    the mixing bowl

    I've just re-discovered this site and thought it was worth a mention for people that like their dance/electronic music. It's basically a site that offers an archive of 100's of non commercially available DJ mixes and other stuff, i've been using it to satiate my obsession for all things Radio 1 Essential Mix, but there's other stuff there too. It works on the basis that people try to maintain as close to possible a 1:1 up/down ratio. Anyway that's enough rambling the link is below

    www.themixingbowl.org

    enjoy

    I get the new essential mixes as soon as they're out, usually get quite a high ratio on them, i've had quite a bit of traffic from the mega torrents too (the complete years worth of essential mixes) but i've only downloaded selectively from them not the whole torrent at once and i wait till i have a high enough ratio before i download another mix so that i can remain at 1:1 and above.

    On a side note, the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas mix from a week or so ago is fantastic, definitely worth getting.

    I'm not actually sure on the legality of downloading essential mixes, i know that everything on the mixing bowl is not commercially available, so no-one is losing money but other than that i don't know If anyone else has a better answer then go ahead.

    From what ive heard, the BBC actually stepped in and helped TMB when the BPI was looking at them.

    I have nothing to back it up, but the person who told me isnt known for fibbing

    heh... thats all water under the bridge now Agent but as long as it's not available to buy in the shops then it's okay

    I'm on there all the time, sometimes uploading some real gems of some cracking sets and mixes.

    I've just got the autobots october promo mix so that went up @ the weekend.
