DirtyBass.FM - Serious Bass (Radio Online)

"I'm a PC, and Windows 7 was my idea"

DBFM in your CAR!

I don't know about you but when fate forces me to peel myself off my chair and out into the blinding abyss we call the world, I miss DBFM. So we opened a new R&D department and the Elves have been flogged non-stop to resolve the issue. This is what they came up with...

Things you will need...
a) Car or Feet (to leave your house with)
b) Mobile Phone (windows mobile is best. but i am sure "there is a app for that" shoutcast)
c) Pure Highway (either old clunky one or new flash one)
d) The ability to swear a lot when it don't work.

Here is my setup anyway...
HTC HD
GSPlayer (Great Shoutcast player for WinMobile, Free too)
Pure Highway

Usage: switch on phone, enter the DBFM stream in GSPlayer and connect that to the Pure Highway box, which in turn streams (via FM) to your car stereo.

Taaaaadaaaaaa, easy as that!

Questions? Just ask in IRC.

DIRTYCASTS: Fresh off the turntables comes the new podcast from DVH, mixing up a fresh dubstep selection.. Grab it from the DirtyCast page, or better still subscribe to the MP3 or OGG podcast feed and get the dirtycasts delivered direct! Cheers DVH :) You can catch DVH playing live on the 19th December, playing the Simplon at the 'Machtig vs Dub&Dwars' night. Click here for info..

FEATURED ARTISTS: Some new stuff on the site since last posting, we've added four new artists in thefeatured artists section.. click the link, and check them out - they're all unsigned artists and need your support. NeuralNET is regularly playing their Choons in the Sunday selection, so you have another chance to hear their stuff.

SITE NEWS: After correcting the server time, Nidoh noticed that the IRC stats bear more than a passing resemblance to Homer Simpson asleep in his underpants... ..and what does this say about the channel ?! Let us know via IRC.

Brooa playing out

Brooa is out and about, bringing his fresh selection of electro house to those of you lucky enough to be in the Perth area. If you're anywhere near the Broken Hill Hotel on Wednesday the 2nd Nov 2009, get ready for a stormer! Brooa is guesting at the Oasis event, you can see a flyer for the night >HERE<

Nice one Brooa !

DBFM has been dragged kicking and screaming into the twitter age (well Neural has, Nidoh was already there).. Given how often DJ's play that aren't on the schedule, we're using Twitter to update you all on who is playing when and what genre. Follow Dirtybassfm on Twitter and using a twitter client you'll get real-time updates for when you can't be in IRC - how cool is that ?! Talking of cool stuff, make sure you head into the IRC channel & check out the hard work that Nidoh has been doing on the bot (try !cur if you don't believe me !)

DBFM Newsflash

DBFM - We're still here !!

We are glad to announce that DBFM is here to stay.. Although fewer posts than usual, mainly cos a few of the regular DJ's (Antha & NeuralNET) have been having technical and connection issues recently so missed a few shows.. but we're very glad to announce the return of a favourite DJ of ours - Toes (Coba in the forums) Welcome back mate! Swings and roundabouts eh? Keep an eye on the schedule to see when his regular slot is confirmed. Antha (Shooey) is back online, and with a bit of luck Neural might just get his controller back at some point this century.

On top of this, we've also moved IRC servers.. Hopefully Vision-IRC will prove more stable than absurd. Here are a couple of java client links to the new channel, #DirtyBass.FM@Mibbit.com and #Dirtybass.FM@IRC2GO.. or if you have a proper IRC client installed - >Click Here< - Alternatively if you have mIRC, type this;

/server irc.ViSiON-iRC.net -j #dirtybass.fm

If you missed the shows on Sunday, you missed a treat. Antha, Neural & Toes back to back niceness for 6 & 1/2 hrs. Neural has promised a Sunday Selection PodCast so watch out for that hitting the DirtyCast soon. :D

Amsterdamaged...

Long-time DBFM (and several revisions before that ;) stalwart, Shooey breaks a DirtyCast leg with this summer inspired selection of niceness drum and bass. I'm amazed it's taken this long to prise a mix out of him.. It's worth waiting for though! (p.s. No, he is not wearing a dress mixing this.. honest.)

This weeks DirtyCast is a bit late hitting the server, thanks to a superb weekender hosted by Shooey himself laying waste to the DBFM crew in attendance.. Cheers Boss, Tidy darts!

Neural is out of the country so no new DirtyCasts for a week or so.. Expect a stormer on his return tho' :D

Qx on the Decks

DBFM is proud to announce this weeks mix comes courtesy of another first time DirtyCaster, Qx steps up to the decks.. He might be new to dirtycasts, but he's an old hand here at DBFM. Hailing from Canada, Qx has done his fair share of travelling.. and his broad world view is reflected in his musical taste. Mixing up the liquids in this exclusively vinyl set, Qx brings flair to a stylish collection of choons.. Thanks Q, you can come again !

In other news;

* DBFM party on this weekend.. Keep an ear glued to the stream. You're not going to want to miss this !!!

* Twitter Updates coming soon

* more great choons !

New Borfd DirtyCast

This week we have a new mix from Borfd, although those of you in IRC will probably know him better as Nazz. The 'July TechnoDnB Mix' comes to you a little while after pressing.. but it's worth the wait! Packed with banging choons from the kick-off, including the massive Hubble by Raiden and tracks from Limewax, Lethal, Kaiza and more..

Seriously dirty bass choons!

New Stuff!

Check out the improvements on the site ! As usual this has been paid for in Elf blood.. but hey, you can't make on omelette without breaking fingers.. or something..

We have our new nav-bar, the broadcast pages (including the usual links, WMP links, plus a flash based RadioPlayer!), Links pages and Featured Artists pages. This months featured artists are Fletcher Munson Effect, Lucius and The Reel Bandits.. all very accomplished musicians. Make sure you check their choons through their players on the artist page.

Thankyouplease!

Brooa pops his DirtyCast cherry !

DBFM is very proud to announce a new face in the ranks of our DirtyCast DJ's, whilst at the same time welcoming back an old friend.. DirtyCast #15 is by DJ Brooa ! One of our West Coast Aussie contingent, this guy knows how to party.

Rustling up a choice house flavoured set, with distinctly raucous broken elements by the mixes conclusion.. this is Brooa's Winter Mixtape (it's winter in Oz mate !) and it's sure to get even the most frigid partygoer to shake their arse.

If you've not already signed up to the DirtyCast free podcast, now is a good time! Plus it will allow you to catch up with any 'Dirt' you've missed in the series so far.
