It’s that time of the year– well actually two months ago it was that time of the year, but we’re late. Either way, here is the “2008 Beat Feast” mix filled with all sorts of surprises and new DJ tricks bound to make you wonder how much free time I have (ironically not that much). Hop on over to the Pirate Radio section to download it now. Also, check out this week’s value special in the Merch Shop. This week we have the N parody DF logo tee on sale for $9.99. Grab it while you can. Happy New Year!

Shameless Self Promotion

New for 2009, we now have an official Merchandise Shop for you to pick up official digitalflood clothing, cups, and miscellaneous crud. May I recommend the dog t-shirt featuring the “Cats – The Other White Meat” logo for your favorite pooch? Nobody ever said we had good taste. For Christmas I picked up an M-Audio XSession Pro MIDI Mixer controller, which will most certainly lead to all sorts of hooligan DJ activity. As I type this I’m listeing to a raw mix of the latest live DJ mix of digitalflood Pirate Radio. I think you’ll agree– this one was worth the wait when you hear.

DF Pirate Radio – Cliffnotes (2008 Season)

Cliff Notes – 2008 Season

* After two years (since 2006) on hiatus and the first time since November 2007 any new sets have been released, DF PIrate Radio returned to the webcast scene in October 2008 with a brand new show.

* Chrissy is DJ digitalflood’s wife in real life. They were married in April of 2007.

* The current Pirate Radio studio is in the Welch household’s living room.

* The speaking interludes in Pirate Radio are actually recorded days before the show is engineered and produced. The playlist is one of the first pieces of Pirate Radio that is determined. From there a format is fleshed out. A general plot decided. Then recording takes place. The music and sound effects are added in later during production.

* Every live mix show has contained at least one track featuring Old Dirty Bastard. This is an homage to DJ digitalflood’s favorite rapper.

* Live mix shows take longer to actually make than the normal spoken format shows. On top of the normal four hour production time required to create an episode, a one hour recording session must be performed in real time. Normal shows only require about 30 minutes of recording to tape the voice interlude segments. Mixing then occurs in the production software and not in real time thus speeding the actual creation process.

* The lost episode (11/3/08) took some four months to be released. Production began in one version of Sony software and ended in another. Yes– we took long enough to go up a version during production.

Patience Is A Virtue

I’ve been really busy with work and that’s slowed down production a bit, but I wanted to make sure everybody knows I’m not MIA or going on hiatus or something like that. I said a month or so back when we kicked into full production mode that we weren’t going to return to weekly segments and this type of situation is exactly why I didn’t want to over promise while under delivering. The good news though that soon I’ll be able to get back to doing what I do best– drop new tracks and shows right here on DF.com. MC Mary and myself did recently cut a new Pirate Radio that needs post-production still, but there is definitely going to be at least one more talk show Pirate Radio before the end of 2008. I also owe you both another Beat Feast mix tape and a little surprise before the end of year. Both will be delivered soon enough as well. I appreciate your patience and continued support– keep believing because we’ll deliver for sure!
