Guys,
With the lack of fresh sets going around the net on nu-horizions/dj mixes etc of late, and with AU getting some top class trance and progressive DJ's as well as AU's radio shows being worthy of being aired (Ala rush/FBi in Sydney), just wondering if anyone is interested in co-hosting a http site for sharing sets. It'd be great exposure for ALL the locals to have sets along side those across the rest of the world, and also promote AU as a world class act offering something at a time where sets are declining.
I'm not talking just Sydney here, I'm talking hosting elements presents/jen corp sets, 5am/viper room/mangled sets the lot along side the likes of AvB/Tiesto/etc, any international release sets.
The costs roughly will be $99USD for either 700 or 800gig of transfer. That's 7 people paying $20AUD a month (or more people paying less) to have the site up and running. If we can get banners/sponsership, it may become cheaper, but I don't know anyone who'd get anything from it, other then VinylWarning (Hi Guys :p).
700 or 800 gig will allow 7000 or 8000 people a month to download a 1-1 hour 20min set.
There'd be no ruler of the server, all levels would be equal, it's not for profit, but to expose our scene to the world and show we can match the talent of the world.
Thoughts/Comments?

I think thats a awesome idea!!
Definetly should get a lot of people to contribute to make it a cheaper at the end so we can get it up and running faster. |

The idea sounds fantastic. But like a lot of ideas its not feasible.
1. There are a lot more than 8000 people on the internet who would eventually be downloading sets. Im pretty sure TA has more users than that.
2. If you wanted people to keep returning to the site, im pretty sure you would need to offer a new set more than once a month.
3. The legalities of the sets are questionable at best. Even if you get the djs permission to put the sets up for download, the record labels wouldnt too happy that people are downloading "their" tracks for free.
Its a noble and good idea, and maybe with some more thought put into it, it could come to fruition. But there will be a lot of hardwork and $$ required. |

1. Nu-horrisions transfers just over a terrabyte a month. So that could almost be matched from the get go, without taking sets down early or asking for funding. P2P programs should be albe to propgate the sets once 1000 people have each set
2. I'm sure we can get enough sets to update more then once a month. Elements presents is a weekly show, as is Nova and FBi. There's a possible 9 shows a month, without any locals sets or demos/studio mixes, without any international sets.
3. Sets on the radio can be put up, so no problems there. I'm aware DJ's have to OK their sets, and believe I can get this done for live sets, either by myself or someone in Sydney, and if a DJ's playing @ 5am etc, I'm sure one of the 5am crew can get a set approved. James Zabiela, Dave Seamen, Steve Gerrard, are all people who've released their AU sets Last year. I don't see that as an issue.
The $ is what this thread is about, it's not much or many people to get it started. The hard work; ie getting the sets, locally I record about a club set a week, so nothing new for me. In regards to maintaining a webpage, the likes of PHPNuke ala nu-horizions works fine, something like Moveable Types could also quite easily do the job with Webalizer checking for stats. I don't think it'd take too much to get this happening.

if it is to be HTML based - you will also have to invest in anti-leech right?
otherwise hotlinking will defeat the purpose of the website. |
