Summer Edition 2008 v1 - a podcast by Keith a.k.a. K j A M

First and foremost, I want to thank Alex, Joseph, Nick, David V, David J, Klaus and my good friend Glenn a.k.a. discoball for answering my call for help.  Without it, I would have been forced to suspend this site for a while.  That being said, with the kind of numbers Party Favorz has been drawing over the past several months and the disproportionate amount of downloads vs. contributors, it's a shame that people can't lend a hand to something they clearly enjoy.  There's a lot more work that goes into this site than you could ever imagine.  For now, my plans are to keep the status quo as far as the site is concerned, though I will continue to look for ways to draw some type of revenue stream that would allow me to remove everything from my budget into one that solely exists for continuing operations.  As I've previously stated, I'm not looking to get rich, just the ability to cover any costs associated with maintaining this site.

If you look to your left, you'll see I already have the cover art for the next several mixes up, so you know what to expect during the month of August.  The only one missing is a cross-promotional mix I'll be making for Electroqueer out of the UK for their upcoming fall bash in London.  Though I plan on getting everything released between now and Labor Day (September 1st), I won't make any promises.  After that, I'll be sending out invitations to other DJs who want to promote their own site or their work while I take a rest.  I'm going to be very busy in August with rehab (no, not the Winehouse/Lohan/Spears type).  I've been accepted into a program to try out the NESS L300 that might very well let me walk again.  For those of you (pretty much everyone) that don't know me, over the years I've gone from a wheelchair (and I'll never walk again or so they told me) to a regular walker, then to a rollator, which I've been using for God knows how many years now.  Most strangers seem to think it's pretty cool and love to come up to me and ask stupid things like 'how often I get the tires rotated' or 'how many miles I get' or 'they know someone who does great brake work'...etc.  Yada, yada...I just laugh it off.  This is an exciting time for me.  I had the opportunity to check this thing out last week, and it looks very promising.  I might talk about it in future posts or I might not.  I'm generally not big on pouring out my personal life's story to complete strangers, but if things start to lag behind around here, you'll know why.

Another thing I need to mention is that all links on this site including iTunes will be down until Sunday or so.  My anal retentive self-moved everything over from kjamproductions.podbean.com to partyfavorz.podbean.com over the past couple of days.  I now need to go back and update all of the links on this site and re-associate my new listing with iTunes.  Sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm guessing most everybody has already downloaded what they want from previous posts.  If there's something you gotta have now, head on over to my Podbean account and you can get it there.

That being said, I've got my Summer Edition finally wrapped up.  Once listening to both mixes you'll notice that the worlds of electro and tribal are merging and the electro-pop/funk stuff is really coming into its own.  While there's always room for the standard circuit sound, this new direction of mixing it up really works and keeps things fresh.  Wait till you hear the second slice of this mix, which will be posted tomorrow.  Even I was blown away by the final result.  For now, take what you can and as always...Enjoy!
