Now this I heartily endorse – the clever folk at the Bulls Head in Moseley have been recording mixes by residents and guests at their Freestyle night and uploading them to Mixcloud.
There are mixes from Yam Who?, Steve Cobby (Fila Brazillia), Mama Feel Good, Sam Redmore, Adam Regan and a whole bunch of others. Very nice. Here’s The Bulls Head on Mixcloud.
Is anyone else doing anything similar? There’s the listen again thing on some Rhubarb Radio events but I’m struggling to think of any others. Then again, maybe the copyright issues put some off.
If you’ve not come across Mixcloud it calls itself ‘the YouTube of radio’ and is basically somewhere to upload radio shows, podcasts, mixes and mixtapes. If you’re interested in that kind of thing then maybe cast a glance at Soundcloud and Bandcamp – they each do slightly different things but aren’t too far removed from each other.
The difference with mixcloud (as I understand it) is that it allows you to use — credited — commercial material and the site pays royalties. With Soundcloud and Bandcamp you are _supposed_ to have all the copyright permissions sorted.
I know that a lot of the Rhubarb DJs upload sets there apart from their programmes.
