Dunfyboy's Bomb Strikes Mix

Download from MediaFire here.

With Bomb Stikes Volume 15 just released it seemed a good time to do a mix of the lot.

If you're unfamiliar with the label, they're mash-up party breaks, kinda like A Skillz & Krafty Kuts' Insane Bangers. If you haven't done so already, you can pick up my Insane Bangers Mix here.

Download, enjoy, and leave a comment.

Dunfyboy's Ninja Mix

Link to MediaFire.

There's plenty I don't like about Ninja Tune. Playing the same drum loop over and over for 5 minutes with the odd sample or synth thrown in for a couple of bars isn't downbeat, it's just boring. Dropping a drum beat that's four times as fast as the rest of the track might be clever or innovative if the track was decent to start with, otherwise it just comes across as a self-indulgent waste of time. I swear a lot of there stuff would never have got past the demo stage if it wasn't on Ninja. Some of their artists just don't do anything for me, but because they're a "cool" label, there's always going to be some people (you know who you are!) who will buy it.

So, why do a mix of Ninja Tune? Because some of their stuff is as good as you'll find anywhere. This mix has all my favourite tracks from Ninja and their off-shoots Big Dada and Ntone. Besides, I want to be cool too :)

Of course, this is all just my opinion. You might think this whole mix is crap. But what if it's not? Get downloading and leave a comment either way.

Western Digital suck balls

Well, it wasn't the enclosure, it was the hard disc itself that was the problem.

I installed it in a new enclosure and managed to get Vista to recognise it (XP still won't have anything to do with it). I've managed to rescue most of my music, but I reckon about 100 gigs is gone, never to be seen again. Thanks a fucking bunch WD.

This is obviously going to have an impact on upcoming mixes - uploading isn't going to happen as frequently as I'd like. But, at least the site will continue. Yes, MyPodcast.com is (kinda) working again.

I received an email towards the end of the year from First Beat Media, the company that owns MyPodcast.com. They asked me to become a Mod on the forum and contact the techs when a problem cropped up. I've no great intentions of doing all the Moddy stuff (and the forums aren't really busy enough to warrant it anyway) but at least the techs will now know when there are problems with the site.

Nice to have some good news for a change.

No mixes this month

No new mixes in January, been having computer issues. Last October, my media hard drive went up in smoke, literally. My own fault, I plugged the wrong power adapter into the back. Not to worry, I had a back up. After this, I decided to reinstall Windows on my PC, during which the PC's HD failed. It was so bad I had to get a tech to fix it for me (thanks June).

Now, my Western Digital My Book has decided not to play. Time to worry, this is the back up. Not sure if it's the HD or the enclosure that's the problem. I'm hoping it's the enclosure, otherwise nearly 500 Gigs of music, vids and docs go bye bye. The disc spins OK, but when I connect it to my PC I get write save errors and Explorer freezes. I've no other SATA enclosures lying about so I've ordered a new one. Fingers crossed.

They say things come in 3's. I don't know who "they" are, but I could do without anymore HD failures. It sucks too much.

End of year report 2008

First of all, stats for the year:

66 mixes uploaded to www.dunfyboysmixes.mypodcast.com since January with 6315 downloads. Most popular mix is my DJ Shadow mix - 441 downloads - thanks to it getting a mention on solesides.com and proving so popular on pearsontowers.com. Thanks to all who have supported Dunfyboy's Mixes over the past year.

If you've had problems downloading from MyPodcast.com do perceviere. The site has storage and bandwidth issues. This caused a few to jump ship to Podongo.com. However I learned today that Podongo will be closing tomorrow. Credit crunch and all that. I was thinking about leaving MyPodcast.com, but with one of it's main competitors going belly up, who knows.

Happy New Year to all, and thanks again.

Dunfyboy

Just heard from Metrodorus, another MyPodcaster, that he'd been in touch with First Beat Media, the owners of MyPodcast.com, and they'd reassured him the site would continue. Good news.

Dunfyboy's Electro House Mix 3

Download from MediaFire.
Here's the last mix of the year, and possibly the last mix to be hosted on MyPodcast.com. The site has been suffering from more and more technical faults and support is almost non-existent. I've been upping mixes there for a year now and it may be time to find a new host. I'll have to think about it in the new year.

Anyway, the mix. It kinda goes more electro breaks than house at the end, but it's all electro, eh? Apart from the odd track or two, but they're house tunes, if not electro, so it all fits. Whatever, it should keep your head nodding on the drive to visit rellies this Christmas.

Enjoy, Merry Christmas, and TTFN.

Dunfyboy's Trance Mix 7

Download from MediaFire.
It's been a while since I did any trance mixes so I thought I'd throw this together for you.

These tracks are from A State Of Trance Classics volumes 2 and 3, so nothing's too up to date. Quite a few are vocal tracks, which is strange for me, but a nice mix all the same.

If you missed my previous trance mixes, you can get them here.
