9 january 2005
Today I zapped the tech station in favor of a 64kbps MP3 Pro stream featuring some of my downtempo stuff.  I think there is too much competition for techno or just not enough interest in my mellow brand of techno. 
Long Live Sweetbeatzzz!!!!  And Happy Birthday Jan!!!

The stream will feature many of the same artists as the downbeat stream but I hope to keep enough separation to encourage people to spend time with both streams.  If there is enough interest in the new stream, I may shutdown the older one at the lower bitrate.
