Anyone that doesn't have access to proper hosting will have their links die in 3-6 months or whatever, using Sendspace/Megaupload etc, unless they remember to update their shit all the time. I'm always happy to host sets for people, since I get so much wicked music from all the DJs here, and I have way more disk space/bandwidth than I need, but I can't do it for everyone, obviously. It's a pretty busy forum I really like the idea though Jay

good point.

this thread is just to throw some ideas around.

i believe divx share does not delete files ever, so that could also be a solution.

@ djx2 that archive of yours is wonderfully clean.

Originally posted by jupiterone i think a whole buncha people should get together to do one massive mix, just record a mix under the same idea, have all people send their parts to another and have one person mix them all into one. would be like a huge 6 hour set from 6 people with great talent here

that was kinda what a bunch of us attempted with the global excursion series, only those mixes were CD length. 6 hour idea sounds sweet though, maybe even make it 8-9 hours to simulate a club night!


as for the topic idea, it would probably be easier to maintain if each dj created their own archive threads and then have the sticky merely link to each one (with the dj's name, range of genres covered and how many mixes featured). basically pretty much the same as how it works in the tracklist forum

the only thing to figure out would be how to do this, without bumping the people who just posted a new mix to shit.

The problem is there are a lot of DJs that post here... many of them just spam their mixes. (and aren't visible posters in other forums)

I don't think that'd be much of a problem at all, actually. Those kinds of posters aren't all that likely to participate in anything like this - I imagine they just click "new thread, submit reply" and are done with this forum.

I actually think this might be a good way for those mixes to get buried and the mixes of people who actually participate on TA to get some more attention.

i do not see this as a problem, if there was any section of the forum that was for the spamming of sets i think this is the right one.

there is no rule for posting here if it is the only forum you post in, therefore this should not create an exclusion. Not everyone enjoys posting in other sections, and that is ok.

Indeed a very good idea. The search is a bitch, and I've tried searching for all mixes of some TAs by searching on threadstarter from the beginning.. which really takes some time.

On another EDM forum it's done much better on that aspect - you can click on someone's 'normal' profile and you also see one's 'dj' profile where you can see all sets that a DJ has posted and the thread linked to it.

What's your plan? Which direction are you thinking of going?

Originally posted by elFreak I was thinking...do you guys think it would be nice for TA Dj's to be able to have a thread where all of their material that is online would be available? There are many TA dj's that have multiple sets, and i think an archive might be a great idea to have more exposure. It would probably help those that get little attention get more exposure as well. opinions?

Great idea! I think the best approach is to bond your idea with Rob's. Hear me out...

Have anyone who is interested create their own thread, and maintain it themselves. Trust me, those who do care enough to be a part of this and put enough effort into their work will do it. Then you can create and sticky a "TA DJ Set Archive Thread" pretty much like the one that is stickied in the "Tracklisting Archive" forum with links to all the DJ Tracklisting Archives. (i.e. this one )

I think that is probably the best approach to take without driving you nuts doing all the updates.

Just my $0.02
