Digweed NYE Charity Fundraiser

Kumquat

This NYE I will be bringing the party to you.

Since I was 15 years old I have played every NYE, so this year it is going to be a totally different experience for me as I’m sure for most of you. The Bunker Sessions have given me an opportunity to hold a house party and share it with my fans around the world, creating a real clubbing community online. Your support has been absolutely incredible & hugely appreciated.

For this special NYE party, I have decided to raise money for a charity close to my heart www.macmillan.org.uk who do an amazing job providing physical, financial and emotional support for people dealing with cancer. All the money raised will go to the charity minus the usual artists’ royalties, and Mixcloud have generously agreed to also donate their % to Macmillan Cancer.

SET TIME
21:30 - 01:00 (GMT) or later

I look forward to bringing in the New Year with you all and helping people in need during these uncertain times.

Many thanks,

John

jonattonyeah “Meh, ok.”

Hursty

Signed up last night for this.

Never had any buffering on Mixcloud. Surely people need to look at their own setups?

The only issue last night was he forgot to plug his laptop charger in!

It’s got nothing to do with people’s setups. Can stream on any other platform without a single issue.

Hursty

Echo It’s strange to that is never misses a beat for most people but does for the odd few.

Hursty I’d say the opposite is true, buffers for most. There’s always plenty of complaining in the chat during the stream also. Prob comes from Mixcloud, like there’s too much traffic on the server.

Last night was his best in while, despite the odd buffer here and there.

Hursty

LT42 Mixcloud need to have a word with their cloud service provider then, surely they aren’t hosting everything on prem .

Kumquat

The stream isn’t rate-adaptive unlike all the other platforms to allow for glitches, bottlenecks or throttling etc. I really don’t see the point in serving up 1080/720p video of a pair of CDJ’s, the occasional pair of hands and some kids dancing in the background 480p is more than suffice. The chat functionality will definitely have an impact on the streaming too.

ScottBailey

Kumquat I’d be the first person to vote for binning the chat function. It only attracts the bottom feeders.

I’m in and also managing to get the mrs out for NYE for this one, if only to the kitchen. Although I have signed a good behaviour order.
