Network issues - Cut Cables (updated) 
I know there's some network buffering going on right now. Looking into things and will keep you posted.

Update:
There is a huge fiber cut in the NYC area that is affecting much of the Internet for the Northeastern United States. Unfortunately this cut is between The Buzzoutroom and the relay server. The latest ETA we have been given is 1-2 hours, assuming no other complications arise.

In the mean time I'll put the 128k Server back up but it will be buffering until its fixed.

The 64k http://www.buzzoutroom.com/listen64.pls
and 24k http://www.buzzoutroom.com/listen24.pls

Update #2
It seems that Level3 Networks had enough Scotch Tape to connect the wires and after about 20hrs of buffering things are back up and running fine.
Remember kids...Call before you dig.


Grrrrr....

"Bonobo - Black Sands" New Release and Tour 
Bonobo decided to stop doing the whole DJ thing and decide to go to live instruments and live shows. That was a couple of years ago...well several in fact. The last project was "Days to Come" in 2006 and it was great. The next one out is "Black Sands" due out the end of February and I'm reeeeeley looking forward to it.
Fortunately you can get some good previews of the next tracks at www.bonobomusic.com along with the tour schedule starting April 1st in Chicago.

Oh what the hell, here's a good clip with some nice breathy vocals. See you at the show.
Cheers,
Sean

Four Tet - There Is Love - New Release 


Keiran Hebdan has just released a new Four Tet project called "There is Love" along with a new tour and you can have a listen for yourself before its released! Four Tet has put the release on SoundCloud for streaming.
I'm listening to it right now and finding myself reaching for the volume to make it just a wee bit louder every couple of minutes. So far so great.
Update: Very great. So clean...yet dirty.

You can have a listen for yourself HERE

You can also check out the Tour dates here. No Toronto Date!? Hmph. For those of you who haven't seen him yet, the sounds which he can create live WILLscare the living crap out of you. Brilliant.
Cheers,
Sean

So we end yet another decade. I'd say its been a good decade...for Downtempo anyway. So I have a question for you:

What's the best releases of the the decade in Downtempo?
What's the best release of 2009 do you think?

Speak up! We'll do a summary after the holidays and discuss. Meanwhile the folks who are new to the station can get some really good ideas for their next CD purchase.

Happy Holidays!
Cheers,
Sean

And now for something completly beautiful....New Tycho Single 


I was sharing a fine Canadian beer (there are one or two) with Scott Hansen a couple of weeks ago when he was here for his Gallery opening as ISO50. He mentioned that Costal Brake the next release is going to be out in a couple of weeks. I grabbed a copy of the vinyl release (which IMHO can be framed as an art piece) and patiently waited for my electronic copy. You see, I've just moved and my boxes of vinyl and my wonderful ancient Pioneer Quadraphonic 1970's turntable hasn't been connected yet. I know...its terrible but there's something about listening to electronic equipment that's older than you are.

Well anyway. Today is that day. I received an e-mail last night with the electronic download of the release. It comes with 4 unique mixes of Coastal Brake which made my potentiometer greatly increase with each new track.

This is a very warm and bright track, I can't help but picture me on a beach here with very large waves crashing in and retreating and since we've just had the 1st evidence of snow on the ground in Toronto its very welcome.

You can have a listen to samples here as well as purchase. Right now its only available as the Vinyl release with the digital download. I'll keep you posted as its download only.
Cheers,
Sean
