Oh yes, it was! UW and Genesis vie for top spot in my musical heart.

But that's not the point.

Point is, every year, we pick a theme and let our individual creative tendencies run wild. We compile them and it always turns out veryyyy interesting! Up for contributing?

is this like a mandatory thing if you sign up? i'm not very good at creating music, but i have some ideas and i might be able to work something out. it could be fun, but if i end up making a four minute track of ferris bueller's vomiting noises, don't be surprised.

Any idea of where a deadline would be? I'd love to take part (it'd be good inspiration to finally get something *finished*!) but I anticipate uni kicking my arse in coming months...

Of course I'm in.

Hey Guys....

Ok, So with the new project beginning to gather momentum I am eager to put forward a few proposals to help bring our compilations into a more modern music world.

Last year we hosted the 2009 compilation on DirtyRadio.org and through various other sites. The compilation was never added to darksounds.org nor was it reunited with the previous compilations...

... we have to change this..

Recently I have initiated a move towards setting up a small netlable for dirtyradio.org through which we intend to release free to download compilations. However as we try to enhance the dirty community for everyone (the fruits of which will be enjoyed soon), I have been eager to extend this to the dirty community and offer a definitive location for all of the darksounds projects where everything from the ID3 to the cover art... to pdf booklets and info on the artists can be provided in one fast download to all who are interested. I want to take these compilations out of the darkness and get them out for all our new and old members to hear and see.

DirtyGrooves Records will distribute it's music through a bandcamp page and will of course be free to download. This will in turn be at the heart of the dirty community and its websites and out in the open and clear for everyone to click onto and find... even casual visitors. Bandcamp also offers embeddable players for us all to promote the albums with .. and of course get it exposure through dirtyradio... facebook.. twitter etc..

I am going to need some of you to get the earlier compilations to me in as good a format as possible if i am going to make this work.

This is going to be a new era for the dirty community and I want to make sure that this project which has been so successful thus far does not fall behind...

So I am offering DirtyGrooves Records as the new label through which we can release our compilations... let me know what you think.

That's brilliant! I can provide my old tracks in whatever format suits, I have the uncompressed audio archived here. Perhaps DirtyGrooves could even release some solo projects from us dirts?

Dig it, Dunwho!

I also have a netlabel, Believe In Billy Records, and if you guys don't mind cross-promotion, i can announce and release this years' compilation there, too.

The more the merrier. Promotion's the name of the game when it comes to free music, i've learned, as there's so much out there vieing for listeners' ears.

Let's take some chances with this year's compilation, no?
I'll strive to stretch and break my typical output, for one...

Cool cool... Holden do you mind sending me downloads for all the albums? I only have last years and while i can get 2008 and 2007 from darksounds.com I would really like to get the 2006 and older albums too!

Yes lets promote the fuck out of it!

However what I intend for DirtyGrooves is for it to finally give all the compilations a definitive home.. and it will feature on the dirty websites.. here on the forums and through Dirtyradio... so everyone will be able to get their hands on the whole catalogue.. whenever they want.

But for the most recent album of course lets get as many people distributing it as possible!

Sounds like a great idea.
I think it will be great for the comps to have a home to direct listeners to, keeping everything in one place stops any confusion and makes promoting it a lot easier.
Also think it would be cool to have it on Holden's label page too maybe direct link to dirtygrooves from other sites when promoting or we could get a widget that people can post up on sites.
Anyway big thumbs up from me!
