DSoH #306 - guestmix by RAFAEL MORAES

Hi Lars, long time no write. I have been away and have been missing you show. I have been catching up with you show and noticed that the comments section have become a bitching forum ha ha ha!

I don't know if you realise what the music you play does to us. Deepershades has become an intergral part of our lives that is why some comments by others have seemed angry, we are addicted to the Deepness and an addict becomes irrational when he cannot get his fix.You Should come to South Africa next year(I am finishing varsity and will be working next year) so that we can personally thank you for the music.

Great show. You may have to start selling neck braces on this site, cause the beats are killing me!

Can't stop Lil Louis - Accept Me. 1 day on loop and counting.

When are we Canadians going to hear that Lars is going to be in town (specifically Toronto)?

Hi! Lars
DSOH is my life,love is the shows
I'm also expriencing the same problem, since show 303-306
all the shows plays 30min & restarted.
what r suppose to do to fix this problem.
I'm digging all the tracks on those shows they r deep.

Hi again Lars. I would to agree with Vroom Dog, this is my favourite show so far and have been listening to it over and over again. I have been listening to the show with my sony ericsson earphones that go right into the ear and the sound of the music has been incredible.

Thanks for the Deep sounds.Pretoria's number one representer.

thank you all for the very nice comments ..
I was just feeling it more for some reason .


regarding all the problems ..
if it takes longer than one hour to download a file, it will most likely time out and every other attempt will only download just as much as the first one .. you'll have to empty your browser cache, close out the browser and restart ..

Don't download anything besides the show / hour you want to hear.. basically, go and get a coffee to keep your already slow internet connection run smoothly (this is for my south african friends ..

if it still doesn't work, try downloading another day / time ..

best bet is also to subscribe to the podcast for the first hour . they download without any problems since they're handled differently ..

and of course.. I can always blow up the server resources if I have the sufficient funds .
Many of you have been donating recently and it's helping me a lot to pay for the server! ..


thank you,
lars

Lars,
Thanks for raising the level of professionalism in the scene.

Hey Lars,
i've the same download problem, that has been described by other listeners, although i've followed the downloading rules. This problem and the resulting discussion has also made me to think about it. Now i'll try to give you a little overview of my thoughts.
First of all i absolutely and all other listeners should agree with your point of view, that your show is a free service for almost seven years. It's you, Lars, that has made this possiple. Thanks a lot!!! In summary, it can be stated that your service is nearly perfect and that we only have this little download problem, which is only worth to mention because of the following reason.
While you want to reduce your server costs, we need to download your complete show, because we love to listen to it. This is the problem, that can't be solved, because it seems to be a loop. On the one hand we have to restart and restart the download, which raises the server costs because of the higher transfer. On the other hand there are people, which already have donate or want to donate in the near future, but the willing to donate suffers from the fact that they would also donate for the people, who will never pay. These people will always take your service as a gift and everyone else will pay their part of the bill. Despite this fact they will never get a bad conscience. So Lars don't be annoyed at these people, please, because it's a well known problem. For example many of us want to breathe clean air or bath in a clean ocean, but it seems, that there is the same problem as long as everybody has to pay for it.
My suggestion is, that we should download in a specific time period in our time zones. This could be between eight and nine o'clock in the evening for example and would reduce the probability, that there are to much downloads simultaneously.
Keep on the good work, Lars. I'am just thinking about the Roland TR-707 special. Thanks a lot and i know, that you will never forget to keep it deep.
The most important things will follow in German:
Ich wünsche nicht nur dir sondern insbesondere deiner Frau und deinem Sohn schlicht und ergreifend nur das Beste.
Deep regards, DeepDiffusion.

Lars!! awesome first hour!! keep on going deep like this!!

I agree with DeepDiffusion... Because of the fact that the mix loops when downloaded, we keep downloading and trying again which strains the server more. However I don't think many people will donate anything just because of this troubles.

Maybe make a special section for those that wants to give money to you and decide if there will be anything free for those that don't want to send you money Lars.

I normally check your mixes sort of regularly although only keep 40-50% of it depending if I like majority of the tunes or not. It needs 12 minutes to download, also tried at all possible times, with all other advices you gave, yet for some unexplained reason it loops once downloaded. I have sort of collection folder called Lars Behrenroth with your mixes and I forwarded your webpage to many people so "the move" can grow, and your name gets heard where I go. That's all I can contribute at this time.

Anyway I have been following your work for 10 years now, remember you since you played on German radios while I was in Europe, even won one of your cd's and also listening to u now while I'm residing in Australia. You have a nice taste in music and this webpage is a great place to promote yourself and that's how I see it, "Lars Behrenroth webpage" where we and other can see and hear your work, where the club owners can see how popular is the dj that they are employing and etc.
There is a lots of house music around the web, lots of choice, but because I "know" you from some time ago and you play what I like hearing, I stayed loyal.
You achieved quite a lot already and helped this type of music to be available and to be heard and that is indeed remarkable.

Anyway, all the best with your work, your company and its webpage

Hey everyone,
thanks for all the nice words and rather elaborate responses. I appreciate reading your thoughts of the matter.


BigJ, the download times in your case are the same as with previous shows but the files downloaded are not completed? Is that what you're saying?

Also, am I getting this right that the general consensus is "I won't donate to illiminate the server problems that cause incomplete downloads cause it annoys me that I get incomplete downloads"??? Hmmmm.
Or "I won't donate to support and secure the existence of what I love and listen to on a general basis because others who won't donate would benefit from it"??? also hmmmm.

Please keep it deep
Lars Behrenroth

Egads....what are folks yacking about?

I have never....ever....had any problems downloading any of the mp3's from Lars' site. I discovered Lars and his beats through iTunes initially...and moved to his site because iTunes wasn't up to date.

I don't know if BigJ was a plant to spark debate (big grin), but I'm not down with his reasoning behind folks not donating money....so I'm donating today.

BTW - I already tweeted this...but #306 - Guest Mix starting at 26:51 was just ridiculous... It was storm'n outside...but in my car...all 'sunlight'. :-D

Keep put'n the true deep stuff out there and I'll keep listening.
