ON-Mix Media: the year 2008 in brief…

January 2008
New releases:

• Straight Component – Life Imitates Art [onmp083]

We’re still going strong. We managed to survive the new year’s festivities and shake our sober and sore heads to move on. We dreaming about the 100th release, should be possible this year.

February 2008
New releases:

• The End of Pleasure – The End of Data [onmp084]
• The Wipkip Society – Switte [onmp085]
• Spoiled Egg – Tanzschule Donnie [onmp086]
• Various Artists – Moments of iBuzz Pleasure 2 [onmp087]
• The Circadian Rythms – The Wheels of Poseidon [onmp088]

5 new releases this month, including the newly joined; The Circadian Rythms. Looking at the releases that lay ahead of us, we are now sure that the 100th release will take place this year.

We have a celebrated our 3 years as a netlabel.

March 2008
New releases:

• Stupid Bitch – Alien Puke [onmp089]
• Oilboy’s Aftersun – Can’t Sleep This Night [onmp090]
• Metamorphosis – Van Damage Experience [onmp091]

The day after the night before is glooming, we can’t stand the bright light. Celebration is over, all that is left is a giant hangover. We have given our website a fresh new lay-out.

April 2008
New releases:

• Resistranz – Silent Movie [onmp092]
• Spoiled Egg – When Terror Grabs You [onmp093]
• Various Artists – Mr. DeVo! presents: Work in Progress 3 (the future trax) [onmp094]

Rumours are that 7 Bandits are back in the recording studio. They’ve narrowed it down to 2 persons so far (Zero V & DJ PulseID). Slowly we are considering changing webhosting provider again. Since we have to pay for everything ourselves, cost is an issue.

May 2008
New releases:

• Pika Holzschuh – Calimero Was An Alien [onmp095]
• Practitune – Track, Trace, Kill [onmp096]
• Zinoeki – We 1T 2 Come [onmp097]

Our newsletter finally sees the light of day. A weekly issue.

Pika Holzschuh released the smashing hit album ‘Calimero Was An Alien’. The track ‘Salama Leika’ stayed on the number one spot for months!

The chats with people from the business – thanks Roberto Traxel – pays off in the website.

June 2008
New releases:

• Woopekken on Babbochjas – Making Love On A Toilet Seat [onmp098]

Behind the scenes the new website is being built to be launched at the new webhosting provider. We also chose a new component for all our music and video files. The transition of this has to be done by hand. There is no such thing as an import/export functionality.

July 2008
New releases:

• Mini Mouse – Shoarma met Spruitjes [onmp099]
• Various Artists – The Best ON-Mix Tracks according to Kodjax [onmp100]

Aaaaaah, this is it then! Number 100

Champaign…popping corks…laughing people…we did it! A month filled with problems, while switching from one to the other provider. But the new website is alive and kicking and we’ve released the 100th album on our netlabel.

August 2008
New releases:

• Ekim – Triple 10 Anniversary Mix [onmp101]

Okay people, move on, nothing to see here…

Since it all started with the release of Ekim’s Triple 10, we decide to invite some DJ’s & producers to remix this song, this ‘carte to posterity’, this brief moment of eternal sunshine…pffffffffff.

Download the darn thing and decide for yourself, we’re proud of it, no, no, no, let me rephrase this: we are proud of it!

September 2008
New releases:

• The Circadian Rythms – Our Pop Is Real [onmp102]
• Spoiled Egg – Sex With A Spoiled Egg [onmp103]

Our catalogue is quietly growing. It appears that the second half of this year is rather slow with new releases. The News- and Releaseletter are going fine. Thanks to a lack of time issue we’ve decided that we will only publish the releaseletter and occassoinally a newsletter.

October 2008
New releases:

• 7 Bandits – Dewdrops [onmp104]
• Duo Ohne Tempo – Stayeren [onmp105]

Just now and then we add or change a little bit of functionality on the website. It hasn’t been changed for a while now. There’s no need for it. We are very happy with the look and feel, the visitors and the response we get. Slowly we start working on the Past & Present release, scheduled for the end of this year.

November 2008
New releases:

• Buzzy Boys – Raaf [onmp106]
• The Radiator – Hummer Whore [onmp107]

A rather quiet month. We’ve implemented a Link-Exchange component. This way we can easily exchange links with friend, fans, family, partners, etc.

December 2008
New releases:

• Tramrail – Zijspoor [onmp108]
• Spoiled Egg – How Do You Spoil Your Egg (Retrospective) [onmp109]
• Various Artists – Past & Present vol.3 [onmp110]

The air is sizzling with excitement again. There’s a truckload of releases already planned for next year.

We are all looking forward to the next year, which is – again – going to be our year!
