Well, we finally dropped OVC on Monday. Things went pretty smoothly. The landing page is up at OctobersVeryCold.com w/ player and links to HipHopLeak.Net to download. The only hitch has been that the “Digg” button on the landing page hasn’t worked like we hoped it would, but oh well….This tape was highly anticipated amongst our friends, who have heard previews while it’s been coming together, and right off the bat, everyone in my direct network is raving. Things started well last week when the first track we threw out got posted on the biggest DJ record pool in the world, DJCity:
That capped of what was already 10k + downloads from blogs all over the place before dropping the whole mixtape on Monday. We ended the day yesterday with the tape getting posted on MixtapeMaestro.com, which happens to be a Hype Machine blog. In case you aren’t a super trendy person whose really into music, specially hot new indy music and mashups.. Hypem.com is a music blog aggregate. It’s an algorithm that scans a list of cool ass blogs for the tracks they are posting. It then posts them on Hypem.com, where said *new indy music junkies* can listen, and ‘favorite’ tracks they like. MixtapeMaestro.com posted the mixtape, along with a couple of their favorite tracks from it “Forever La Vida” and “Money To Fix”, which are now on Hype Machine:
At the time of this post, Forever La Vida has 184 ‘favorites’, and is #30 on the charts.
1 day in, this is a great start. Go to OctobersVeryCold.com to listen to the whole project and get the download.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
