So I finally caved in to peer pressure and set up a twitter page – twitter.com/jocelyndee

I have even linked it up to my facebook page – facebook.com/jocelyndee.music – which is linked up to this page.

Now if only I could figure out how to link my Myspace page into the mix – myspace.com/jocelynd – I would be good to go!

Wow, the response to episode’s 35 (or 2-year anniversary) and 36 has been great! It is so encouraging to do something because you love it, and to have it appreciated by others. It just makes us want to do better things with the podcast in future episodes.

Unfortunately, with Episode 37 we ran into a few technical glitches – first recording problems with my Mac, then my PC (which I was using to edit or XML file for the podcast RSS feed decided to die. (And wouldn’t you know, I had everything backed up except for my podcast folder.)

Well, in spite of these things, we managed to get the podcast together and upload it for your listening pleasure. Look for a special edition of “Original vs. Remix” on this episode!

Also, don’t forget to check out my latest mix – Ragga Mix Round 2 if you haven’t done so already!

It’s been a busy month so far, but I’ve finally recorded a new mix. I’ve gone in the ragga direction again this time around – since I had such a good time recording the last ragga mix:Ragga Mix Supreme.

Enjoy!

We are finally back with another episode. This time it was Dexy’s computer that was slowing us down. He had to rescue his music collection (including the tunes for this episode) from his failed hard drive.

But, if you give this one a listen you won’t be disappointed. We have lots of news and lots of tunes ready for you.

This episode features news about Sub Focus, Neosignal, Redco, Alley Kat/Kokeshi, Alix Perez, Digital Soundboy/DJ Fresh, and NC17.

We also feature tunes from Matrix, Commix, Rufige Kru, Big Bud, Drumsound and Bassline Smith, and more.

At the end we talk about Toronto, including the Toronto Drum and Bass Awards, Freakout, the Stride Recordings Debut Release Party, and more!

The Toronto Drum and Bass Awards was a fresh idea started last year to recognize the who’s who of the Toronto drum and bass scene. With so many talented musicians and artists calling Toronto home, I’m sure it was no easy to task to narrow down the field of nominees or even select the winners.

Well, after the success of last year’s awards, they are back again this year for round #2.

And just like last year, I’ve been nominated for Best Female DJ.

So, if you like my music, why not give me your vote. While your at it, you can also vote for your favourite promoters, venue, event, producers, MCs, and more.

Simply visit

And if you are in Toronto, come on out for the award ceremony on Thanksgiving weekend!

Congrats to everyone who was nominated!

I have the honour of playing alongide some super talented Toronto DJs at the

11th Annual TRIBE BBQ (TBQ) – the 6th on the Island

Site 105, Hanlan’s Point, Toronto Islands

A fine selection of beats from the board:

This year, have a new site!!! It’s right next to the old site. The new site has lots of shade trees which are perfectly spaced for hammocks. The grass is incredibly nice and fluffy.

2009 GROUP PHOTO AT 5PM!

If you want, come at noon and join us for breakfast to start the day – eggs, bacon, toasts!

What to bring:
- yer own meat or veg if you are a non-meat person
- other stuff to grill
- sunscreen
- swimsuit (or not)
- bug propellant
- nice big blanket
- yer kids or friendly dog if you have kids or friendly dog
- jacket and hoodie (it can get crisp on the islands in the evening)
- beverages and ice
- IMPORTANT: bring your own re-usable (opaque) plastic glasses, plates, cups, and your own cutlery.
As part of the City’s plan to reduce waste disposal on the island, it is best if we try to bring re-useables instead of recyclables
- frisbees and other throwable objects
- your bikes! explore the islands by bike while you are at the TBQ

The site is just a short walk from the Hanlan’s Point ferry docks so you won’t have to shlep your stuff very far. See the map below.
There are volleyball nets, blue flag swimming beaches, the nude beach nearby, as well as washrooms handy to the site.
Our new site is stunning: lots of beautiful old shade trees but sunny where you need it. Lots of excellent frisbee tossing space.

REMEMBER TO TAKE THE HANLAN’S POINT FERRY!

CCDNB stands for Canadian Content Drum and Bass. It is a podcast put together by Dustin Kapulet and I’m honoured to be able to contribute in a small way.

As he says, “What truly separates CCDNB from any other podcast you’ve heard is it is comprised of 100% Canadian Content…Period! From Vancouver to Halifax, from Winnipeg to Montreal, Toronto to Edmonton, we will be reviewing and showcasing material from what we feel is this country’s strongest, finest and most promising talent.”

I contribute a short Canadian drum and bass news segment for the podcast – most recently to Episode 10, the Ragga and Jump Up Special Volume 2. (Guess I am putting my Bachelor of Journalism degree to good use after all.)

This podcast features great tunes, and great artists so check it out!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
TORONTO, ON (August 13, 2009) – DBE News and Reviews: A Podcast Where We Talk About Dnb is celebrating its two-year anniversary by releasing its 35^th episode. Since starting the podcast in 2007, hosts Dexy G and Jocelyn Dee have completed 35 episodes; reviewed over 350 dnb tunes; discussed countless dnb artists, albums, and events; and made some great friends along the way.

But although they are proud of what they have done so far, they still strive to do better in the future. For instance, Episode 35 features a special guest reviewer inside the studio – Dustin Kapulet of the Canadian Content Dnb podcast (ccdnb.com) who presents a special segment of Canadian dnb for review.

 If you are not familiar with DBE News and Reviews, it is different than many other dnb podcasts because it follows a talk radio format. However, instead of talking about sports or Hollywood gossip, hosts (and dnb-enthusiasts) Dexy G and Jocelyn Dee talk about drum and bass.

 If you have dnb-related news that you would like them to discuss, news releases that you would like them to preview and review, upcoming events that you would like to announce, or anything else related to dnb that you want to promote, DBE NEWS AND REVIEWS WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU!

 Send in your press releases or promo material to the e-mail address below. There is also a Soundcloud drop box on DBE’s website. Any material featured in DBE News and Reviews is also highlighted in the press release which accompanies each episode.

 If you want to join us Dexy G and Jocelyn Dee in the studio as a guest reviewer, or have ideas to share about how you think we could make the podcast better, DBE NEWS AND REVIEWS WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU! It’s been a great two years, and the future looks even better.

I’ve been getting some great, constructive feedback on some of my original tunes lately. Thank you for listening and for being honest in your comments. Hopefully I will be able to upgrade my computer soon that will give me the CPU power I need to push Logic to it’s limits.

Over the next week or so I will be update the audio page on jocelyndee.com so that it will include my two newest songs. I will also be updating my new Soundcloud page.

I am also thinking that I should record another studio mix soon. Thank you for the massive support of Ragga Mix Supreme – with over 10,000 downloads directly from my site + a whole bunch more through torrents this has been my most successful mix ever!

I can’t decide whether I should do another ragga mix or one of my usual dnb sub-genre blends. I could also do a liquid funk mix, since it’s been a while since I have done one of those. Let me know what you think by posting on the wall of my Facebook page or even sending me an e-mail.
