More geek stuff here. I’ve enabled a Pownce account which is a site created by one of my favorite geek guys on the web: Kevin Rose. Very inspirational person who’s done incredible things in the world of tech.

Basically it’s another social network avenue which I’ve also added into my Ping.fm account for easy updating.

So yeah, check out my Pownce page, and keep the votes coming for DJ Mag 2008 because it would be super.

So likely quite a few of you guys know I’m a pretty big nerd, as quite a lot of DJ’s and producers are, and I’ve finally got around to getting myself a Twitter account for status updates and the like.

To make it a little more worthwhile though, I’ve also been passed a beta account for Ping.fm which is great for updating all of your blogs or status’ through one simple medium, so I would recommend checking it out and finding someone with a beta code.

So there you go, check out my Twitter page, Ping.fm, and keep the votes coming for DJ Mag 2008 while you’re at it.

You may have noticed a bit of shuffling around with the sidebar graphics and the menu bar over the past few days, and it’s for good reason. Finally BOOM is available in enhanced Podcast format through the iTunes music store and multiple RSS feeds (not to worry, direct downloads will still be available).

The Podcast is available now and can be found on the BOOM section of the website or by running a search in iTunes.

As previously mentioned, the Podcast is available in enhanced format with images and chapters related to each song suited directly for your iPod, iPhone, or whatever type of media player you prefer. For more information on enhanced Podcasts, please visit the BOOM page for more information.

Feel free to let me know what you think of the new updates and the Podcast and as always, thanks for listening!

It’s that time of year again: DJ Mag Top 100 voting! Seems like I just finished clearing my inbox of last year’s newsletters and artist e-mails asking for votes, but it has indeed been almost a full year.

This past year had me traveling across Canada, the United States, and over into Europe to perform at such world class venue’s as The Docks in Toronto, Stereo in Montreal, Vinyl in Denver, and even 3 dates at Winter Music Conference in Miami. On the production side, I’ve had 3 remixes come out, most recently a vinyl release on AVA Recordings, as well as a monthly radio show on the trance channel of DI.fm. On top of all this I’ve also been managing successful record label AVA Recordings alongside Andy Moor, scouring the globe for the best tunes.

This year the voting is sponsored by digital download site Trackitdown.net, offering up a free track from their website worth (£1.49) and a free digital copy of DJ Mag! To take advantage of this great offer just place your vote and check your email for the confirmation which will contain more information. Voting is free and is relatively painless (save a few e-mails from DJ Mag over the coming months) and quite easy. Just head over to DJ Mag and cast your vote for your top 5 candidates.

Results announced at a glittering party in London on Wednesday 29th of October. Best of luck to all candidates this year!
