if you guys didn’t notice, i added small changes here and there throughout the site for the past few weeks. i even experimented on new posting ways. On the remixes side of things, i experimented on the Lorde – Royal mix (minus the animated gif). I was trying to emulate the look on iTunes whenever you click on an album and the tracklisting slides down. And for posting of new tracks, we added the listening widget over the artwork. But I’m still doubtful with some of the experiential looks. So expect more changes in the new few days, weeks, months and years.
In terms of information, you will notice that each remix post is linked to an artist page. That whole section is a lot of work. But i have it all mapped out deep deep deep down in my cluttered brain. I already played on the design of the page (a lil). See the Katy Perry‘s one for example. I’m not really really feeling it. So the final look might change totally.
In some of our new posts, you will notice a “Do you know?” blurp at the bottom. Whenever there is an interesting information about the artist or anything related to the track, i will just add it in.
One big feature that EVERYBODY is looking forward for is the Remix Submission System. It’s going to be the main channel for remix uploads. It’s going to be divided to a few sections: The Archive (to feature remixes from the 80s till end of last decade), Bootlegs submissions (Amateur/Upcoming remixers who wants to get their work out there) and Mash Ups. The survival of “The Archive” and “Mash Up” depends you guys! Because we are doing it the crowd-sourcing way! For the bootleg submission part, since we receive tons of bootlegs a day, not all will appear on the main site. So this section will be home for those mixes. And also, I will need volunteers to help out with the moderation process to make sure no double postings or very very very shameless promos and non fake files/virus). Will put up announcement, when the system is almost already. All files uploaded on the site by you guys will be automatically be pushed our Sharebeast account. So everything stays central. I’m still in the midst of programming that part but hit a roadblock. Will try other methods.
Speaking bout Sharebeast, did you notice the Sharebeast thingie on the right? So now, you will know Sharebeast is up or not. Every remix uploaded will be on one of those servers. If you can’t seem to initiate the download once at sharebeast, you know why. But you can always come back and try again later. We check this every 15mins so you’ll be always be updated…
