Latin Essentials: DU8SHOW Episode 11!

Hey guys, Spring is upon us and the latin vibes are coming on strong with a continuance of the essentials. Along with the 11th Episode of the DU8SHOW podcast, I included the Opening Set and a special ‘Essentials’ Mix for you to keep in your collection for keepsake. It’s a nice mix of old funky and latin vibes that are the marquee of any set and the true defining sets of the club vibe that I bring to venues here in Toronto. Don’t forget to send email your feedback and I also added the Donation tin on the sidebar so you guys can support the show. It’s all good in the hood here in Toronto, keep listening!

Essentials in the Mix: DU8SHOW Episode 10!

Hey guys! Today's show is a good set of essential latin-inspired house tracks that would be great for anyone's playlist. I also added in some extras like MAW's Harddrive 2000 with Never Forget, Yves LaRock's Zookey/Lift Your Leg Up and Nalin and Kane's awesome Beachball track that will bring back some good memories. I wanted to showcase a special track that I used to play in the club but never heard anyone else played it, Havana Funk's Bakiri Ban. There was an excellent Dub Version which has a consistent Timbale line that was reminiscent of the River Ocean song with India way-back-when. If you like the track, try getting the Major Boys Remix which was a nice electro remix of the track that you rarely hear from latin house anthems. All in all, great set. Enjoy!

Beta Updates - DU8SHOW v.01 BETA

Here is an overview of some of the updates made to DU8SHOW:

DU8SHOW now v.01 BETA

As this blog is in a testing phase, the first revision makes this version 'v.01' and all updates included will reflect the number changes until official release.

Updated Theme

I included a new theme called "Rounders 3" to add some life to the site. The previous 'Minimal Black' was a little too dark for my liking so I spruced it up.

New Page Elements

I revised a sidebar element which contained a brief introduction. This, of course, will not be permanent as I intend for this particular section to have detailed information about the site to help new visitors. For now, it's a good introduction.

Site Feed Added:

I added a feed from 'diplomatico' from Opera which will allow me to post exclusive information for this site. The addition of the site feed maintains a parallel operation of both sites until I dismantle the old site and focus more of the new features on the new site. Watch for more feeds to be included in the near future.

Background Fixes

With both AdSense and Analytics, I had to go back to the drawing board and play around with the HTML which was rather difficult. It has become apparent that there needs to be more work done in this section. For the time being I have implemented AdSense among the entries but it won't allow me to distribute more ads within the page. I'm still looking into that but if nothing can be added, then AdSense will most likely be implemented between posts permanently. As for analytics, I have been experiencing some problems with receiving traffic information and this has been a milestone for the site. Once I get a handle of what kind of traffic I'm getting from the site, I will be able to finalize the layout and feature set towards an official launch.

Upcoming Fixes

There is a lot of work that has yet to be done for the site. For one, the show itself will be marred by a simple hosting problem which limits accessibility of the show. The maximum time a link from Sendspace to a file for the show is 7 days, sometimes going for as long as two weeks. I am still searching for a hosting solution for the show but at this time, anyone who is willing to host the show and relating mini-episodes are more than welcome. Since I am in a transition phase from Opera to Blogger, there are some things that I want to add to the page to make it more robust. Of course, since the limited availability of the show is hindering it's progress, other ideas that I had for entries such as articles and added information about the show will be included for the next while. The main problem is that I can't get a read on any traffic on the site as of yet and hopefully after this latest tweak, I'm going to be able to implement the changes that rely on the traffic in the next few days. Visitors are more than welcome to advise changes, critiques and suggestions for future Megamix shows. More to come soon, stay tuned!

Electro Sets return by popular demand!

Greetings! Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Don’t worry, the weekend is right around the corner and I have a couple of mixes for you guys as I’ve been getting some emails asking me to put these up. So I dedicate these mixes to all those heading down to a house club tonight because as we know Thursday is like an un-official house music night. They’re two electro sets that I posted a while back that got some good feedback and I’m bringing them back just for you. Enjoy!
