Hello Rave Adelaide!! :)

I found this forum through the FiNRG website!

Well a quick introduction:
My name is John Nelissen. I'm from Stein (200km south of Amsterdam), Holland.
I'm an active HardDance clubber who met Proteus back in Dec. 2003. This became a turning point.
Since the Finnish freeform scene isn't so big, I try to promote it where ever I can.
At the moment Proteus, Alek, RX, CB ect. have a small amount of core fans in Holland.
In my ongoing quest to support my most favourite music, I recently
started to stream the music over the internet.

Since I stream from my home, I had to find a way to preserve bandwith for the moment.
I found it in using the latest Winamp with the latest SHOUTcast DSP plugin.
So if You like to listen to SonicRadio, You have to use the latest Winamp.
Or a player the supports the AAC+ codec (I guess ;) ).
The codec lets me stream @ 32kbps whilest sounding as good as a 96 kbps MP3 stream.

(My 'Now playing' image is generated through a PHP-script, which doesn't seem to work for this forum. :(
If u like to see it, You'll have to click or C & P it into a new browser page: http://sonic-xl.nl/public/sonicradio.php )


My goal is to stream 24/7.
In the future I would like to set up a horizontal programmed schedule:

As You can see, I plan on having DJ's to host a particular part.
So, whenever some of You are interested in hosting a particular part; let me know!
Because of the time difference he/she could prepare the show at local time and stream/send the show on a specified time?

Give me ur thoughts please.

Recent played.

And off cource;
when You would like to see Your mix played in my random playlist?
Just contact me @ [email removed]

Cheers!

Ok! Here's an update after 2 weeks:

Stream has been on 24/7 without having problems.
But still in testing phase, so sometimes a server reboot due to tweaking with settings and stuff. :)


Playlist has over 170 sets now (and still growing).
Forum has been added to the site to give support to both artists and listeners.

I'm thinking of making the live shows available through iTunes.
