Buffering Issues

Sean — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 20:27:25 +0000

Unfortunately there’s an issue going on with the stream. Its due to a bad routing issue between our main server and the relay. Since its not part of our datacenter or part of our ISP we have to wait until someone notices it to fix it.
I’m hoping that things will be fixed soon. In the mean time if you can’t handle all of the choppiness you can try the lower bitrate streams which are fine.

One of my favorite Bonobo tracks put to a nice video

I really like these viral videos. People rarely realize how much they actually hear Downtempo music, even if they say they don’t listen to it, they’ve heard it. If you listen carefully, its everywhere…from artist videos like this to documentaries, video games, to that big pharma commercial for that magic pill. Well anyway enjoy this one.

How’s this for a Buzzoutroom???

I’m quite glad things have stayed up over the last couple of weeks while we’re touring Asia. The station had a rocky start as 2 days into the trip it went down but thanks to some very non technical people….things are back up;-)

Thought I’d send you a shot. This here was taken at the Marble Mountains near DaNang Vietnam.

We’re off to Tokyo tomorrow for a couple of days so if you have any reccommedations. Chill clubs or cafes who would get into our vibe let me now!

New Tycho Album out today!

Sean — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:55:29 +0000

And YES its finally here after a nice Hiatus from his last album. Tycho is out with a new project. I was speaking with him the last time he was here in Toronto and he was mentioning that he’s “doing the finishing touches” on it….that was 2 years ago! I’m not complaining.
Its no secret that I’m a big fan of Tycho. Listening to his music is like waking into an old 70′s living room with shag carpet and cranking the thick wood grained floor standing speakers while relaxing in an egg chair

If you’re in the east coast there is a little tour where you’ll be able to see Tycho perform all the tracks with a live band at these locations

You’ll be able to purchase a digital download as well as pre-order the vinyl here

Keepin her goin…

As I sit here on the dock listening to the station I’m glad things are still going. Thanks for the support we’ll be going for a wee bit. Greetings from Lake Muskoka. Have a great weekend listening to the station wherever you are in the world!

Cheers,

Sean

Sunday Shutdown Cont’d

Sean — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 20:43:38 +0000

Your comments have been amazing Thank you. With comments like this its very hard to shut things down.

So I’m going to keep the servers running for at least another week while I figure this out. One of the reasons I’m shutting things down is that obviously there is a lot of time which needs to be invested but there are also costs involved with the hardware, bandwidth, and licensing the latter being quite difficult to manage. The server is on its last legs and I don’t have the resources to get another one.

So enjoy the next week with the station. I’ve added a lot of new tracks that have been submitted to the station over the last month from some great artists.

Cheers,

Sean

Sunday Shutdown

I’m taking requests on what you’d like to hear for the final hours of the Buzzoutroom. I’ll have some new tracks and some old favorites.
Just leave them in the comments box.

Shutting down – and new website

Sean — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:43:37 +0000

Well since I’m shutting down the stream I may as well show you the new website I was working on.

Unfortunately I just to have time to run the station anymore.

I will be keeping the site up and using it as a news forum for Chillout…perhaps you’ll see us again one day.
