A good friend to DubFiler, Joe Breaker, just made us very happy with this awesome radio spot he created, just for the fun of it. Drum-n-bass is not dead! Thanks, Breaker!

Woohoo! Blip Festival 2009
DubFiler is a proud sponsor of the Blip Festival here in Brooklyn this year. If yre not familiar, Blip Festival is the biggest annual gathering of the world-wide chip tune scene. You thought Gameboys were dead? Not a chance. They’re being used to make some of the most innovative music.
Check out their Kickstarter campaign which is going strong, and ends in just a few days. Support a good cause!
And then come out to the festival! They just announced their line-up and it looks amazing.

A sample DubFiler drop box badge.
Today we announce Dropboxes for your web site. If you’re a DJ or a label, people are sending you their tunes to check out. Let them upload their tracks to your DubFiler account, instead. We’ll send you an email when you get a file, and you can audition all your tracks in one place.
There are lots of other updates under way. Stay tuned!
Average PayPal sales under $12? Lower your fees.
Monday, October 19th, 2009
PayPal’s standard fees are 2.9% + $0.30. Which means if you sell a lot of little things, like MP3’s for a dollar, you are losing a lot of money. Selling something for $1 results in a $.33 fee! That’s 33%! (Check out the PayPal Fee Calculator by Ryan Olbe).
What PayPal doesn’t advertise anywhere is that they offer a different payment scheme for “Micropayments” that’s much cheaper for any transaction under $12.
Buried in their site, with a single “sign up” link, is a page explaining that they offer a “Micropayments” merchant account at 5% + $0.05. For our $1 example, the fee is onliy $.10! 20% less. You will save money on every transaction under $12.
If you are setting up a new PayPal account to sell MP3’s, albums, or anything that’s likely to be under $12, use their Micropayment account registration form. If you already have an account, switch your account here.
Read more about it on the Paypal site under Micropayments.
Landing pages are here.

Sample EP landing page
DubFiler has had lots of little changes this weekend but I think they make a big difference. The biggest has been to ‘folders’ which are now called ‘pages’. Once you’ve uploaded a bunch of tunes, samples or ideas, you can create a landing page for them. Add an image or album cover and include a description and some links to the press release or your mySpace page for more listening.

We love Activaire

Activaire - music stylists
I’ve been friends with Lara and Adesh for years, first as DJ’s but also as designers and taste makers. They really are people with impeccable taste, and they’ve translated that into a business called Activaire. They design the sound for stores, people and events, most recently Uniqlo in NYC. It’s one of those ideas that sounds outrageous, but it so perfectly fits who they are that it had to succeed. Another great example of how creativity and passion can lead to success.
Check out an Activaire mix from 2008 (free) or the summer mix Activaire did for Uniqlo (by way of Racked) (not free).
