Turntable Radio Fifth Year Anniversary line up

Just a quick update on the line up for TTR’s fifth year anniversary celebrations, following on from what was announced in the December podcast.
We’ve unfortunately had some more hiccups but also some recoveries. The main thing we’ve had to pull out of the schedule is the reunion show between Trick and myself, due to the fact that we had planned to do a show each looking back on our respective times at the helm of TTR only for me to realise that my archives of the shows I’ve done since becoming presenter are in a storage room in the UK, with no way for me to access them. So that show is indefinitely postponed, until I get my stuff out of storage. In addition we’ve also had to postpone a special contribution from Mr Henshaw, as he unfortunately had a hard drive crash with all his audio on there (spare a thought for the man as there was apparently five years worth of work on there, we hope he sorts it out cos we wouldn’t wish that shit on anyone).
However on the plus side we’ve managed to sort some previous technical issues and we’ve rescued the footage of D-Styles and Shortkut in Tokyo, including a video interview.
So as it now stands the fifth year anniversary podcasts will be as follow:
- April podcast with special reminiscing mix (this one takes the place of the reunion show)
- Turntable Radio Japan Session 2 featuring DJ Baku, Ken One, Naoki, Shige and Miyajima
- Turntable Radio Japan Session 2 videos
- D-Styles and Shortkut video interview
- D-Styles and Shortkut showcase at Vestax Extravaganza 2007 video
And last but not least as part of the anniversary celebrations we will be re-issuing the first 50 TTR shows as podcasts. That’s right, pretty much the entirety of our archived shows, which were originally and still are available in Real Media streams, will be made available as podcasts one at a time, starting in April. We’ll post the exact details of how these will be made available closer to the time but they’ll be available from the normal feed, likely at a rate of one every two weeks or so. So no need to rip the old Real Media streams anymore.
As for the other anniversary podcasts these will be made available over the coming months until September, likely at a rate of about one a month or so. Stay tuned for more information on each but you can expect the second Japanese session to be first after the April podcast.
So that’s it, as usual subscribers just have to sit back and wait for the content to land on their desktops, and for those who aren’t susbcribed yet then what are you waiting for? See the shortcuts on the top left corner of the site, or previous podcasts posts.
Oh yeah and look out for a little site redesign coming in the Spring too.
Peace
Laurent & Mr. Trick

Ah, nice to hear about the podcasts. RealAudio streams were a bit crappy quality, but still the only way for me to listen to TTR in Estonia. Can’t wait for the shows to show up in your feed.

I cant upload my shows at the moment as the only copies I’ve got are in storage and I can’t get to them for a while. When I do i’ll see about adding them. The first 50 shows will easily take us into the end of the year though!
