Hope 2024 is finding everybody healthy and in good spirits so far. Just thought I'd share a few thoughts on my plans for this year, mix-wise...
As I've shared many, many times in previous posts, YouTube is becoming nearly impossible to deal with in regards to posting mixes without blocks. As such, I'm very hesitant to upload anything new here since roughly 75-80% of them become unavailable within days. I have no plans to shut down this account in the forseeable future since there remains at least a few mixes available for folks to enjoy, but moving forward MixCloud will continue to be where all new mixes can be found.
Even on MixCloud, it's getting a little tricker to navigate. Their free acounts are now limited to 10 uploads each, requiring me to open multiple accounts to keep everything in my growing catalogue available. While I appreciate every single penny that some of you have generously donated via Paypal, there's simply not enough revenue coming in to justify paying for a Premium account. After all, these mixes remain a hobby of mine. A greatly beloved hobby, mind you, but not one on which I can devote enough time to make it a genuine source of income.
On that note, I've started to organize my MixCloud accounts a little differently. Today, I created an all-90s account to seperate my 90s setlists and give them their own home while freeing up a little space on the existing 80s accounts. For the record, here are my three MixCloud accounts for those looking for them:
To celebrate this new 90s page, I've just added '90s CLUBBIN' MEGAMIX V5': a brand new 2-hour mix of killer tunes from the early 90s! It's got lots of original 12" mixes of classic radio hits from those years along with a few, more obscure club tracks to keep things extra hot 'n' spicy. You can check it out here:
Side note: if you have a MixCloud account of your own, please take a moment to visit my new 90s account (i.e. www.mixcloud.com/Muffin_Phatz_90s/) and hit that 'Follow' button. Its viewership is basically starting at zero, so it needs a little extra love and attention right now. Lol.
As for upcoming projects, I've got more volumes of THAT'S SO '89 in the pipeline, as well as the usual assortment of 80s and 90s mixes. Plus: having finally completed my all-Prince trilogy last year, I now have my sights set on paying homage to the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna! Since Madge's music doesn't get blocked here, you can expect her DJ mix to appear on YouTube when it's ready later this year. Beyond that, it's going to be a wait-and-see approach when it comes to uploading anything else new here. That said, rest assured that you'll get a reminder here whenever I post new mixes over on MixCloud.
Well, I think that covers everything - phew! Again, a huge THANKS to everybody reading this for your continued support. Believe me, every single 'like' and positive comment is deeply appreciated.
