Thanks to everyone who contributed, once again we have a very high standard of work to promote!

We will hopefully have everything ready for release by next week, depending on how busy I am, but with all this wintery weather i can see a lot of time to do these things while i sit it out in my house.

Holden: I will see about having you upload the back catalogue directly rather than send me anything, it will be far faster and more efficient. But like I said i just need to get the page ready first and then things will get a move on!

Dave, I haven't received a notice that you've downloaded the latest mixed version of my second track. Do I need to upload it again?

Ok, as a test, i uploaded the 2005 compilation, which was called "Dirty Musicians".

It's in with my netlabel for now - we can move it to a separate collection if we want.
In any case, it's hosted on Archive.org, which is free, allows unlimited downloads, and affixes a Creative Commons license to the work, for what its worth.

Since i only have these comps on CD, they'll get ripped at an appropriate bitrate mp3. Archive.org creates various versions (e.g. ogg, lower bitrate, streaming). This one's at 192 kbs, just as a test, and if memory serves, the originals probably weren't super high res. But the later editions were, and we can at least slap 'em up at 320.

Enjoy this blast from the past, featuring the likes of Marshall Watson, Lucid Rhythms, Hal9000, Greg Thelen, Grandbrother, AViD, Maus, Sputnikk, Genetically Engineered/Krazy Kasper, The Sharkdog, and DJ Dinobyte!

Hey, it's "Dreamgirl, I'm Desperate For You" from 2007!

Somehow, i have 11 files listed on the Cd art, but only 10 on the CD - hopefully these are tagged correctly, though i'm going on memory for a few of them.

Quick update... getting the page ready on Born dirty... we have a tracklisting.. but i will keep that quiet till we get things ready to download.

I probably wont have a special pdf like i hoped because i simply dont have the time to sort it out... but what i will do is have a series of blog posts on borndirty.. maybe one a week.. spotlighting one of the artists on the compilation - links to websites etc.. and then of course another link to download stuff....

I think we will get all the artists more exposure that way!

Its sounding really good... and its probably the most experimental/energetic that we have had in a few years!

10 tracks seems to be correct.

My, that track of mine has come a long way. This one was version 0.1. If you want to listen to the definite version, then check out this link

I sent in an updated version of my track. I hope it's still possible to get that into the compilation
