    New Grime Mixtapes

    Interesting. I need to get myself some of these. Is UKRecordShop.com a good supplier? I was just looking at their page for mixtapes - they seem to have a lot! http://www.ukrecordshop.com/shop/catalog/Mix_Tapes__Mix_CDs_UK_Garage__Underground_Mix_Tapes__CDs_page_1_c_306.html I seem to remember...

    Woofah issue 1: Reggae/Dubstep/Grime fanzine OUT

    I have been wanting this for ages but I can't bear to use paypal and hadn't been able to hack my girlfriends (could have just asked but where's the fun?) so I was very pleased to see I could get it from BoomKat so it is finally ordered. I wonder if BoomKat could setup a subscription for it? I'd...

    Twitter

    Not a single thread that I can find in the Search about Twitter or its rival Jaiku. No Twitter users here? While I simply can't find the time or inclination for Facebook (actually I am too old to care about that one) and MySpace is only mildly useful (to me) for exploring artists I have...

    Bandwidth at Dissensus

    In addition to preventing hotlinking disable the ability for people to upload - or even make it a (paid) subscriber only feature. No-one needs to upload into your site when there are so many free alternatives. Let someone else take the strain. Now that Pirate Bay is doing unlimited hosting of...

    Bandwidth at Dissensus

    http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/prevent-hot-linking.html A hot-linking is when some other site uses images hosted on yours. For example a.com has some pretty nice images. Then b.com decides that instead of hosting these images on their server, they can just link from their pages to the...

    Online forum moderation ethics

    (b) Politely tell the complainer to stop telling them what content they should or should not allow. Unless he can prove that the criticism is in some way illegal and offer him the chance of (c) Have it all out in public. That should keep him quiet. TBH tho having been a moderator I wish you...

    Am I right in thinking you allow people to host images? I am sure I have seen threads with links like dissensus/uploads/pic.jpg. These sorts of things can be killers and there are plent of alternatives - flickr, imgshack, etc. While its lovely of you to offer it here, if you do, then maybe...

    Why Dissensus?

    Part of my work is to deliver technical training. I attended an Institute of IT Trainers course where they said that use of PowerPoints and Demonstrations - i.e. passive audience were worse than useless. It certainly opened my eyes. I now deliver a five day technical training course with no...

    That film about Joe Strummer

    @ DRMHCP Perhaps I misunderstood the original post and perhaps my reply was a little simplistic for you Dissensus connoisseurs. I didn't come from a Rock background - I went straight from no real musical taste or preference into acid house. From the influences of certain DJ's - namely...

    That film about Joe Strummer

    More importantly than my first post ^^ mad props for that alone :)

    That film about Joe Strummer

    I'm not entirely sure I agree with that. During rave/acid there was a parallel "madchester" rock scene and after a heavy Thursday/Friday/Saturday of repetitive beats we'd often go to the Sunday indie discos (admittedly mainly for the cheap pints and student chicks) and it was also a time when...

    Mungo's HiFi - Scottish Dancehall

    Ideally I would have tacked this onto the end of the rolling Reggae thread but it got locked (tho bizarelly the Grime one didn't?). Anyway...for the reggae lovers. Mungo's HiFi - so good I just had to start a thread! Scottish Dancehall! I am CANING the ska-rootshall track Mungo's Hi Fi feat...

    Dizzee Rascal- Maths and English

    Ah cool! It's on DRM-free eMusic.com already! I thought this might just be on iTunes and DRM. http://www.emusic.com/album/Dizzee-Rascal-Maths-English-MP3-Download/11042409.html?cs=1 I just have one more day to wait until my downloads refresh!!

    Mix: Upbeat Summer Warmup 13-6-07 Soundclash.org

    I don't know if it is good form to post links to other people's mixes but the Soundclash.org sets are always excellent and not at all formulaic. This week the set kicked off with the new Lily Allen and Dizzee Rascal track. Download: http://www.soundclash.org/player/?playshowid=106 Playlist...

    /// c90 BASHMENT party - Fri 22/06 \\\

    If that was more local I would blow out the Shaka gig to go to it. Looks incredible. I need more Heatwave in my life. I daresay when we compare nights I will be more than a little envious!

    Dizzee Rascal- Maths and English

    Lol - they have been playing it in reggae sets as it has a skanky beat - it might not be grimey but I like it. I may tire of it quickly and Logan may roll his eyes in disgust and I might regret owning up. But I like it!
