The Soul Strut "Raer" Live Stream

I updated the rig quite a bit for better performance and optics. I also came up with a solution to avoid Youtube blocks. Let's see if it holds up.

Last night's ish:

loving the new tech with the psych visuals and all, going the extra mile on this one! heavy selection too. this gent has some "grails" as they say.

I miss the funkydj1734923@aol.com / myspace though. looked serious enough to confuse somebody, my favorite kind of joke

Ha. Thanks! Yes I agree. I need to keep some of the strut humor before I go totally "Hollywood". Definitely will add some of that back in :)

Are you gonna share how you did the YouTube blocks workaround?


:shhhh:
There is a master database which they stopped supporting because the copyright shit changes so quickly and there are millions of songs. It's a good gauge but not at all accurate.The trick is to post a mock video privately and let it sit for a few hours and see what songs you get popped for. My latest mix didn't have any strikes surprisingly.The only scary thing is because shit changes constantly, my mix could be taken down any second. It happened to my Yacht Rock live test. It was up for a solid week and then blocked by the band Pages.
 
I see a lot of yootoobz that have copy+pasted some kind of DISCLAIMER: FAIR USE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES paragraph.

Maybe it only works for ballzing downtempo and niche dance genres nobody cares about....


:why cry:
 
I dont know sites like Discogs and whosampled have links to videos with whole songs on YouTube

Raj I hope you're getting enough appreciation via IG etc. I play catch-up on youtube the day after and these are all :OJ:


Thank you! The response has been favorable but I’m noticing a dip in interest maybe because of things opening up and nicer weather. Regardless, I’m having a blast! I’ve spent years combing these forums and tayloring playlists from classic threads. It’s all coming full circle which I’m geeked about.

Funny, I was listening to el rey y yo last night at home randomly for the first time in forever. Checking this mix out now.

Weirdly I think I first came across that song on an MP3 of a Dollar Bin KZSU show where he played a bunch of strut related stuff... does that song have any significance on the board or am I losing my mind?
