In my younger days when DJ’s still spun vinyl I spun vinyl in a very popular club overseas. It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot from some real professionals in mixing music along with improvising mixer music to help transition from song to song. But hey that was 20 years ago folks and I am at this point out of the loop. I go into clubs that the 20 something crowds are going now and I will be honest I think we had better dance mixes. But what do I know it’s a new generation. But I try to stay current with the latest trends in that I get to travel to a lot of countries and experience the music being played outside the United States.
I am struggling though to find enough “good” music that is not RIAA controlled to have a decent mix each show. If you have suggestions show me the way.
Music in Weed format isn’t RIAA controlled:

Most of the artists I link to on my site are independent musicians who I’m sure would give you permission if you just sent them an email and asked. Thats at Zero Transmission (http://zerotrans.blogspot.com). Also I host a netlabel only radio show called Squares Cubed (http://www.squarescubed.com) that features mostly Creative Commons/NetAudio music and again most artists would be glad to get the exposure on your poscast. Also check the following sites that list many netlabel sites with tonnes of links to independent artists:

Feel free to contact me about specific song/artist recommendations and I’d be glad to help you out.
