Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

it seems like online radios aren't really the in thing anymore... seems like its more podcasting, etc where people can listen at their own free will. sorry things didn't work out for dimensional radio. i supported it some time back before our dear friend had to go overseas and support his country. no shame in that. there are more important things in life like supporting yourself and your family than dj'ing or hosting a radio site.

senor collins - there are still other ways to get that set you made out and about for people to listen to... like podcasting.

edm is a dodgy scene anyways and not exactly known for its stellar business practices, while the house scene isn't nearly as bad as the drum n bass scene in this regard, its still pretty awful, and when you deal with things on online-only terms it perpetuates this. Sorry to hear d-radio got canceled, but things like that happen.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

Ok people here is the deal, right from the owner:
I created Dimensional Radio a few years ago mainly to promote myself and other local (Pensacola FL) DJ's and give them all a chance to be heard on a web based radio station around the world. The first few months went by slow with little support but then things began to pick up. I had big name DJ's sending me promo mixes to get aired on the broadcast. People like: The Low End Specialists, Tony Estrada, Simply Jeff, Filo & Peri, Blake Jarrell, Serge Devant, Gabriel & Dresden and many more. Well for those of you who dont know, its hard to get big name DJ's to send you mixes especially when your a really unknow website/station but somehow it all worked out.
Think this sounds good right?
Well it was in a way, but the real reason for creating this site was for Unknown DJ's to get their mixes out not Superstar DJ's to play. Well here is the problem. Pensacola doesnt support shit!! 90% of the so called DJ's in this town dont support anything unless they are the ones playing or its their best friend. No wonder why the scene is dead around here.
I tried and tried for the longest to get something going and it didnt happen so I moved on to helping other DJ's from around the globe get their names out to people. Finally some support!! Now the site/broadcast start to take off. I had an average of 10-15 listeners per day and for those of you who dont know thats pretty damn good for a new online broadcast!
Things were going good until I made the decision to join the Military, so of course I had to shut this project down, hell I was gone for months and couldnt take care of it. This was the 2nd time it had went offline, the first was because my son was born and for the first year I didnt do shit except spend time taking care of him and work. Well now the 3rd and final time has come to end it all for good!
Why?
Lack of support mainly, not to mention I work a fulltime job as a Firefighter, I own my own Lawn Care business plus I am still in the Military so I really have No free time to do anything not to mention this site has cost me $15 per month out of my pocket for hosting and other expenses plus having to try and make time to host shows on the broadcast. Its hard by yourself!!
Now for all of you who say you support, explain to me this:
Why did 99% of you never join the Dimensional Radio forum and be active in it?
Why didnt most of you take a banner or something and stick it in your Sig on forums or put it on your Myspace page?
Why didnt you send in mixes to be aired for people all over the globe to hear?
Why did those of you who did take banners and use them only promote the site if and when your mix would be on?
No answers huh?
I tried people but when you have no support things fall apart, I cant do it all alone!
For those of you who did back me and help me on this (very Few), THANKS!
For those of you who have negative things to say about me or my site I created, get a life!
To all the DJ's who had shows on the site, I am sorry it can no longer go on. I apologize for no earlier warning..

sounds to me like he just set it up,payed the bills and expected everyone else to do all the hard work to make his station what he wanted it to be

$15 a month for that really aint alot of money imo, if i could get that kinda service for that kind of money over here i would do 1 myself

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

exactly what he DIDN'T do. Maybe if I were told a week or so before hand I wouldn't have gotten so bent out of shape.

I'm going to put the mix that would have been up on there in the promos section as soon as I can. It's a nice mix for summertime fun. I tend to change my styles as the seasons change.

Having said that, I will personally thank TomTom from the bottom of my heart who has put way more heart and soul into MercuryServer than the entire team put together. He single handedly pulled off the launch of Mcast, the MS 5th year B'Day and the MS Contest having put in more than 3 - 4 hours of work each DAY.

Kudos to you Tom.

Damn, tom tom is the man. Appriciate the intense effort. I've discovered heaps of great music bcuz of u

That guy busts his ass for this place. And tons of respect for that.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

I still can't believe this guy is getting ripped by you guys for running an internet radio station for no one's enjoyment except your own.

I'm starting to see why he packed it in, you're all a bunch of c*nts to him when he poured all his spare time in to running a non-profit radio station for you guys

[jeffrey collins]

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

No, as you can see, he might have paid for it, but did almost NONE of the promotion, expected everyone in Fla to do his promotion for him along with the dj's on the show. Of which I did a ton of promotions all over myspace and on every music forum I am on.

You wanna call someone a cunt, go look in the mirror.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

OK... so he sat around doing nothing all day while he reaped the "rewards" of running his booming empire.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio



But I do see Jeff's point in that the guy should've communicated with the artists first - that would've been the most professional thing to do.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

i think closing the site down got the message across. lol.

[jeffrey collins]

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

Yes, that was VERY unprofessional. And I'm sure the other dj's that were on there....i don't think there was many, but i'm sure they are a bit pissed off about it. Me...yeah truly because I was trying to do on a smaller scale what digweed does every week. Bring in an hour of me spinning and then an hour of an up and comer that i thought was good.

Oh well. Things like this happen in life...we just need to move on and learn from our past.

Re: I just found out that I was cancelled from Dimensional Radio

Jeffery, dude you are the biggest bitch I have ever met. You didnt do shit really to help the site out. You never posted on the forum, you never really promoted the site until it was the night of your show and you didnt support the other DJ's/People associated with the site. You act like you work soooo hard to do a mix and have it aired, give me a damn break! If it was such a chore then you shouldnt have asked to do it! None of the other people bitched about the site closing, they all know how hard it is to do something with little or no support and support my decisions with the site. Try working 2 jobs, serve in the military and raise a 4 year old then try to run a successful radio website and tell me how it all goes.

$15-20 a month may not sound like alot but when your basically blowing it for no support what good does it do? I sure want getting any support out of it personally, hell I never hardly even put my mixes up just so others could have the spotlight.

Last but not least I never expected anyone to do the promotions for me! I posted shit all over the internet about all the shows and website info and gave alot of info by word of mouth so where you got the notion I expected everything your way wrong!
