moving mixes 90% (have to move guest mixes like beukhoven as well as update pls and m3u)

Some life saving tricks for moving between hosts, in this case from powweb to dreamhost.

Recursively download everything except when you already have the file:

wget -r -nc ftp://usr:pwd@ftp.powweb.com/htdocs/mixes/

Re-assign certain users to posts because they have another user_id number now in the db:

UPDATE `wp_table_posts` SET `post_author` = 1 WHERE `post_author` = 2

2008

For my first post in almost a year, I’ve made a retrospective of this year’s releases. This mix contains tracks from all the records I bought that were released this year, excluding rereleases (except Renaissance). Conclusion: a good year for house, and I’m not talking about minimal electrohouse bollocks. Also some electronix and some (dub) techno in the second half of this 2 hour+ mix.

Tracklist

Hiphouse Megafestijn

This is it – the Hiphouse megamix that rocked the scene back in the days…

I remember there being a competition to try and select the three Hiphouse tracks that do not suck :-) well, this one is loaded with those kind of tracks.

Hardcore Hiphouse Never Dies!
