Shahrokh Sound of K on YourSpins

2008-12-15T01:19:00.000-08:00

Remix "Leave Your Hat On"

Does any Iranian participate in the global dance circus?
Yep, they do: Deep Dish, Ali Dubfire and Shahrokh.
Born into the deep west impacted Shah-era, he passed his high school diploma in Teheran
and moved to Germany after the regime fall.
„Persians are melancholic people“, says Shahrokh, „with a huge appreciation for poetic.“
„His congenius partner Andreas Köhler looks back on long lasting stays as well.
But what does it have in common with House music?

The persian folk music, is based on house tempo from 120 to 126 bpm, even though persian folk music is more polyrhythmical, the melancholic melodies lord over these tempi.
The ethnic dances are very similar to Jackin – hydraulic Headnodding down to top dancing – quite contrary to the prevalent Rockin´ or Headnodding in the west (down top movements)
In the music of Shahrokh the Cello or pads displace the melancholic component.
And when you remember the original house of the late 80s/ early 90s you´ll find definitely plenty of melancholic. You just have to ask Robert Owens.

Since 1995 Shahrokh applies himself to the production of House Music furthermore he´s the most important interpreter for house and clubmusik events, first of all the best known DJ in Karlsruhe.
Karlsruhe is famous for its art college „center for art and mediatechnology“ (short ZKM).
Shahrokh´s organisations of the events for and with ZKM are such numerously –
it would go beyound the scope of listing them all right now.
In the context of these events Shahrokh collaborated with the following persons as well: Prof. Peter Weibel, Luigi Colani, Jose Wagna Garcia, Carl Craig, Hans Nieswandt.

His own Clubs - at first „Terra Cotta“, later „Mood Lounge“- enjoy cult status already.
There are house CD compilations fort he Mood Lounge, beside Shahrokh his closer friends Amé (Christian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann) are quasi Resident DJs there.
Apart from that the worldwide who is who of House Music shaked hands at the Moodlounge and Sahahrokh parties. There´s no big name who didn´t played there.
Everyone who met Shahrokh knows he´s a party and rave-animal from the very beginning –
somebody who can tell you spacy sories and as DJ and Clupper he experienced alomst everything

Shahrokh released his debut EP„Deff Punch / Roya“on Black Flame in 1997.
One year later follows „Phunk Communication“on Caus-N’-ff-ct - in the same year the english Label Miss Moneypeney’s licensed the tune exlusive.

You´ll find the follower „Yo Yomma“ (one more time for Caus-N’-ff-ct) on the soundtrack of Wolfgang Peterson’s Blockbuster „Stargate“. Beyond Shahrokh did productions and remixes for Caus-N’-ff-ct,
cover versions of Donna Summer´s „Hot Stuff“ and „Bad Girls and one remix for Gloria Gaynor „Last Night“fort he project „DJ Empire - A Tribute To Giorgio Moroder“ (Caus-N’-ff-ct/BMG Ariola)

His partner Andreas Köhler studied at the music academy in Basel and Karlsruhe cello and piano
is touring regularly worldwide with the SWR (one of the biggest german TV and Radio station).
Since 1999 Andreas Köhler plans and leads the musicworkshops at the ZKM – in these workshops he focus the computer as an instrument.

Beside the classical music he has always been much into electronic music,
he runs his own sound studio – where emerged releases for Harthouse, Glasgow Underground or
F-Communications (the label of Laurent Garnier).

After the first collective release on Compost Records Shahrokh and Sound Of K melt into the project
Shahrokh Sound Of K. His track „Owlflight“ got massive support from keyplayers like Rainer Trüby, Peter Kruder, Atjazz, Sasse and Àme.

The most component and matter that is nearest to their hearts is to bring back musical basic structures, arrangements, live elements and a little bit poetry to Housemusic.

A lot of the tracks result from jamming and free playing with the musical elements - contrary to the usual Techno preprogram of the beat and bassline.

The album is for Shahrokh Sound Of K. the Dripping Point, the distillate of large influences like
Garage, Afro, House, Jazz and Discofunk.

Dripping Point includes vocal features by „the voice of house“ Robert Owens, Jamie Lyod (known from his solo projects on Future Classic), the swedish female singer Siri Svegler (collaboration with the top jazz pianist, conductor and arrangeur Christian Vaughan; sponsorship by Volkswagen Soundfoundation for Siri’s own songs – under the patronage of Seal as her goodfather) and Toyin Taylor.

You can look up to Shahrokh Sound of K live since 2006 –
there are two live versions: Laptop, Keyboard and E-Cello, depending on the amount of the gig
will be added bass, live percussion, vocalisten and horns..

"Ooh wee! 'She Likes Me' is a sweet pastry ready to be gobbled up!" -- Bobbito Garcia "This is definitely something I would love playlisting on the radio...very good track indeed." -- Laurent Garnier. Though Sepalot remains the producer and DJ of the pioneering German hip hop group Blumentopf, his time is now used to create his own sound as showcased on Red Handed. Distinctly European, Sepalot's style doesn't fit a specific formula, mixing all of his favorite genres into a melange of hip hop and related sounds, with a big piece of electro thrown in. From Sydney to Johannesburg and Moscow to his hometown Munich, Sepalot's DJ mixes have left turntables sizzling, and he's collected star-studded guests along the way for his debut solo album. The first single from Red Handed, "She Likes Me," featuring Frank Nitty (the Frank in Frank'n'Dank), sets the tone for what's in store and has created quite a buzz amongst DJs worldwide. With West Coast MC Blu the featured guest on the B-side, "Surrender," a track specifically chosen for its more hardcore approach, Sepalot showcases the strengths of this album and his ability to stand out from the flood of international albums. It is an homage to all his musical influences of yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is where the story ends and begins - Red Handed takes you on a journey to hip hop and beyond!

Dario Boente & Huge in Japan

2008-08-19T04:19:00.000-07:00

The term "crossover artist" can mean many things. In the case of argentine pianist and composer Dario Boente, it means a musician who is equally at home performing romantic tango and jazz compositions on a grand piano, as he is programming world-beat electronica.

Dario's musical personality energetically bridges the Jazz-club and the Dance-club, and is a direct outgrowth of his own life. Having been brought up in Argentina and Spain, immersed in the culture of tango and Brazilian music, he pursued his formal studies at the Guildhall School of Music (London), Berklee School of Music (Boston) , the New School Jazz and Contemporary Music Program (New York) and his social life in the dance/electronica scene of New York, Madrid, London and Ibiza .

In the early 90’s, Boente toured the Euro circuit playing “Big Joe Turner” as his keyboard player and musical director, with pop band Imagination, with spanish flamenco singer "Jose el Frances", making dance tracks, and performing in the major Jazz festivals.

In 1999, Dario moved to New York City. Since then, he has released three Cd’s as a leader, featuring well know Jazz musicians as drummer Antonio Sanchez (from Pat Metheny Group), drummer Victor Jones (Stan Getz, Chaka Khan), guitarist Ronny Jordan, Saxophonist Miguel Zenon, flutist Jorge Pardo (Paco de Lucia, Chick Corea), among others.

Currently, Dario leads his own bands "huge in Japan" and "Projecto Sur" plays with percussionist Luis Quintero and works in the studio with R&B multi grammy award winner Joshua Thompson (George Benson. Luther Vandross, Alicia Keys).

As a side man, Dario has played and/or recorded with guitarrist Ronny Jordan, Grammy winning Louie Vega’s “Elements of Life”, Ximo Tebar,Pablo Aslan, Mino Cinelu, John Benitez, Alex Blake, Alex Forster, Abdou Mboup, Craig Handy, Mark Eagan, Frank Lacy’s “13 Piece Band”, Victor Jones’s “Culturversy.” and with Djs Little Louie Vega, Ananda Project and MR. V, to name a few. He performed piano duets with Dave Kikoski and Richie Beirach, and played keyboards on Big Joe Turner’s European tour.

Dario has performed in more than 19 countries worldwide and his compositions have been included in several albums and compilations. Dario resides in New York City.

Synthesizers & Lizards

2007-07-03T03:48:00.000-07:00

From the looks of things or more rightly so, from the picture on her MySpace page, Ninca Leece likes synthesizers & lizards. An odd combination but the results are good, which show through in her music. ‘On Top of the World’ This electronica / experimental track from Ninca Leece aka the 'electric lady' is guaranteed to be a dj favourite and a dance floor crowd pleaser... well that's what I think!

Take her for a spin... and let us know what you think?

Cause and effect

2007-06-19T05:47:00.000-07:00

So, the sudden rise in body temperature is sure to cause a fever, right?
Well, hot stuff coming from the Hungarian 5 the rock band with a splash of Dance! Heaven Streeet 7 they've got ‘Fever... and they just don’t know it as they raise the temperature at yourspins. HS7 are showing real cool on this track with its easy going vibe of drums, solo's and vocals giving the impression that their playing to you from the comfort of their bedrooms... just a few mics, amps and… the internet.

Good news, with this set alternative everyone of us can convert this track into a competent, conceivable and decent sounding dance anthem... Big-up to the producers

What's it like to be addicted?

2007-06-13T04:16:00.000-07:00

Terri Walker, shares with us "Addicted ft TY" taken from her 2006 album "I AM" This master piece of southern soul produced by the southern songstress herself. Well, South London, England, Just in case you’re thinking south ATL Atlanta, Florida or even New Orleans; well, your way off - this is Brit-soul at its finest, which is a testament to both the generations of soul and the talents haling from the UK.

A must spin...

This very seductive and fun southern soul track will have you coming back for more, again and again... Would that make you addicted?

The Datarockers

2007-05-31T02:03:00.000-07:00

A head on collision of 1970's funkadelic & modern rock whilst dreaming about nights out in nightclubs all in slow motion. Interesting sounds, I just wonder to myself how the guys arrived here? Is this the effect of some big blast or just the collision funk & rock? This cosmo styled band and its abundance of sound has left me feeling like kid left alone in a sweet shop... having all them sweet around me!

All you need is a just a little datarock and you'll be… wanting more! i use to dance with my daddy

Look out for competition!

Mando Diao the Indie band

2007-05-31T01:51:00.000-07:00

With influences ranging from John Lennon to Mohammed Ail; Maybe this can explain why we have a Swedish band singing Country & Western, (and extremely well) 'Good Morning HERR HORST' is an interesting show of talent from the new breeds of rock & roll, great looks, hooks & melodies! plus beaming all the signs of being up there with the luminary of folk writers e.g. Marley, Dylan etc..

Look out for competition!

2007-05-16T04:52:00.000-07:00

Spring Selection!

2007-04-13T08:19:00.000-07:00

Just Jack gives us Glory Days - this wonderful spring time spin makes you wish very day was one of those "Glory Days", the suns shining, you feel good and everything goes just as you planned.

Just Jack has managed to blend a little of his many genre influences in this bitter sweet musical. ranging from electro, blues, soul and elements from the London grime scene/east-end knees-up, in a happy sing along. (great horn section)

Glory Days is so far reaching that wouldn't be out of place coming from a small office radio to pumping-out the back of a supped-up Vauxhall Corsa on some council estate in North London.

Cool summer spin... with competition!

Create the best remix of "Glory Days" and you could meet Just Jack and win two tickets to the Wireless Festival in June (London)… and be handed a gold record, if you live in the UK that is!

The 5 runners up will receive copies of the new album "Overtones" wherever they live.

All saved remixes will be entered into the competition on YourSpins where you can listen, vote and where Just Jack will pick the winners.

Competition ends at 11:59 on Thursday 17 May 2007

Natasha wants to have your babies?

2007-04-13T08:06:00.000-07:00

This was a shock-surprise for me when I got the news and I'd imagine for most men it would be the same... Not to worry chaps, "I Wanna Have Your Babies" is the title for Natasha Bedingfields latest release - apparently It's about some dude in Las Vagas and not me (she hasn't even mentioned marriage), very odd...

However, this track is another cracker for you spring spinners - "Musically it is distinctly ..Natasha Bedingfield... the voice to melt radios, the beats that drop either side of the Atlantic, the arrangements that are undeniably quirky, but still, somehow, work".

All this wouldn't be complete without a competition!

The Best remixer of Natasha Bedingfield's "I Wanna Have Your Babies" wins x2 tickets to see Natasha perform in the UK (UK members only) - the tickets will go to the best remix selected by NB herself and x5 copies of the eponymous studio albums Natasha Bedingfield to the runners-up. (open to all)

All saved remixes will be entered into the competition on YourSpins where you can listen, vote and where Natasha will pick the winners.

(Competition will run until 30.04.07 last mixes must be submitted by 0:00hr GMT)

Now it's over to you

Where's Your Spirit Man?

2007-04-13T07:52:00.000-07:00

This isn't some lame call to raise morale among members. No, "Where's Your Spirit Man" is actually the name of the awesome track given to us by N.Ireland band Kharma 45

Kharma 45 the band that compose a sound that is best described as a fusion - electronica, dance and rock. The sum total of their efforts and mix of genres is quite extraordinary.

May I introduce you to Kharma 45, with "Where's Your Spirit Man"

Guaranteed to lift your spirit...

NEW MUSIC! 2007 updated

2007-01-12T07:32:00.000-08:00

Look who it is...
Robbie Williams in disguise. This time he's not just singing She's Madonna, he's come dressed as her, with shoulder length hair, a slinky dress and fake acrylic nails in tansvestite white polish...

A lot effort as been put in here to produce this electro pop shocker with Robbie giving some to the Pet Shop Boys, who some might argue are experienced in this type of ting...

Once I was told that Robbie's fan base was 90% women, if that rumor is true, then this is your chance, well for those women to strip one of Robbie's songs down to it bare bones and re-dress it to their every own desired taste. Creating their own spin for "She's Madonna"

Boys you get the chance to get in-touch with your feminine side - start mixing it's great!

For 10 weeks Robbie will pick the best mix to feature on his myspace page.
All saved mixes will be automatically entered into the remix competition.

The London Urban Collective soaks up the streets of London’s raw Hip Hop/Grime anger, futility and resentment but delivers it with the bass thumping heavy southern sound that only Atlanta can bring... Check out Mobb Rank

I don't like cricket!

How about some reggae? Some Hungarian reggae by the band LB 27.
LB 27 play several different styles of reggae such as: roots, dub, dancehall, ragga, ska. (something for all of us) I don't know to much about this band but I do know that only started play reggae after listening to Bob Marley's "Babylon by Bus" concert album. Check out Judge Day

More music coming soon... so, please keep your eyes on this post for updates.

See below for previously published tracks...

New music has arrived on yourspins! For the first installment we have; Bring Me the Head by Ginger House. The UK based band with many infulences ranging from classic RnB and jazz to drum and bass, that sounds like Old/New school with modern production and classic urban flow and sentiment.

If you like music, you're gonna love this.

In less than 24hours later...

Another track has been published, this time we have the Brazilian electro duo Rain maker, which shows influences from Depeche Mode, Erasure and bunch of Euro Dance. Now, they bring another dance track; "Another Storm" It's to dance, and remix...

and today 24.01.07 we see the arrival of the British electronic rock band, Archive.
Archive present us their future sound; a mix of their triphop background and an upbeat rock sound, or as some tend to refer to their music: triprock. Get familiar with the this new contrasting but sweet sound of Archive and start mixing "Sane" taken from there latest album "Lights"

It's time to get your Freak on... with Freak!

Jimmy and Ferrari the branded Dj's / Producers from Spain drop a set for the masses, well not quite the masses but for the community, and that's a set of alternative for you to create your own awesome mixes... Jimmy and Ferrari deliver and deliver well with this very danceable track "Freak" with it's sensible grooves. This ones sure to please and especially the DJ's and Dancer among you..

So we start the month of February with a Lil somthing?

Rock this way and meet Lil Chris

Lil Chris: the youngest artist at 15, enters the Spin' with his third release: Figure It Out! For a small person Lil Chris carries a big sound, which is pretty amazing... this UK Pop Rock (emo) solo artist and protege of Kiss' frontman "Gene Simmons" (Rock School) not only wants you to remix his song but would also like to meet the best re-mixer of "Figure it Out" in a unique one off competition. (open to UK members only) Members outside the UK have the chance to win 10 signed copies of this album.

For more information on competition visit the forum.

From the USA, Natalie Walker joins the community with her mix of Folk, Soul and Electronic. Natalie’s songs are infectious, honest and heartfelt and her vocal tone is unique. With musical influences ranging from Alison Krauss to Portishead, Jewel to Lauryn Hill, Beth Orton to Bjork, here she delivers her own unique sonic landscape that is at once organic, ethereal and absorbing. Quicksand...

Some of you might already be familiar with the melodic pop sound of "Kinath" from São Paulo, Brazil, Drawing its many influences from the likes of Roxette, U2, Abba, Madonna ... pop songs from the 80's and early 90's in general. As Kinath put it " the melodic lines from Roxette, the Madonna way of singin' sometimes, the synth thing from Vince Clarke (Erasure), the "e-bow guitars" from U2's guitar player"

Kinath are back with their great new track "Tears Are Falling"

Ciara hits us with her latest release "Like A Boy" from her sophomore album Ciara The Evolution. This talented young lady co-wrote and co-produced this very danceable track, that has a cool blend of the Atlantic crunk, Miami bass and a perfectly layered coating of rich vocals that she delivers so well.

With this track you'll find yourself making up dance moves to go along with your well timed mixes...

IE Music / robbiewilliams.com andDigimpro Announce Strategic Partnership

2006-11-24T05:00:00.000-08:00

IE Music and Digimpro announce today that they have agreed a strategic partnership. The partnership focuses on incorporating Digimpro's interactive music technology into the activities of all IE Music's artists including robbiewilliams.com.

Digimpro's technology was successfully tested in a promotional campaign for Robbie Williams sponsored by VISA in Germany; proving exceptionally popular with the fans and satisfying the marketing objectives of robbiewilliams.com. Following on from this success IE Music and Digimpro will also apply the interactive music technology to bring new levels of engagement and a significant increase in value to Robbie Williams' activities with consumer brands.

Tim Clark, MD of IE Music said:

“We are always looking for new approaches and ways to make it fun for fans to discover the music of our artists in the digital and mobile worlds. Digimpro's technology is particularly interesting to us because, not only does it engage the fans in new ways, helping us to promote our artists, but it also opens up new revenue streams for Robbie Williams and our other artists, by selling personalised mixes, as downloads or ringtones.“

Rupert Evans, MD of Digimpro said:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with one of the most innovative and respected management teams in the business. It is also very exciting to have IE Music's artists and their music on yourspins.com, our web 2.0 community. We will shortly be announcing some new strategic partners in Asia and we look forward to bring these to our relationship with IE Music. This will enable us to reach even more fans in Asia for all of IE Music's artists as well as directing them to Robbiewilliams.com“.

Winners of the Coldcut remix competition and comments by Matt Black

2006-10-16T03:40:00.000-07:00

4. Beneath the mask - stagger A mile... heavier , more distorted growly treatment with a great evil start. probably fits in better with todays rock influences.

1. thejo - Coldcut -Walk A Mile In MY Shoes (Thejo Rmx One).mp3..... nice dubby futuristic feel. distorted background sound (guitarrig2?) a bit too continuous but effective in giving it edge..

5. Dstressed - Cut 'n Cold mix.mp3. more edgy, with piercing sounds added which make it more edgy. might take your head off in a club! effective sparse beat.

"hummmm....these are not as radical or diverse as i would have expected. my faves in order are 4, 1, 5 so 4 is the winner" by Matt Black of Coldcut.

News update from YS

2006-09-15T03:47:00.000-07:00

You may have been wondering what we have been up to behind the scenes here in the YourSpins office. Well, apart from sweating away in the tail-end of the London summer, we have been doing some very exciting stuff, but can't reveal all just yet. I'm such a tease! We should be able to tell you more next week.
What I can reveal is that we have some fantastic tracks ready to go live on the site very soon and for all you Mac users out there, our Quicktime plug-in is very nearly ready to go. Soon you can enjoy the high-quality audio of .di files like PC users have been able to with the Windows Media Plugin for a many months now.
Enjoy the weekend and keep on spinning!

Get yourself heard!

2006-09-05T08:48:00.000-07:00

Want to improve your listen count for the wonderful mix you've just made? Well you need to do a bit of self-promotion to get yourself heard!
Once you have made your masterpiece, you can mail it to your friends (with a link via email, or using the 'Send to friend' function on the spincards), you can post a link to your mix on your favourite forum, you can even post the mix in a mini-player on your myspace page or personal website using the 'Blog this mix' link on the mixpage on YourSpins. As an example, here is the latest mix of Coldcut from YourSpins embedded in this page. All listens through this player count on YS!

What else?
Well, a personalized ringtone from your own mix is sure to get people talking too. In the spincard mode, click on Ringtone to select start and end points for your personalized ringtone. In moments of whimsy we like to call them 'spintones'.

Have we missed something else? What else can you think about to promote your mix on the web?

Latest news

2006-08-03T07:01:00.000-07:00

Lots of behind the scenes stuff has been going on this week, which may not be interesting for you right now, but in a few weeks time it will be! We are updating the homepage and going to make it easier to make your mixes into 'spintones' - ringtones of your mixes on the site. Also we have a few new releases which will surprise and delight you in equal measure. So stay tuned to the site and this blog for more news on these.

This week we also had our hands full with the switchover to the new shiny URLs we were so happy with. Hopefully that has all been implemented now without any odd bugs or errors on the site, but please let us know if we are wrong! Apologies to those people who were not able to save their mixes earlier in the week, but in case anything like that happens again, try mailing the mix to yourself to upload later!

New URLs, no more weirdness.

2006-07-30T14:25:00.000-07:00

UPDATE: It seems there is still some weirdness going down. We have reverted back to the old URL structure for now. We'll get on to fixing it tonight. Sorry about that. -- YS Team.

Hey y'all. We spent a large part of Saturday in making changes to the server and architecture of the site. As a result you may have experienced some anomalies, disruptions or general weirdness with the site over the weekend. Our apologies for this. Specifically the 'save to web' feature should work again now. On the plus side, we have a bunch of nice, shiny new URLs. Your homepage - for instance - should now be www.yourspins.com/username. There are a whole load of other readable, predictable, hackable, guessable URLs - which we will blog about later. In the meantime, thanks to Tom Coates, whose excellent presentation on this subject was the inspiration for the change.

GLIDEASCOPE COMPETITION DETAILS

2006-07-11T07:06:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

Sorry it's been a while coming, but here are the details for the Glideascope 'Big Big Disgrace' remix competition.

The competition runs until 14th August at midday London time. After this date, Glideascope will listen to the mixes and decide on the overall winners.

The prizes for the winners are the following:

1st Prize: iPod Nano
2nd Prize: iPod Shuffle
3rd Prize: Promo Glideascope DVD
4th Prize: Signed "Audio Cinematography" album
5th Prize: Signed "Big Big Disgrace" single

PLUS (yes, there's more) there will be some random prizes awarded sporadically throughout the competition where certain mixers will win a nice Glideascope t-shirt. You might be lucky enough to win a spot prize of Glideascope's "With Strings Attached" EP as well.

At the end of the competition, winning mixes will be available from the Glideascope site as a freely-downloadable podcast.

So what are you waiting for - get spinning now!

Screencasts coming soon

2006-07-11T05:34:00.000-07:00

"Screencasts? What are they?" I hear you ask. Well they are little movies of what happens on the screen when a user performs certain tasks. We'll be making a couple of these to augment our help files and FAQs to illustrate how to make a mix, how to save it, how to make ringtones etc. I just need to find a USB microphone and we'll be up and running. Stay tuned.

New track, new prize!

2006-07-11T02:01:00.000-07:00

The latest track available to remix on YourSpins is a new genre for us - classic techno in the style orginating from Detroit in the late 80's - when hissing hi-hats ruled and basslines broke many a speaker system. This track however, originates from Romania and the studio of Alex Bluesound. Alex is very much involved in the Romania techno scene and this composition - Nervous Breakdown - is his first for YourSpins.

To make things interesting, Alex is also offering a prize to the first 10 composers of the mixes he likes best. Winners will be offered a special mp3 DJ-set from Alex - exclusive to YourSpins. To win this great musical journey, simply tag your mix with 'djmp3' and make sure it is one of the first and best mixes!

YourSpins - video star!

2006-07-10T07:11:00.000-07:00

Many thanks to YS member blogdon who has created a fantastic promo-video for YourSpins.com. Check out the video on his site here: http://blogdon.net/?p=274

Congratulazioni Azzuri!

Many congratulations to Italy for winning the World Cup! There are some wonderful photos of the final on this site - and it is always interesting looking at photos of the fans faces at full-time. So, no more football - for a few weeks at least - until it starts all over again in England. What will we do without it?!

YourSpins & Robbie Williams!!!

2006-07-07T03:52:00.000-07:00

Yes - it's true, the boy from Stoke has released his new single, 'Sin Sin Sin' in YourSpins.com's .di format. As of today, Robbie fans will be able to mix the great new track as part of Saatchi & Saatchi's campaign in Germany for VISA. This is the press release that went out over the wires a couple of hours ago, in full:

Interactive Music From Robbie Williams And New web2.0 Interactive Music Technology From YourSpins.com Harnessed By SAATCHI & SAATCHI For VISA Campaign

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2006--Robbie Williams said: "I am very excited about the online remix campaign developed by SAATCHI & SAATCHI for VISA in Germany. The technology from Yourspins.com is great for the fans, giving them the chance to interact and experience the creative magic of music in a completely new way. It is the first of its kind taking place entirely on the web and it is great to be part of that."

The technology behind www.yourspins.com is being used by SAATCHI & SAATCHI to launch an innovative campaign for VISA in Germany. By visiting http://www.liebejedenremix.de/ , Robbie Williams fans in Germany are able to remix "Sin Sin Sin" online and enter their mix into a series of competitions for prizes awarded by VISA. The technology, which is patented by Digimpro Ltd, allows an unprecedented level of interactivity with music. SAATCHI & SAATCHI is the first agency to apply the technology directly into an advertising campaign, "love every remix" which is based upon the "love every day" strategy of VISA.

Robbie Williams fans are also able to use YourSpins proprietary technology to remix "Sin Sin Sin" and then create their own personal ringtones from their unique mix of the track . The ability to personalise ringtones in this way is a market first.

Harry Otto, project leader at SAATCHI & SAATCHI, said: "Online activity will increasingly be at the centre of campaigns. VISA, as the Official Payment Partner of ROBBIEWILLIAMS.com needs to appear as an authentic partner within the target group. So we wanted to feature something exclusive from the artist, and which is only available at the VISA/ROBBIEWILLIAMS.com promotional Website. So we chose YourSpins.com technology as it is designed to give our target group something new and fun, but most importantly something that will really hold their attention."

Wendy Schoonjans, Country Marketing, VISA Europe said: "Visa is very excited about the campaign based around www.liebejedenremix.de, which combines Robbie Williams' music with YourSpins.com technology to create a new interactive music experience. As part of the VISA's Love Every Day advertising campaign and the www.robbiewilliams.com partnership, fans have the chance to remix their own Robbie Williams song and win fantastic prizes!"

Rupert Evans, MD of YourSpins, said: "The whole of the YourSpins community is about entertaining people online. The fact SAATCHI & SAATCHI have used the technology directly in VISA's campaign underlines the technology's value as something which can, with the right music, grab and hold peoples attention. We are also delighted to be able to offer Robbie Williams fans the ability to remix and personalise their ringtones."

Whats the advantage of this? Well, you don't have keep visiting the site to see if someone has left a comment on your mix, if there is a new di track available, if a new mix of your favourite track has been made, or if your friend has uploaded a new mix. If you subscribe to the relevant feeds, then you will get alerted via your RSS reader. This means you can switch off the email alerts and still stay in touch with what you want to know about.

Weekend update

2006-07-03T04:59:00.000-07:00

Well, apart from the trauma of the World Cup (at least for England fans) this post is a quick update on what's been going on in the world of YourSpins for the last few days. Last Thursday and Friday we were at the excellent London Calling exhibition in Earl's Court in London. We met many wonderful people there and saw a killer set from Glideascope. You really should go and see them if you get the chance.

Things were brought to a somewhat premature end by the screening of the Germany v Argentina game in the bar area - which meant that we were standing in a stuff, blacked-out room on one of the hottest days this year in the UK!

Also on Friday, we messed-up big time with our mailer programme. Read all about the sorry episode here:
http://www.yourspins.com/newforum.aspx?g=posts&t=174

We promise it won't happen again :-(

Big Big Mix Race

2006-06-29T01:03:00.000-07:00

By now you will have no doubt noticed that we are now running a fantastic new remix competition on YourSpins. The track 'Big Big Disgrace' by Glideascope has already proved to be very popular on the site, but we expect to see a lot more remixes soon as the best mix of this track will win an iPod Nano. All existing mixes of the track will be automatically entered into the competition- which will be judged by Glideascope himself. More details soon, but you have to be in it to win it - so get mixing!

London Calling

2006-06-27T03:39:00.000-07:00

If any of you are in the London area at the end of this week, the YourSpins team will be present at the London Calling exhibition at Earl's Court. We will be spreading the word about our little site and getting artists to compose tracks in the di format. So please come along to stand 205 if you are around. We'd love to put faces to some of the more outlandish avatars on the site!

London Calling: http://www.londoncalling2006.com/

Smileys are here :)

2006-06-27T02:14:00.000-07:00

At last we got round to designing some cool new smileys for the forum and chat on YourSpins. Please feel free to go around using the emoticons all over the place! ;-)

Getting the word out!

2006-06-23T09:00:00.000-07:00

Message for everyone out there in YS-land - give this a listen! Junglist makes some of the best mixes on YourSpins and this mix is no exception. A lovely sunset vibe to this slice of Brazilian music. Perfect for drinks at the end of another hot day!

We're back!

2006-06-20T06:55:00.000-07:00

Hi folks. We are back to normal again. Sorry about the downtime. We used the time productively here in the YourSpins office to get out into the sunshine for a little bit, but now we can get back to spinning! Kinath awaits your mixing skills... what are you waiting for!

Offline for an hour or so.

2006-06-20T02:27:00.000-07:00

We are in the middle of an unscheduled outage at the moment. Many apologies for this. We should be back online within 90 minutes. Please bear with us while we have the relevant people whipped to within an inch of their lives and then whipped some more.

New music from Brazil

2006-06-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

We have a new track ready to upload to the site soon. It's a piece of mellow, laid-back pop from Brazilian band, Kinath - called 'Beatrugged'. It's perfect for summer and we're sure you'll enjoy it too. This, however, is just a teaser of what we'll be releasing on the site over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more tunes!

Forums round-up

2006-06-13T04:51:00.000-07:00

It seems we have been having quite a few postings about YourSpins on various forum sites recently. Some of the postings have been interesting as they have a fresh view on what we are trying to do. Some of our favourites this week have been: "To me, music is a story. A "choose your own adventure" story is in the kids section for a reason."

Through the 1,000 mark

2006-06-08T06:50:00.000-07:00

Today we pushed on through past the 1,000 membership mark. This is a significant milestone for the community. A key part of this phase of development was to check that we could do all the bits we wanted to without crashed and disruption. It’s gone better than we expected, and although there are still a whole lot more features we want to develop and offer, we now know we can do that in a scalable way and without disrupting service. We’ve got to this point because of a lot of hard work by the team, but there is one thing that has really been encouraging for everyone and helped a lot, and that is the enthusiasm of people who have seen YourSpins and wanted to get involved. This includes artists, members, bloggers: so, a big thank you to you all – you know who you are. Let’s keep welcoming new people and keep making the site a great place to spend some time. We don’t want to look too far ahead, but there are some great acts coming…. the more music we get, the more members will come and the snowball will continue to gather momentum. So, for everyone whose enthusiasm has helped get this going, we will be aiming to please you by making a great site with a broad mix of great music…. Thanks

Mentor Kolektiv x2

2006-05-30T03:05:00.000-07:00

If you have installed the Windows Media Player plug-in, you may be interested to know that there is a new version available for download now from Music > Downloads. Please keep your plug-in up-to-date to get the most out of the di tracks on the site.

Many new tracks coming

2006-05-28T01:16:00.000-07:00

We've had a few questions about when there will be new tracks on the site. Well, we have a lot of tracks in production which will see the light of day very soon. As you can imagine, dealing with major labels takes a little time - but we will hopefully have some more very big names on the site soon. In addition, we are also talking to independent labels and artists such as Bonzai in Belgium and DJ Ariwave. If you are an artist or work for a record label and would like to see yourself on YourSpins, please email us on talk2us@yourspins.com

Are you using the WMP plug-in?

If you are using a PC, you really should check out the Windows Media Player plug-in for .di tracks. The online mixers on YourSpins are great (well, we would say that!) but there are several major advantages to using the WMP plug-in.
The plug-in offers all the music personalisation functions of the online mixers, but also offer enhanced audio quality & arrangement tools. Since the plug-in uses downloadable .di tracks, you can also make your mixes offline and most tracks even allow you to save your creations as an mp3 file. For free! How good is that?!

We will be making a plugin for Quicktime soon for all you Mac-heads out there (including me) - but in the meantime, Windows users should go here and start downloading .di tracks from the site!
