Enjoy the music, share your voice.

Launched in December of 1996 at the beginning of Web 1.0, Netmix.com was the first mix show Web site to feature the world’s most influential electronic dance and hip-hop DJs, in the mix. The company’s founder, Tony Zeoli (DJ Tony Z.) retired the mix show format in 2003 and relaunched as a DJ culture, music and technology blog.

We are looking for people from all over the world, passionate in the dance and DJ culture  to contribute their thoughts, photographs, and videos over the next 365 days, with the goal of remaking Netmix into one of the top DJ culture destination on the Internet. 

You will be given a user name and password to the site and you’ll be asked to contribute at least once a week on topics such as these:

• Artist, Music, Event Reviews
• DJ and Production Products and Technology
• Internet sites that serve the DJ culture community
• Web, mobile product development best practices for the DJ community
• Review of Internet radio stations and DJ mix shows online and off, which is important…we don’t want to forget about offline too!
• Videos and photos from nightlife establishments and parties around the world
• Coverage of music conferences
• Podcast interviews and/or music downloads and possibly Netmix Online Radio, which can be developed over time.

What kind of music:

Netmix is foremost a DJ culture environment. House, Trance, Techno, Drum n Bass, Hip-Hop, Electronica, Downtempo, Acid Jazz are all formats we embrace. Bring on some French, Indian, Japanese or Brazilian hip-hop…world beat is something we also want to cover. Anything that tows the line between dance and rock is fine too. We generally lean new, but if you want to post 100 YouTube videos of classic house and hip-hop tracks on a page, it’s your world.

Requirements:

You should have excellent written and communication skills, social networking and be good with technology, as you’ll be posting content from your iPhone, manipulating photos and editing video footage. You might want to know a little HTML and CSS. 

Incentives: 

Whether you are looking for college credit or jump starting your career, writing for the blog would be a unique type of writing sample that you would have to add to your portfolio- that in which you can show future employers for internships, jobs, etc. With social media on the rise, employers will find it fascinating and impressive you have contributed to a blog in the past. 

Currently, the site generates incremental revenue, but not enough to pay anyone just yet. 

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor and help grow Netmix into an internationally respected brand. Here you can learn to advertise and affiliate valuable relationships to last your entire career. 

Please send your resume with brief introduction, links to all your relevant social profiles, a writing sample and links to any images or video you’ve shot in the past 3 to 6 months at events around the world.

On August 19, elodieO is set to release “Stubborn,” her first full length EP from her self-titled record label. The set is available for pre-release at iTunes. Take a listen to elodieO’s sound, a mix of 60’s Nico-esque pop with 90’s golden era trip-hop and down-tempo on her MySpace page.

On “Crazy,” elodieO delivers a halting, sensual vocal over a chunky down-tempo beats, backed by lush electro sounding synths played softly throughout the track. Perfect chill-out music for a candle lit, romantic encounter.

The original version of “Le Mer” has a break-beat flow, with elodieO’s sweet, soft, French language vocals distributed across the tracks hook, building a sense of urgency and even a bit of despair.

Since we don’t speak French here at Netmix and we don’t have a sexy, French translator hanging around the office, we can’t really tell you what she’s saying. You’ll have to interpret it all yourself. With French being the language of love, it shouldn’t be that hard.

Even if you can’t translate, don’t run out to purchase that Rosetta Stone language kit from your local mall just yet. The sounds are smooth and easy on the ears. So much so, that we’re fairly confident it won’t much matter if you’ve playing it on your bedroom iPod dock. Better yet, you can head down to Nublu for elodieO’s show on July 26th. Maybe you’ll hook up with someone there who will translate for you in exchange for a $2 beer.

For DJs, remixes are available from Doublestandart, Zeb The Spy of Cairo and Aaron Johnston of the Brazillian Girls.

Thanks for Caitlin Jones of Two Ships That Pass for passing (of course, no pun intended here) along the Zeb remix of “Le Mer.” Click on the play icon below to listen.

So, you’re probably asking: who is elodieO? Well, according to Caitlin, her publicist, elodieO is Parisian by birth. She’s been a “staple of the New York City LES/Nublu electro scene that nurtured Kudu and The Brazilian Girls.”

If you’re not familiar with Nublu, it’s a tiny, hole-in-the-wall space in the East Village, which is becoming the defacto launch pad for many of today’s eclectic New York electro artists. The space consists of a bar on one side of the room and a banquet on the other side. There’s no stage. People simply make a semi-circle just wide enough to fit the bands equipment. It’s a pretty raw experience, which is what makes it seeing artists there so appealing.

On this EP, elodiO composed and arranged all the music with the exception of two re-arranged songs by Serge Gainsbourg and The Cure.  Aaron and Jesse of the Brazilian Girls have a hand in the project as well.

We hope you enjoy! Au revoir!
