[[I]teaser[/I]] Some here at [MS] have noticed that I am participating more actively in the [MS] forum, and it is true: I am liking this place and I am appreciating its members I'm mingling with...feels like home! :D

And how can I show my appreciation if not through music? So I would like to dedicate this next set "[U][COLOR=Red][B]RED[/B][/COLOR][/U]" featured on "Preserve The Essence 006" to you, [MS] members, hoping you will enjoy the mistress' mix... ;)

The set is uploaded on MCast since last night and I am very eager to fire it, but I am afraid we will have to be patient just another bit more coz I am still waiting for my guest...

a feeling that will hopefully never dissipate as long as I have something to do about it.

sweet thanks!!! 8)

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

I was thinking even to drop the direct link in this thread and now, as a full gesture; The set is dedicated to [MS] members, so for anyone to get the set he has to be a registered member...and thats just perfect.

Also, its not about numbers and how much downloads my set would score, its about feelings, thats how I see it; so one more reason to drop it now, even before it is officially aired... Its [MS] !

But my problem is: I can't guarantee the set would stay IN [MS] only, I wouldn't like to see it posted elsewhere before it is officially aired...that would be really uncool in many aspects.

So... :what

[SIZE=1](but deep inside I wouldn't mind throwing it at ya ;) )[/SIZE]

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

you shouldnt of put it out on the net before it was "aired" on mcast lol

you know what the nets like

do another one down the road ("promo mix") and that could be an actual dedication as it could make it in the "special downloads" section. That's where it's only available to [ms] members/those who post enough to access it...but it's got to be absolutely exclusive..no prior releases elsewhere, not even to your close mates ;)

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

Thanks Shiva!

I'd buy you flowers as a token of appreciation, but I'd probably get the wrong color :p

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

Shiva, not sure if you are aware of how mercuryserver started out, but there was a time when special mixes were encrypted with passwords, and the admins would only email these passwords to members. maybe you can bring us back to our roots and release this mix under the same method.

just an idea.

it's great to have exclusivity! 8)

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

Glad to see you posting mixes on MCast have enjoy the last couple of them. Carry on.

I didn't get this one, you put a password on a posted set? Anyone on [MS] can see it but no one can listen to it unless they get that password?

Yes, I understand this exclusivity idea...Thats a nice way to protect it from being spread around the net....nice one, we could do something like that. :)

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

^ What if the password leaks out, or the encryption gets cracked or something; with all kinds of software around nowadays I guess nothing is safe....donno :what

But sets "usually" are exclusive...especially when the dj signs the mixes with drops and jingles of the site...they are exclusive for ever. But in this idea its the password thing that makes it different.

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

Thx Shiva :)

cheers hafid

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

Glad you're diggin' this place more and more. Its pretty addicting. Lots of knowledgable people here. With a bunch of EDM to last a life time!!!

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

muchas gracias!

it ultimately does no matter what...someone here would share it elsewhere and then it's over. However, it does have the link back here and you would theoretically get plenty of downloads before it began to "leak"...most people are too lazy to change the filenames anyway :lol:

the hell with those VVIP...[ms] is even more important then them :CrackUp:

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

shiva, the way it worked back then was... the sets were hosted here on a download page. you could see what was available, but without the password you could not download it. my suggestion was to implement a similar way of hosting it, and only share it with the people that contact you directly. at least then it is in semi-safe hands for a week or so til it is fully leaked all over the WWW.

just a suggestion, we are a somewhat patient crowd here at [MS] and will gladly wait for your decision. :lol:

I like ur suggestion Jib, very nice idea...:D Wouldn't mind trying that out...lets see how deep the rabbit hole goes...

I appreciate the [MS] crowd's patience, but I am the one who is NOT patient :lol: Can't wait to throw that [B][COLOR=Red]RED[/COLOR][/B] at ya :twisted:

:lol:

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

what jibs is sudjesting is actually a good idea but you give it out ones @ a time with a seperate little edit each time ( for example a sneeky little disguised pitch edit ) only where you know it is then if it spreads then u know who u can trust or not

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members

I've watched Shiva as an artist/dj grow from when she first started her musical Career, n i must say shes progressed much since when I first heard her spin live after Marco V as the closing act a few years back in Lebanon. Shes literally taken her already existing potential, fostered it, n refined her style to create a very deep, epiphany-based, Sensually Intensive feel with the experience she molds in each of her sets. I can't help but get the impression every time i put on one of her magical experiences in the form of a set n kick back n vibe, that the music is so much of a lifestyle to her. N the shere creativity behind her sets, is that she isn't afraid to experiment with sounds; leap forward to her Mcast 5 session ( the 2 hour proton set which is till now one of my favourite sessions) n its clear shes found herself in the music as an ARTIST, where the essence of her vibe is felt.

I know, seeing how Shiva is very approachable with people who are deeply absorb into her music, that leaks of sets can be a burden; although I know she'd like nothing more then to share her set, with such a beautiful base of QUALITY listeners on MS. But judging on having somewhat of an idea, on where this set is leaning to; "RED" as a set, is one set u should not sleep on when released. Assurances, it will be well worth the wait, Indulge MS members winky

Re: "RED" for [MS] Members
