Tribalmixes Newsletter:: 29 Apr 2011:: news + TM is 6 yo!!!

hello from tribalmixes.com! =) don't get gloomy, this is going to be fast and easy, just a short news update and some useful information in here, please, take a moment to read this.

most important, Tribalmixes Radio is being renamed into TM RADIO, please, change your bookmarks, the new website is https://www.tm-radio.com - it's on and working and streaming and some people have already tuned in. the page looks the same, but there will be alot of changes soon. radio will kick off in the nearest future, there'll be more shows, famous djs and alot of fun in general. the old radio website tribalmixes.org has been down for a while now, and will be available by the end of May.

Facebook is a big thing nowadays, all cell phones come with it, all sites have it.. well, we have it too now! so far it's just 'like/unlike' feature, but very soon new users will be able to register with their facebook credentials, avoiding the confirmation process and stuff like that. in the mean time, feel free to spread the word by 'liking' the site, becoming a fan of our page (nearing 2000 fans, check out https://www.facebook.com/tribalmixesdotcom and 'like' it too). you can find facebook 'like' buttons on main page (fan club link is below the vertical menu on the left), torrents page, new top20 page, and most of all - on any torrent details page. like this torrent - 'like' it on facebook, let your friends know, well, you know the drill...

another new thing - (graphical) torrent advertising. if you have shared a torrent and have a banner for it, or someone else shared the torrent, and you have a flyer or cover or any graphic for the 'event' represented by this torrent, feel free to go into torrent's details and press [PROMOTE THIS TORRENT] link on the right to start an advertising campaign for this torrent. 3 days long campaign produces about 100k impressions and is free, longer campaigns are going to require some immortal points from you. torrents are advertised on main page and in details of other torrents. torrent details page has been revamped a bit as well, extra info removed and design changed a bit - so feel free to check it (them) out. see all active/inactive banners right here: https://tribalmixes.com/banners.php

which brings me to my last announcement, and this one might interest you... i am planning yet another change in website's design, going to make it look contemporary, fresh, easy to use and all that... and so i am looking for help.. any creative people wishing to be part of the process on bettering their favorite site are invited to contact me and, maybe, help out sometimes. yet i don't have much free time myself, so this is not going to be a pressing fast development, but rather slow, stretched over months and maybe up to a year, i dont know yet the magnitude of the undertaking and how much help i'll get. generally i'd love to hear from designers, graphic artists, php/js/mysql/ajax programmers... again, there will be no pressure, maybe get to help out once a month or so, don't panic.. =) as a part of this project, DJ List should be made mode engaging, easy to work with, etc..

oh no, not yet! one last but most important thing: Tribalmixes BIRTHDAY is coming, it's 5th of May, and we're turning 6 years old!! i won't be spoiling the celebration by announcing the festivities yet, but one (yearly) event is to happen for sure: a collection of DJ MIXES recorded specially for this celebration. we've done it every year, and i believe this year is going to yield the grandest and greatest results!! all those mixes will be shared as single torrents and as a mega-pack, broadcasted on the radio, shared on other edm sites, it's a great thing and it will be BIG!! i am already receiving mixes for the BD, so don't wait for too long, send me your precious mix (a present for all of the community), and i will personally make sure that hundreds, maybe thousands of people hear it!! you can upload mix to any file-servers and send me a link, or upload mixes to our ftp server at ftp://ftp.tm-radio.com (copy this address into your file browser, not web browser, and click enter, then drag'n'drop the mp3 into that window).

until next week!!
yours, slash
