quantumRadio

Well it’s been a fun six years (seven if  you count N-Gage Radio).  But it’s coming time to close the book on quantumRadio.

Overall the site has been a success in the fact that it was my first foray into maintaining a site all on my own.  Now it’s time to skip to the next step, building this into a viable self-sustaining community on the web.  As the way I actually directed quantumRadio, this is not possible.  but as a new site with completely separate goals it is possible.

So let me introduce you to the name of the site that will be replacing quanumRadio.  It is Renegade Music, as the name may suggest the site will not be conforming to any set standards.

The whole point of the new site is for the content to be generated by the users.  Where as the point of quantumRadio was for the content to be generated by me and the handful of volunteers.  As we have tried to change the direction of quantumRadio over the last two years we failed to grasp at the fact that we already have a set user base and that user base has diminished over the last few years.

The plan is for quantumRadio to shut down by the fall of 2011, we will see a few new sessions created in this time and we may see a change in the ultimate fate of quantumRadio.  quantumRadio will however remain in a locked state if we do go ahead and close down, this will be for archival purposes.

Anyways, it’s been a great run and I’ve learned a lot and hope to learn a lot more in the future with Renegade Music.

So signing off,

DJ Dark.

So, it that time again, I’m working on redesigning the site.

Please check the escape from reality blog for more information.

This means the session is going to have to wait.

Yes,

You read the title correctly, we are back baby!

We haven’t changed our focus, we are still primarily a dance music site.

Expect a new session soon!

So I’m still working on the summer session so hold your horses.  I might start up with the original qR plan this weekend.  That is eRadio.

I’ll post back as soon as that happens.

So the latest session is still planned.  I’ll release it in a few weeks, it’s not going to follow the regular flow of being a Euro dance session, it’ll have other eletronica genres mixed in too.  I seriously have to breath new life into quantumRadio.

Please if anyone is willing to volunteer their time for quantumRadio please send in an application.  (You can find the info in this post.)

So I think I should make this post before qR dies again…

I’m looking for volunteers to post entertainment related news articles, cd reviews and possibly a podcast of weekly/monthly entertainment events.

You don’t have to post specifically about dance music, it can be any genre, except country.

You can even post about TV, Movies and hell even games

So if your interested you can contact me, DJ Dark at djdark@quantumradio.net, please include the following details: (continue reading…)

Sorry about there being no news posts or even posts relating to qR the past few weeks, been busy.

I should have the new session ready for this summer, if not, well like I said, no regular release schedule anymore (though we never had one before.).

Okay, we’re completely back online now.  The sessions, with the new feeds, are on iTunes now

It was a challenge to upload them all.  In the next few days I’m going to add a player to the right hand side of the site (most likely to the welcome message box).  So if you don’t want to download the sessions you can just listen in your browser

EDIT: Feeds are up, adding to iTMS now.

EDIT: So we’re back, finally… So Later today or tomorrow I’ll post the links for the feeds, right now I have to finish setting everything up.  But damn it’s good to be back!

So I was planning on, and pretty much did, kill quantumRadio.  Fear not as I’ve reversed the decision!

Anyways I’m changing the general format of the site around, it’ll be more about blogging music news and stuff instead of the sessions, though don’t worry we’ll still have session, that’s the main reason why I re-launched qR

I’ll be uploading all the sessions later this week, and an all new Euro session by the end of March.

And the reason I decided to re-launch quantumRadio is because of the song Master Blaster – Everywhere.  Inspiration, gotta love it.

Also note: the old feeds for the sessions will not work anymore, I have no plans for fix this.
