I just did a segment with my DJ/Production group on a local rock station that will be airing tonight in Springfield MO for a show called "Rock Talk" (Which focuses on local artists)

Anyway, they will be airing my Feel Good Inc remix, along with a Beastie Boys/Vibe Tribe mashup I did.

The segment will go up on a local music site called thefourfour.com, so I'll make sure to link that up as soon as it's there.

W00ts! Also, I decided to restructure my website from the ground up.. so that should be up pretty soon as well.

EchozAurora.com

So yeah.. finally got around to making a website.

And yeah, I know it kinda sucks now. I'm working on that.

However.. anyone interested in lending their graphic design, coding, etc. skills to the project?

Or just ideas even. I've got a basic knowledge of HTML... I'm just a big pile of nubsauce and thus there are many other people that could do a lot better job I know.

Regardless...

I'm considering even prossibly doing a few design contests. Obviously I'd reimburse in some way. Permanent link back in affiliate section, signed demo mixes.. fun lil things like that, maybe even a bit of cash... (Plus I'd obviously get ya in free if I came to DJ by you and you came out)

The idea I have is... an art contest for site graphics.. header image, backgrounds.. etc.

A coding contest that incorporates the winning graphics into a nice, functional, attractive layout.

A voice acting contest for new vox intros, etc.

And who knows, maybe even some sort of music contest, although I'm not sure what I'd do yet.. as I'm working on upgrading the site... not looking for music.

However, I'm sure there are other NG related music contests in the tubes.

I'm just planning a major upgrade to the strategy of marketing my DJing and such whilst I work on my production on the side. It'd be much better if I passed along things like this to people that loved doing it and were experts rather than me spending all my time attempting to sort out code instead of looking for new music and working out new mixes... tracks.. etc.

So yesh.. people interested?

And before anyone even asks, the reason I'm asking this here aside from anywhere else is that I'd much rather help other NG users gain exposure, a lil fannish gear.. who knows.. than toss it out in the intertoobs for a bunch of random people to mess with.

Feedback pl0x

Here's what I have so far.

What do you all think? I'm not quite sure what to do with it really at this point.. but I'm thinking about adding more parts.. melodically that is.. I think the percussion in this is pretty well covered lol.

THERE WILL BE A ZEROBOMBCAST TONIGHT..

Will start at 10:30 NG/EST. So TUNE IN

Sowwy guiz... but I already promised my girlfriend weeks (if not over a month) ago that I'd go see the new Harry Potter movie with her when it came out... and it just so happens to be on a Tuesday night.

I'll try to make it up with some sort of awesome broadcast laters.

Here's my first attempt at doing sparkler poi. I thought it looked rather badass, although I've now figured out how to do a longer burn time, so I'll try to do a much better one and post it tomorrow. Anyway, for now... enjoy.

Also, awesome new psytrance in the works again... I'll try to have a preview up by the end of the week.

I'VE GOT A TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT PC. YAAAAYYYYY.

Thus, I'll be able to DJ again.. I imagine I'll be mostly back to speed by the weekend.

A METRIC FUCKTON OF MUSIC I NEED TO REDOWNLOAD THOUGH... GAAAAHHHHH

Including my retarded massive archive of NG music I've built up over the time I've been doing RG broadcasts and such.. SADDD FAAAIICCC.

But, at least I'll be able to get back to DJing, and then production relatively soon. And that is what's important for now.

Also... I filed a police report earlier.. so hopefully something will show up.

I was DJing a party Saturday night with DJ Sketch and we had to leave my PC and monitor there because we didn't have a way to get it all home. The homeowner promised it'd be alright and said they'd lock everything up, but someone broke in and stole a bunch of stuff.. musical equipment.. and my pc and monitor.

Neither are worth a whole lot.. the specs on the desktop were minimal.. it had only a gig of ram, and about 150 gigs of HD space spread across two drives. It ran on XP Service Pack 2. There's even a dvd drive, just a cd tray. Also, it has (at least had) a wireless keyboard/mouse adapter sticking out of a port in the back. The IBM monitor is a late 90's model, with a weird stand and integrated speakers, with one cover missing.

Sooo... yeah.. the Zerobombcast will probably be on hiatus again for a good while. It really pisses me off, because I finally got moved into the new apartment and (would) have good internet access that is more than reliable enough to start doing regular broadcasts again.

Also, I was working on some brand-new Goa and Psytrance (MY FIRST FUCKING GOA TRACK EVER) which was also on the pc, and isn't backed up anywhere.

Anyway, if anyone somehow runs into it (if you live near Springfield MO.. most likely) or has a decent PC or laptop they'd like to donate to my production and DJing, you'll get into any show I DJ for free, and get any future releases for free as well, regardless of if they go to a label.

YES. IT'S BACK.

What the fuck is the "Zerobombcast"?

Yes. I thought you might ask.

The Zerobombcast is a broadcast on the NG-related site Radiogrounds. This broadcast features exclusively a mix of Newgrounds Audio Portal tracks submitted in the past week, and is every Tuesday night at 10PM NG time (EST).

I do live DJing and talk, make fun... etc. of what is playing... along with occasionally pointing out voting trends I notice as they happen on the site, leading up to the new Weekly Top 5, which I broadcast at (or around) midnight to end the broadcast. (Unless people want to keep listening and I want to keep DJing music lol)

Anyway, even if you have no idea what I'm talking about... or if you used to be a regular listener...

Make sure to tune in tonight and check it out!

Lots of shit for me to do in the next couple months...

But hey, why not share?

As a next step in my whole EchozAurora project... I'm planning on doing a major reconstruction of my myspace, NG page (somewhat.. there's not a ton I can do here aside from swapping in new artwork), facebook stuff... and... also finally making a website for mah stuff.

However, I'll also be moving.. so I've got no idea how fast or in what order any of this is going to happen.

Plus, as I'm working on the new interweb face of all the stuff I do... I'll be working on a major technological upgrade of sorts.. trying to get new stuff for production, djing, and.. well.. whatever the hell I feel like messing with. Woo.

Progress:

Newgrounds page: I made a newspost! lolz.

EchozAurora.com- Registered, but I haven't even started on designing the site.

Facebook Page- The EchozAurora page is mostly updated, still need to scan an ID to verify myself.. bio is almost completely done, discography is more or less done.

EchozAurora@Myspace- Umm.. I posted this week's show! But have yet to work on the redesign whatsoever.

Twitter- I FINALLY GOT A TWITTER! Follow me!

A big-ass pile of other random sites.. such as Indaba, purevolume, etc... - Yeah.. yet to even think about fucking with those really.
