Soulseek – its not just for mp3s anymore

What i im posting to talk to you about is a multiple format file sharing program i use called “soulseek”.

(http://www.soulseek.org).

You may or may not be aware of it, but its really cool. Its kinda like napster but way more developed and its main focus is on the elecronic music community (and i stress the word “community”.)….

im not going to go into great detail about the program itself. Im not here to advertise it. I will however say that i think its on a level completely on its own when it comes to p2p sharing and I of course invite you to use it and take part in the community there.

i specifically wanted to draw your attention to the web forum that i bumbbled my way into being the moderator of there (it best illustrates what im talking about)…….

So far the users here have managed to organize:
1)- a never ending mp3 remix project called “foxy boxing” (100+ remixes and counting of the same awefull song)
2)- 2 cd compilations…”SLSK V.1″ (the first thing completed….due out next month) and…..”One minute massacre” (a mix cd of 36 artists with each artist collaborating on their transition parts)…
3)- A 12″ 120-bpm “dub/house/glitch” compilation is apparently in the works…im not involved in this.

The next project is an remix/cover/tribute/satire/deconstruction of music from 1982-1992 that we are debating making into 12″ compilation…..this is where widerstand comes in…i would like to invite any intrested parties to participate in this compilation and the politics/discussion around it. (yes ! I really would love to have your insights and advice.)

i also wanted to menion that I specifically posted this message to widerstand and widerstand only….Why?

1)i like this organizations politics….your very open here=)
2)i like a lot of the music here.
3)I feel the forward thinking of both these communities (widerstand & soulseek artists) could really benefit one another.
