Starlifter Radio launches new website and aims for Outer Space

Published on June 18, 2010 in internet radio and promo. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , .

There’s new news from the Starlifter Radio, they’ve got The Delicious Music Show happening every Wednesday night and there’s a new website. Here’s the goss:
“Starlifter Radio, an internet radio station broadcasting from Christchurch, New Zealand has a brand new website and is rockin’ the digital airwaves.”
Says station automation system, HAL++.

Self described Star Captain, Dr Hitchcock (not a real doctor and known to his mother as Benet), started Starlifter Radio in September 2009 as an outlet for him and his friends to play Indie Rock, Psych Rock, Glitchy Electro, Nu Disco and various other musical genres. Since then a small community has started to gather around the new school wireless to listen to this unique station.

“The launch of the new website gives the Starlifter community a place to communicate with each other and party like it’s 2999.” says HAL++.

Coinciding with the website launch is the addition of ‘The Delicious Music Show’ to the programme. This is broadcast live every week from Outer Space, located above Cosmic Corner in downtown Christchurch. The show features various DJs playing a selection of Glitch, Techno, Minimal, House and assorted bleeps and beeps.

‘The Delicious Music Show’ is the latest addition to an entertaining and unreal programme.
“It’s better than your iPod on shuffle!” says one member of the Starlifter Radio community, and that is backed up by Hal++.
“There is much thought put into the playlists, you’re not gonna get a loud rock song followed by ambient electronica (unless it really works in a clever kind of way).”

“We don’t just play music either.” says Dr Hitchcock.
“We actually have radio presenters sharing their personal insights and musical knowledge from time to time. They talk significantly less smack than some on commercial radio and when they do speak they make it worth listening to. Every week live shows are broadcast from various locations around Christchurch. We also play various features, podcasts and DJ mixes, choice!”

Starlifter Radio is currently accepting submissions of new music, DJ sets and anything that will sound good on the wi-fi. Submissions can be made via email to: submissions (at) starlifterradio.com

Tandem Studios, Christchurch

Tandem Studios, Christchurch

Calling all budding music producers! My good friend Invader Tron (aka Andrew Snook), the Delicious Music crew and Tandem Studios are teaching sound geeks like yourself how to make mean electronic beats. I did an audio engineering course with Andrew and he is AWESOME at it (heaps better than me, that’s for sure!). The sessions are well priced and that have a range of amazing gear at their disposal. So if you’re keen keep reading….

Invader Tron says:

Hosted at Tandem Studios and streamed online, Delicious Music and Tron Audio are proud to present ten weeks of electronic music production workshops. Starting from the basics, each workshop follows on from the previous, creating a progressive foundation of knowledge, skills and understanding, needed to produce top quality electronic music for New Zealand.

The topics covered will be Basic Sound Theory and Synthesis101, Bass Synthesis, Creating and using Percussion, Chord Instruments, Lead Instruments, Effects Basics, Effects Advanced, and a three part series in Track Construction. Workshops are taught on Ableton Live, although the knowledge taught is designed to be general and applicable to all applications. Students will also receive Live Packs of the topics covered, which they can take home and use.

The Workshops will run from 6:00 till 8:00 every Tuesday evening, starting from April the 13th. At 6:00 the workshop class will begin, and will run for an hour. From 7:00 till 8:00 will be open work time, where students can ask questions, work on topics covered and receive extra tuition.

Workshops are $5 per person, per class, and places are limited. Tandem Studios is located at 78 Oxford Tce, Chch. Classes will also be streamed online. Updates will be added over time. Contact andrew@tronaudio.com for bookings or questions. Individual tuition available.
