Podcast anniversary – what next?

The Innotune podcast is one year old!

Today, September 16th, we celebrate the one year anniversary of our podcast. A year ago Marcus Schossow was the first artist to headline an episode of the Innotune podcast.

Here’s the highlights – in our own opinion.

In episode 003 we had the honor to feature the legendary producers Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren, aka Way Out West. Their mix is consisting of their own tracks only, with both old classics and material from their latest album “We Love Machine”.

For episode 005, resident DJ Thomas Sagstad was behind the decks. Enjoy the pumping house in the second half, as well as 30 minutes with Innotune selections in the beginning.

Innotune episode 008 had finnish trancer Darude in the mix. Listen or download this piece of fine EDM if you have’nt already.

And now, let’s have a look into the glass ball.

Who do you want to hear in the Innotune podcast in the future? Which DJ’s should we ask to be our guest mixers?

We want suggestions for interesting picks. Talents or established artists. But please make your wishes realistic.

November roundup

Another month has passed, and all of the Innotune vikings are busy decorating for christmas at the Innotune HQ. But before we stuff ourselves full of christmas food, candy, and viking aquavit – let’s take a look at what we brought you in November.

Marcus showcased the very talented producer Fredrik Ohr from Sweden in his post, and we took a look at a really facinating online production suite (?) called Hobnox. It’s absolutely worth trying out, and you can do so right here. All of the guys at Innotune were born among leather jackets and hairy guys; yes, I’m talking about the 80′s. And guess what, the 80′s are back stronger than ever. Endal showed us this by recommending Relation, a UK based duo making lovely 80′s synth-pop.

We caused quite a few discussions among people on forums and in social media this month (Believe me, we’ve had a LOT of discussions internally as well), and it all started with the fantastic Way Out West podcast that you can download right here.

The source of the discussion was that we received mails from some prominent labels that they mean a “podcast” is defined by Steve Jobs. In other words: Our extravagant, fantastic, fabulous, classy, trashy and smashing (yeah, we’re proud…) podcast was only to be distributed via iTunes. So we had to choose: Drop a very important label and risk to loose even more of them, or drop the mp3 download. Our mission is to bring fantastic electronic music to our listeners, and we need labels approval for doing so. So the result is that you now have to subscribe through iTunes, or stream it on mixcloud. All in all, it’s not what we wanted at first, but in the iTunes version you also get cover art, chapter markers, tracklisting and more. So go subscribe here.

Bring on December, we’re ready for you Santa Claus!
