, please be patient. I'm already getting a lot of emails asking "Why is it not up yet?" or "Did you get my email?" and even sending the same email again and again and again. Please don't as it might push you down the queue by our mail filing system. So i hope this will explain why.

P/s: Just a form of reference: today's latest mixset that i have posted by Jor D was sent to me on Dec 2nd. And there are 2 more mixsets to post before i reach the Dec 3rd.

thanks for all the support and love,

hey dirrtypeople,

We have been receiving quite a bit of big THANK YOU emails for the past few months from DJs and Remixers. I'm in the midst of compiling them and will be sharing these with you guys.

dirrtyremixes.com might be just a remix site to 99% of you guys, but to those who have posted their stuff on the site have had made a name for themselves, some even got permanent club residencies and also international tours. We even have remixers who have been creating unofficial/bootleg mixes getting commission request to create official ones!!!

Ain't that cool? if you have any personal experiences to share do email us at [email protected].
(if you dont have your name to be revealed, do tell us in the email)
