Boost.FM Looking for some Kiwi DJS!
So here goes...
Basically Boost.FM is a underground net radio station and we stream 24/7. The music usually played is House, Trance, Breaks, Minimal, Techno, Hardcore and other Electronic Dance Music. We use Shout cast and also have our own flash players, and currently on our BoostFM.TV website you can tune in via the PS3 to the station (we also put in a visualizer so that it doesn't cause too much burn in for those who listen for extended periods of time). We hope in the next month to also have our video stream working as well to all OS's so DJS can broadcast a video feed of them mixing if they want.
We are only new been up and running since August last year. We have 30 DJs in our line up but only a hand full from Australia and NO KIWI DJ's! The rest are based in Germany, the UK and the USA. Now granted I live in AU, the fact is I'm a Kiwi still and Id love to get some kiwi djs playing.
We run off shout cast so all you need is to install EDCast (PC) or Nice cast (MAC) to stream to the server... We offer a 128 & 56kb stream to listeners, so your connection only needs to be capable of upload speeds of around 130kbps (13Kbs). Which shouldn't be too hard if you have ADSL1 or better.
You can play using your decks like all our DJS to and just hook up a line out from your mixer to the line in on your computer and your home and sorted.
If you are keen to jump on board and play on Boost.FM then shoot me a message... go check out the site, Boost.fm and tune in see if we are right for you or not.
Some tech info: When you book your slot on the server you can book anywhere from 1 hour to 5 hours of airtime, the server will log the listener counts for you and give you a pretty graph so you can see how you fared with the listeners. We also have an automated feature for recording and setting mixes available for download, which is available at the push of a button once you use our Broadcaster area... the server will record the mix to mp3 and tag it to your DJ profile. You can then set if you want it to be included in re-runs, available for download, or just hidden for the time being. Boosters (our members) can comment & vote on the mixes only once they have downloaded them or if they are playing live on air.
So if you are interested, hit up our site and click the Become A DJ link at the bottom.
