The first to post...I feel honoured

I will use this post from time to time for updates in conjunction with Fluid Radio news.

For now a few links will do to get things started again:

Also we are in the process of designing a new web site that will be up and running in the next few weeks.
Along with the new look design we will also be introducing a second broadcast channel that will focus on experimental Folk music.
We have a test stream running at the moment for the new channel. You can listen to it from the links below.
This is only a test stream however so it may go down from time to time and it also only has about 1 gig of music on the server set at random play.
Much more music will be added to this stream before we go live.

Thanx for the update.
January's list of forthcoming mixes looks good. will be checking most if not all out.

[billygomberg]

this is really an overwhelming resource of quality mixes.  great job with this whole project, Fluid folks...

[Fluid]

Ok folks...

New web site is finally completed (well almost).
I hope it's a little easier to navigate around compared to the last one and a little more pleasing to the eye.
If you notice anything not quite right then all feedback is most welcome.

Many thanks,

Dan

As far as I know, Mixcloud operates much like a radio station, with royalties paid to the respective collection agencies, hence the mixes on there are stream only.

I always ask artists or their labels for permission to use their tracks in mixes for streaming and download (as a single file mp3 mix) which is also Fluid's policy.
I'm not sure if this is still their policy since they've been using Mixcloud (maybe Dan can clarify...)
I'd imagine a lot of the tracks featured in Mixcloud mixes (other than Fluid's) aren't necessarily used with permission, seeing as it's like a licensed radio station, hence there's no need.

My first 2 mixes can be downloaded from Soundcloud here:

Thanks for clearing that up, already had first 2 and have enjoyed listening to them.
Grabbing January's now.

Thanks Jimmy

We always expect artists compiling mixes to check with the artists/labels involved in the mix before sending to us for broadcast.

The Mixcloud side of things is a new addition in many aspects to Fluid as we was looking for a media player widget that would allow mixes that have been streamed on the main broadcast to be uploaded aftrewards for those that may have missed out on the original broadcast due to time zone differences, etc.

Like Jimmy said Mixcloud are licensed so any artists that are involved in the mixes should (if registered with ppl) get a royalty payment I think!

We also pay a yearly liscense for the two main Fluid broadcasts which again means any music that we stream on both channels all gets logged with ppl every quarter.

As regards to making mixes available for download...

That all depends on the artists/labels involved in each mix. We will never make them available as a downlaod unless given the all clear from those involved.

Hope that helps,

Dan
