In fact, it’s a very recent re-release, by the way.
Schedule Only 00s changed
January 25, 2012 | Leave a comment
There’s a new time table for Only 00s now. The specific year specials will be aired on other moments.
It’s especially important because of hours with a relatively small musical database (2008, 2009), to prevent boreness (“always the same songs, every week, this hour…”).

(Yeah, two additions very shortly after each other, and both from 2011, while I usually want to show a little bit more variety… I just don’t want to postpone posting my new 2011 favorite, discovered yesterday. 
)

Old school hour at Good Vibrations
January 19, 2012 | Leave a comment
For those who like especially music from the late 80s and early 90s, there’s an almost daily special now at Good Vibrations. Tonight is the first edition.
From Saturday till Thursday, between 9 and 10 pm Central European Time, I will broadcast Old School Mania. One hour of music from 1993 and before.
Thanks to Michael Kames again, for providing the voice-overs.

Good Vibrations is Editor’s Pick in WMG
January 16, 2012 | Leave a comment
After Only 00s (2 times), Good Vibrations has also become Editor’s Pick in Windows Media Guide. So, that’s a lot of promotion for that station, the next couple of weeks.
Thanks to the people out there!

- ja, die is schitterend inderdaad. :)
- Ik was eigenlijk totaal vergeten dat het bestond, ...
- Het blijft een fantastisch nummer inderdaad... was...
- Haha, sommige staan er wel in, maar met die hiphou...
- Wat mij betreft kunnen deze 445 nummers integraal ...
Besides links to my webradios, this site is filled with lots of songs to try. They are in the narrow bar on the left.
Many genres (no purist bullshit here, when it comes to that), but with an emphasis on sound instead of lyrics: Expect lots of funky drums, grooves, riffs, horns, bleeps, chords and exotic instruments.
And in general, I like a natural feel (also when it's in fact 100 % electronic), without obvious loudness wars. A dynamic sound. But there will always be exceptions. And forced hipness will never be my cup of tea.
How are these songs selected?
Simple: If a song is even more to me than 'very nice', really outstanding, it will be added to the site. Besides these tracks, there's a huge amount of other tracks I really like, just not enough to mention here.
About me
I'm born in 1981, Dutch and female. My personal music history, because it's relevant on a site like this:
I'm listening to pop music since 1990, starting with my fathers cds/lps, with pop/rock oldies, some classical music, some 70s compilations with music like Boney M and Luv, and some typical Dutch stuff like BZN; some people would call it corny. No modern pop/dance yet (the Dutch children act Kinderen Voor Kinderen not counted; officially, KVK part 11 was my first cd).
That phase started halfway 1991. I especially started to like dance music, and for the next one and a half decade to follow, I wouldn't listen much to golden oldies anymore.
Till 2000 most dance I listened to was extremely commercial (a huge 2 Unlimited obsession, during from 1992 till 1996, included). And since 2001 it was still quite commercial but in a more grown-up way. In the next couple of years to follow, my devotion to dance music (especially the 'serious' side of it) would reach it's peak. Discussing all the stuff on discussion boards, buying Hed Kandi cds and buying dance magazines included.
2005-early 2008 turned out to be the transition period to now. Besides dance music (in 2005 heavily influenced by the French station Underground FG, playing quite subtle kinds of dance), I started to like more and more other kinds of music. When it came to music released before my time, something not really getting my attention the years before, I started save, with exploring the 1988-1990 era: De La Soul, Soul II Soul and all the others. Because there seemed to be a certain click. And in 2006, I started to like music released before that, often many years before my birth. Yeah, the oldies were back...
In general my taste was becoming more laidback, and the amount of funky elements also increased. Early 2008, Studio Brussel's De Hop (presented by the founder of internet station Laidback Radio, and the same kind of music) was a huge influence.
Since Spring 2008, nothing has changed anymore (while the entire 2003-early 2008 era was VERY experimental; I can assure you I've not mentioned everything above). I'm still listening to dance music nowadays, just less intensively when compared to 1991-2005.
