When this was posted 2 weeks ago, I tried to step up and do the hosting with Amazon's Cloudfront. 72 hours and 3TB later, I sadly acknowledged that I didn't have the checkbook size to properly meet the download needs. Since then, @datassette has moved hosting to Dreamhost and they're truly sticking by their unlimited bandwidth policy. So as much as we typically like to point out when DH is down or messes up, I think…

Why not use CloudFlare?

The style of music on the one that I downloaded didn't work so well for me. It was too airy and then there were some vocals.

I don't know what style to ask about. If I like to program to uptempo Jean-Michel Jarre and extended mixes of Blue Monday by New Order (the only track of theirs that I am aware that I like), what do I like and where can I get more of it?

I found out that I can program best to chillwave, ambient and/or electronic music, some recommendations:

- Sobrenadar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwsAnTzdCNs, http://absentfever.bandcamp.com/album/physeos

- СВ Хутор (no idea what that means): http://sv-hutor.bandcamp.com/album/ep

- Goldroom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKtJhYew4Hk

- Casa Del Mirto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSJ07Aa1W38

- Booka Shade, or some other DEEP house-ish stuff

- Warpaint, best consumed as live performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EWiY9xXrug

- TRUST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tc1xj7Nblc

- sloslylove: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IldogOjTxY

- Apparat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyZhzfgXHMk

- The National (his deep, deep baritone voice just keeps me somehow concentrated): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbFWAtFb18k

- Blonde Redhead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7FqUNlEdwA

I disagree. Datassette and Com Truise are seriously good music producers themselves. And I think both of them and Sunjammer have very good taste and listen a lot of music to be able to put together this kind of compilations. Pretty sure you can't find most of what they listen on iTunes. Matter of taste. Keep that in mind and you'll become more respectful.

I listened to all of them and it was commercial tripe. Keep that in mind.

Commercial tripe? Lol. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm just sharing some nice mixes some friends and I have put together for working to, and paying actual money to let you listen to them for free. Have a bit of thought before you mash your banana hands against the keyboard kthx.

a lot of wordless jazz for me.

Because the hosting has cost me over $200 and the affiliate links have brought in about $20 ?
