Yet another year has passed and we are still here as you can see. The last year was like a rollercoaster with both awesome and sad moments. We broke several records and now have over 30,000 registered members, more than 700,000 postings and an average of 9,000,000 hits per month on MercuryServer. New members have introduced themselves to our community and decided to stay, others have left and some came back after a longer absence. We have also added new members to run and maintain MercuryServer and MCast to ensure you have a good time visiting our websites.

My personal highlight of the last Year was to finally meet my brother and website partner Kamal in person. Members from [ms] staff, good friends from the website and also of course the FSM crew and their friends have met in Pensacola in Florida for a party that lasted several days which was the best time of the Year for me. I have also met Steve James in the USA for the first time which leads me to the saddest moment of 2008. The loss of Steve “Jibgolly” James, who has decided to leave this Life in November last Year has ripped a hole in a lot of hearts in and outside of our community and caused wounds that still need to heal. R.I.P Steve, you will never be forgotten.

Thanks to the [ms] community for giving us the reason to continue with what we do and special thanks to everybody on Team Mercuryserver and MCast for the work and dedication you put into our websites to make them unique. So let’s stand together for this moment and just celebrate ourselves because…We are Mercuryserver.

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday

There's so much to say that I don't know where to start but more importantly, all of those who have made [ms] such a close knit community already know / have shared / felt the whirlwind of emotions that our community has experienced / gone through over the last several years. From crashes to resurrections, new found friendships and those that have been cemented for life, there's so much that comes to mind and heart when I want to write this post and it's difficult where I would like to start.

Our 7 years has been an accomplishment in itself and without the motivation of my mentor Tom, I doubt I would have managed to make it so far by myself. Making it even more of an incredible thing was getting to meet him in person last year, along with so many "e-friends" who are now buddies for life. MercuryServer has been a life changing establishment for me on so many levels.

Without making this a novel, I would like to thank every one of you who have made this place so special, for being in our midst and uniting to make what MercuryServer has always stood to represent as a community.

Happy 7th to all :RockOn:

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday

Of course there is Music included when Mercuryserver is celebrating another successful year so it is now time to introduce the 2009 lineup of our community's birthday.

I knew we would get a mix from Hernan for our birthday since some time already and I had to bite my lips not to tease or spoil the news after reading the threads where people were already starving and wondered when they will hear something new from him.

The day is May 2nd 2009 and it happens on Mercuryserver's 7th birthday.

Hernan has given us a two hour long mix recorded live on April 24, 2009 when he played in the Venue club in Athens, Greece and it is our exceptional pleasure to offer it to his fans as the first web site world wide. A part of this mix will also be used for his Renaissance promo mix later on. Many thanks to Hernan for this incredible birthday gift.

What can I say about John Graham, a producer and DJ who is in business since over a decade and known under so many monikers. Skanna, Tilt, Space Manoeuvres and of course Quivver, are the few that come instantly to my mind. The man is a legend, either when he is performing/creating alone or together with his partners, he has influenced more than one Genre in the EDM scene with his productions.

His birthday gift to the Mercuryserver community is special because of two reasons. It is the very first time we are featuring a mix from John Graham and we are pleased to announce another world wide premiere. Mercuryserver is the first website where you can download Quivver's recent Dirty Nails & Vapour Trails album including all tracks mixed from John Graham himself for free.

Thanks to John for this fantastic opportunity and special thanks to Crystal and Jimmy from jackhammermovement.com for the cooperation.

Tracklist:

01 - Intro [Mixed] 02 - Surin [Mixed] 03 - Chasin a Feeling [Mixed] 04 - What's Not Going On [Mixed] 05 - Tick Tick [Mixed] 06 - 2 Notes 'N' a Beat [Mixed] 07 - Dancing in Dark Rooms [Mixed] 08 - Fallin' [Mixed] 09 - Ghosts [Mixed] 10 - These Are the Days [Mixed]

The next DJ and producer on our birthday program is Rick Pier O'Neil. He is also somebody who is playing and making music since the early nineties and he has left his footprints in the EDM scene in more than one Genre. Rick has always been a busy bee and managed to be a DJ, producer, remixer and the man behind the incredible labels RPO Records and Garbage Records.

A mera glance at his impressive discogs list makes it apparent that he has been well around the block and always trying out new things and sampling different genres: [URL]http://www.discogs.com/artist/Rick+Pier+O%27Neil[/URL]. Garbage Records is the label for dark, tribal and techno tracks and this is the mixture you can expect from the birthday mix Rick has made exclusively for the Mercuryserver community. Kudos to you for your birthday gift and for making and playing this kind of music, Rick.

Tracklist:

01 - Rick Pier O Neil - Submission remix [Garbage Records] 02 - Rick Pier O Neil - Tulum part 1 [Open Records] 03 - Hanne, Snezerisch - I miss ma mam [Rhythm Royal] 04 - RPO & David Weed - Musik [Garbage Records] 05 - RPO & David Weed - Your destiny [Blue Records] 06 - RPO & David Weed - Forgotten [Garbage Records] 07 - RPO & David Weed - Cenote [Garbage Records] 08 - Mutant Clan - Inside [SCI+TEC Digital Audio] 09 - Rick Pier O Neil - Never seen before [RPO Records] 10 - Dark and deep 11 - S Mac, P Harris - Dizzi heigths [sMACk Records] 12 - Symphonix - Trip Away (RPO remix) [Blue Records] 13 - RPO - Mexican Invasion [Frekency Records] 14 - Rick Pier O Neil - Eternal life [Garbage Records] 15 - Kaempfer & Dietze - Shear Force (RPO remix) [Iono Music] 16 - Maelstrom - Bitch(RPO remix) [Iboga Records]

Re: ms 7th bday writeup and mixes

This year has been a low one for most of us I guess. Loosing Steve was a massive blow, I dearly wish he was here to celebrate this with us now.

Most of the credit for this celebration should go to Tom, the amount of work he does to get this together is unparalleled. Respect Tom sir.

Thanks very much should go to the DJ's that actually delivered what they said they would deliver, you make this anniversary all the more special.

It's a pleasure and an honor to have been a part of this place for so long, my only wish is that it continues to grow as it has in the past. Long live the Server of Mercury.

Happy birthday all, MJ loves you.

Happy birthday mercury server

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO

happy birthday [MS]. best website going. bar none.

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO

Congratulations ... don't the years fly by quickly !

It's amazing that such a EDM site and community has been sustained and actually grown to the awe inspiring entity that [ms] is today - somewhere that's a key daily part of a lot of our lives and a personal sanctuary where we can talk to friends, get things of our chest, laugh (and in some sad cases cry), while also enjoying great music that really keeps our appetite and enthusiasm burning.

Above all TomTom and Kamal take major credit for this - thanks guys for all your hard work and dedication. It's hard to put into words just how much we all appreciate your gift to us.

Of course the diverse personalities across the globe that make up the [ms] family also deserve a round of applause - if Kamal & TomTom are the soul of [ms] then you are all the beating heart of the site, that keeps it alive and vibrant each day.

And a special thanks to Hernan for being not only one of the handful of top dj's we rely on and love, but also the nicest most down to earth and most respectful of them all. A true friend of [ms] !

Thanks to John Graham and RPO too for your birthday presents.

Now where's the cake ?

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO

Thank you everyone for your kind words, but in all honesty, the only 3 people that worked their tails off in getting this B'day bash off the ground were Tom, asdf, and MJ.

A big BIG kudos to 'em :RockOn:

Of course thank you to the DJs as well, especially Hernan who gave us this world exclusive to release. You're a star sir.

Simon, your words were very well received here I assure you that. Much appreciated.

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO

Happy birthday [ms]! I don't post as often as I should, but all the same this is an excellent forum. It's fantastic to have so many people who are unashamedly obsessed with the work of Digweed, Hernan, and other such DJs, like I am, all in one place :D The nonsense thread never fails to tickle/shock me, haha, and what more can you say about the p&r/download sections?! Immense. Thank you to everybody who has put in their time and energy into this. Many happy returns,

Mark :)

P.S. I saw Hernan at the beginning of April, he was very good, and I'm certainly looking forward to this exclusive set :D

Re: Mercuryserver 7th birthday mixes from Hernan Cattaneo, Quivver and RPO
