1.) CHANGE IS IN THE AIR...
If for some reason this is the first time you've received anything from
me, do not despair - this is the announce list for MUX, a live-pa techno
musician based out of Vancouver, BC, Canada. My music is pounding and
acidic, and best enjoyed at a loud volume, very late at night.
THE IMPORTANT BIT: I've changed webhosts, and will be migrating this
list over to their list server this week. They're VERY anti-spam over
there, and refuse to let me just migrate my email list of 500 or so
folks - they only allow opt-in announce list subscribers.
WHAT THAT MEANS: Sometime in the next few days, you'll receive an email
inviting you to be a part of the new MUX mailing list. If you don't
want to be on my (incredibly low spam, often entertaining) mailing list,
just don't do anything, and you won't be on it anymore.
IF, HOWEVER, you do want to continue reading about my continuing efforts
to take over the world with acid techno, just hit reply on that message
(not this *current* message), and you'll be back on my list! How simple
is that.

2.) NEW WEBSITE COMPLETED!
Yep. Read the title again if you like. Once more for good measure...
and there you have it. My new website is, in fact, completed.
http://mux.ca is the URL, same as always. The new site may not look all
*that* different from the old one, but believe me, under the hood now
ticks a well-oiled precision machine, managing my content and allowing
me to flip it all back and forth nine ways from Sunday. If you're a
web-guru, consider subscribing to my RSS feed. If you're not a web
geek, you'll probably like the photo and video sections. There's a
*tonne* of content on there, and it's all pretty easy to navigate.
Oh, btw, there's a bunch of *new* content as well. I bet you thought I
didn't do any shows in 2006! Well, judging by my old website, that's
how it appeared, but that couldn't be further from the truth - I've been
gigging quite a bit, just mostly out-of-town shows. :)

3.) PROMOTER CALLOUT
This is the part of the email where I shamelessly beg for gig leads. ;)
I've got a full set (an hour-ish?) of hard 140bpm rave techno locked and
loaded in the sequencers, and I'm ready to throw it down at a moment's
notice. All I need is a crowd and a stereo - do you know anyone with
those things?
I might as well mention it here: the company I was working for kinda...
fell over. 30 of us are out of work, but with severance cheques and EI
incoming, I'm not intending to go back to work for a few months. That
means that I'm basically doing techno fulltime right now - you can
expect my summer sets to be insane!
I'm currently working on a new demo CD, but for now there's a recording
from a live show in Seattle back in December 2006. If you are booking
for a summer party (big or small, I'll play pretty much anywhere), drop
me a line - there's tonnes of booking info on my website. I'm cheap and
easy to work with!
******************************************************************
Well - that's pretty much all I've got for this round. Thanks for
reading this far, and don't forget to check out the new website. :)
Cheers,
- Drew.
