Happy 2006!

DiSfish interview

2005-12-25T10:05:00.000+01:00

Okay, 100% in Dutch, but still interesting I guess for DiSfish lovers:

My DiSfish interview for CC Netherlands

Feeds and playlists

2005-12-18T14:40:00.000+01:00

Improvements and bugfixes:

The DiSfish Feed is working now
m3u playlists are working now, check for example the album I am working on 'Music for Cars & Barflies'.

Since a couple of months I am building lenses. One of them: the Official DiSfish lens!

Squidoo is in public beta now... same as for DiSfish.

Get ready for 2006, the year of DiSfish!

Coffee and rock

2005-11-30T19:04:00.000+01:00

Today I had some coffee with my buddy Rob. He told me he really liked DiSfish and asked: 'How do you find these artists?' He asked me that because he really liked some of the DiSfish artists, Atomic Tom in particular.

I told Rob that Cezary finds a lot of great artists, I find some... and the best ones simply find DiSfish ;)

Brand new DiSfish artist drivealone is simply brilliant. Both Cezary and I fell in love with his music. But it could use a better mix in my opinion. Maybe he'll let me help him. He is worth it. Or better said: his music is worth it!

I think Bob Mould should hear this stuff as well as lots of others!

And yeah, Adam should play it on his podcast show! Now!

Creative Collective stop

2005-11-17T10:24:00.000+01:00

Cezary had to close down Creative Collective because it eat a whole lot of bandwidth without anyone donating.

That donation thing is still a thing we need to see if it's really working for DiSfish as well ... we hope it will of course :)

100% Podsafe

2005-11-13T12:28:00.000+01:00

DiSfish is 100% Podssafe. But you probably already knew this, right?

Green, we want you to become a StaRfish!

2005-11-13T12:17:00.000+01:00

Cezary once wrote me:
"And you are a Scritti Politti fan ?????"

Cezary and I are both huge Scritti Politti fans. Green's voice, melodies and harmonies are really mind blowing.

So yeah, we want Green to become a StaRfish!

Update: check Cezary's picture and compare it to the one of Green. Cezary looks like Green minus the beard! Interesting...

Adam, are you ready for DiSfish?

2005-11-12T19:14:00.000+01:00

Adam switched to playing pure 100% Podsafe Music. ONLY Podsafe stuff and that's hot news, right?

Time for Adam to play some of our fantastic artists.

I forgot to mention that you can add your comments at DiSfish now. So if you think Cezary's music stinks and my new album Music for Cars and Barflies is the best you ever heard, nothing is going to stop you from doing so :)

DiSfish is a better label than Sony!

2005-11-04T12:55:00.000+01:00

Yes, you heard me: DiSfish is a better label than Sony!

Why? Because we don't do DRM. We will never, ever do that. But Sony, well... they are in deep shit!

Interesting article about us. It's funny to see that websites are picking up the news about DiSfish, even while we are still in beta :)

Thanks hepepe

2005-10-21T11:51:00.000+02:00

Yeah, thank you for this.

A collection of artists is better than 1

2005-10-18T08:59:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I was reading this fantastic article of Seth Godin. In 2 words Seth is saying: competition works.

This is the reason why there's not just one DiSfish-musician out there, but a whole collective. We're not saying, 'I am sound', but we say: 'WE are sound'.

The issue of Noncommercial

2005-10-14T13:39:00.000+02:00

This morning I took some time to write this long post on copyright. I think it is highly needed. There's a lot of discussion about what is commercial and what is not.

I am so happy to see my friend Paul Mahoux aka xuoham onboard at DiSfish. All the way from Japan!

And wow, the heavy dudes from ccMixter: Fourstones/Weird Polymer!

I love it! DiSfish is still in BETA, but this is already what we call BiGfish ;)

Listen to my Art of Swimming playlist at Webjay. You can do the same thing of course. Promote DiSfish music!

Great music in OGG format

2005-10-07T10:17:00.000+02:00

Usta is offering their songs in OGG-format. This is very courageous because OGG is not a popular format (yet).

Dave has a very nice blog and he wrote a post about DiSfish. Thank you Dave!

Diversity is the key-word

2005-10-06T14:53:00.000+02:00

At DiSfish we focus on high quality music. We most certainly will bring the european sound in the spotlights again thanks to my friend and DiSfish's co-founder Cezary Ostrowski, as well as many other fine composers.

For example; check out the happy dance-track Eastern Hope of s4ge or the FreeFahnk/FreeDub track Everything's Just Fine Thanks of flatwound. That's a wide range of sounds, right?

We're in Beta now!

2005-10-06T13:54:00.000+02:00

DiSfish is in beta now and I decided to blog about it.
