Coming up on the podcast…

Mr. Oded Peled, the head honcho of Misc. Management sends a 60min guest mix with full-on melodic minimal groove, his own tracks and some classics. Even though the podcast has had pretty trance orientated guests lately, this sound fits in perfectly. You’ll hear why.
Oded’s mix on Orion’s podcast in the next 24 hours. Stay tuned.

The past days there has been some serious design work for the full upgrade of this website. Some of the current tasks include Flickr and YouTube intergration, some RSS-based content management and – finally – moving from Movable Type to WordPress.

Also, this website still has parts which are way over five years old. The structure includes tables, iframes and other not too modern web design stuff. Looking forward to a fully CSS-based layout.

But after all this tech talk, I’d like to hear if there’s anything what the current pages lack, any functionalities which should be added or something which simply doesn’t work at the moment. The better page we can make to serve your needs, the merrier :) Leave a comment or send some mail.

>> PODCAST DETAILS & SUBSCRIPTION

Netvibes offers a very nice user interface for listening new podcasts. All subscribed podcasts appear in a basic rss-feed form, but there are two buttons for each entry: “listen” and “download”.

Basically you can stream every podcast which sounds interesting before downloading it. As I’ve subscribed to nearly 30 different podcasts, it took all my bandwidth to download all the new casts everytime I opened iTunes. I’m more than happy to select the best mixes using this interface and leaving iTunes just for my music library.

After a few trance/progressive mixes, our next podcast guest dj concentrates fully on house. DJ Flight is one of the rising names in Finland at the moment and definitely worth checking. His mixes vary from smooth, melodic yet easily approachable house to full-on technoish electro house. For more, see www.djflight.com.
