Awesome Improvements December 11, 2011

Posted by JOE HARWOOD in : General , add a comment

The awesome website Mixcloud issued a massive announcement on November 22, 2011.

They removed the 100 megabyte limit and instead made it unlimited. This means I can now upload Hot House With The Harwood in amazing quality (320kbps MP3) with no impact to my website server.

Dawn Raid Interview November 13, 2011

Posted by JOE HARWOOD in : General , add a comment

I interviewed Kojo, one half of the Drum & Bass duo Dawn Raid on my radio show last week.

They’ve recently been signed to the record label 36 Hertz and have already released their debut single Breakdown featuring Leanne Brown. Make sure you give it a listen, you might learn something from it!

Changes June 30, 2011

This was the first track that got me interested in the specialist House music genre. Chris Lake is my favourite producer and DJ, with Deadmau5 in close second. Changes features beautiful vocals from Laura V and a clever video.

I filmed this video whilst at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was an awesome day out with the Bugatti Veyron being the most memorable moment.

Apology Mix June 11, 2011

Posted by JOE HARWOOD in : Mixes , add a comment

My last radio show had poor audio quality due to bad interference on the FM frequency.

As an apology I decided to take the raw audio file and add a further ten songs. This means an impeccable sounding three hour long MP3 file for you to enjoy over the summer! This is my tenth mix and my eleventh will be with you shortly.

    Radio Show Anniversary March 10, 2011

    Posted by JOE HARWOOD in : General , add a comment

    This week saw a milestone achievement. Hot House With The Harwood is now officially one year old! What started out as a terrifying first broadcast is now the most enjoyable activity I do each week.

    I love sharing my selection of the finest House music with the Luton community and worldwide via the internet. To celebrate I broadcast a special show of the best Tune Of The Week tracks. This is a truly anthemic two hour mix that you simply cannot miss!

    I need a new masthead image. It must be 730 pixels wide by 140 pixels high and display the website name.

    Are you a college or university student? It would be great for your portfolio, plus your name will be included in the website footer. Please get in touch if you’re interested as you’d be doing me a massive favour!

    I was recently charged for an extra twelve months of hosting as I forgot to terminate my account. I’m a student and therefore don’t have a great deal of money. It may not sound like alot, but £80 is a significant amount to me. If you could spare some money towards my hosting costs then please donate via the button below.

    I purposely set up this website to promote myself as a DJ. I wanted the general public to have easy access to my content, and thought a professional domain would be a good option. I primarily mix House and Electro music, which is what you will normally hear in the world’s most famous clubs.
