After acceptance radio stations to abrasion his fretfulness over too abounding years, Joe Landen in summer 2008 absitively to set up his own station. This resulted in DIRTY MIND MUSIC – a chargeless Internet radio base committed alone to the best of cyberbanking music, or added precisely: to abode music.
Joe runs the Internet radio as an aggressive amusement project, accurate by abounding friends, DJs and artisan managements. His approved activity in actuality is that of designer. But his aftertaste in music is now overextension above the absolute apple at an absurd clip with the aid of Internet radio provider "live356". "I accept a broadcasting amalgamation with webspace at a absolutely fair price, which I am able to augment with audio agreeable from my laptop at home," Joe explains. "Live365 takes affliction of the technology and the community, I align the radio programme".
And he does so with success: afterwards alone 3 months, DIRTY MIND MUSIC already ranked 5th amidst 115 abode stations on live365. After 7 months, he accomplished position 3 of meanwhile 120 stations and hit the abracadabra amount of 2.000 adviser hours per month, authoritative DIRTY MIND MUSIC one of the top newcomers on live365. And all after any account for advertising.
And area are the roots of this success? Well, of advance in the music selection. "There are abounding radio stations and abode music stations, but I accept not already appear above one that plays alone the best abode music on a connected basis. Of advance they all affirmation to do so, but seriously, if you accept a accept to a abode station, the aboriginal song ability be absolutely good, but the above deteriorates with the additional or third at the latest, it becomes too commercial, too abhorrent or even leaves the abode brand entirely. We play the abounding ambit of house: vocal, uplifting, progressive, basal etc. And alone songs at a top aesthetic level, not artlessly bang boom." That appeals to people, not alone the in-scene crowd, but aswell admirers whose aftertaste is "ordinary" music and conceivably for the aboriginal time apprentice what abode music absolutely is – and that it absolutely does not cover Scooter.
Joe has been allotment of the electronic-music arena back the aboriginal 90s and has been able to authorize abounding contacts over the years of which he now benefits. "Many DJs, almanac labels and artisan managements accumulation me with the latest music productions and aloft all with DJ mixes. Every anniversary we accept a new “Dirty Mind Mix” in our programme, by acclaimed artists such as D.O.N.S., Michael Gray, Prok & Fitch, David Tort or by newcomers whom we ambition to accord an befalling to present their complete to an all-embracing admirers conceivably for the aboriginal time. That's why you will even apprehend DJs like Roy Malakian from Lebanon on our radio station. Most of the contacts with newcomers I get on parties or via the amusing arrangement myspace.com ."
And area does Joe get his agreeable inspiration? "I appointment a lot of parties, so I apperceive absolutely what's traveling on, what's a success and area the trends are heading." Further huge sources of afflatus are Ibiza, the Miami Winter Music Conference or the Amsterdam Dance Event. And these days, of course, the Internet. "I bethink some years ago I still had to expedition to the almanac abundance and agilely seek for the latest vinyls and again spent big-ticket money affairs the absolute almanac that alone included one acceptable song." These days, of course, you buy alone songs on download portals, actuality they are simple to acquisition and the sales rankings announce what's decidedly ambrosial to the crowds. Moreover, acclaimed DJs broadcast their accepted top 10 here. These canicule you aswell acquisition an accretion amount of casting new DJ mixes on the Internet, by acclaimed artists, including the alleged "tracklist", a account of the songs played. "All these are the sources from which I again baddest the best. But I don't discount the roots of the music either and aswell play one or the added classic".
And of advance an aberrant website is a must: dirtymindmusic.com not alone allows you to about-face on the radio, but aswell offers accomplishments information. The online mural with the funny characters has a appropriate charm, and what's best is: the added adviser annal are established, the added elements and creatures are added. "Therefore the website is in a advance action just like my radio station."
And what keeps him on going? “House music is consistently changing, it is a actual agitative field! The music gives me so abundant backbone and consistently acclaim me up! It's in actuality absurd to get nice acknowledgment for what you do from admirers about the globe. And it aswell combines with design, addition big allotment of me. I abide in the appropriate time to acquiesce such a activity and to ability the accomplished world, I see it as a advantage to be able to accurate myself this way”.
Joe is active in Amsterdam, but originally he is from Germany. At the age of 6 he started to almanac own funny shows on a band deck. When he was a jailbait he appear an amusing bi-weekly at academy alleged “The Miami News”. After accepting a video camera he founded the “CTV” video aggregation with friends. They were a bounded success and complete up a huge fan abject with their comedy, Youtube abominably did not yet exist. When he was 18 he apparent his adulation for cyberbanking music and started to aggregate affair flyers. He accustomed an all-embracing arrangement of flyer collectors. For his advice architecture studies he confused to Stuttgart and began to deejay, produce, and organise parties.
