Well, this happened exactly just as I suspected that it would. Dan never understood the fact that this argument was never over the performance of two stations.
This was totally over the performance of your station and my, in our conversation few days back you have mentioned as i quote
"[22:17] Ivan | SenseGenerate.FM - Check out Mainstream & Diversity Channels at www.sensegenerate.com!: I busted my ass to create a station for other to enjoy and then have people like you come and benefit from me?"
Thats very clear to me, it shows a false statement and at the same time jealousy.
When I spoke with Dan I simply wanted him to understand the face and the meaning of the word "syndicated" which apparenlty he does not. He claimed that just about all of the show on AH.fm were "exclusive". I begged to differ knowing that most of your guy's shows air on ETN or DI first since I have been in this scene along longer than Dan has.
I will agree you with you on one thing Ivan, that is the fact "yes" we have a few shows that are same "name" from previous radios that have aired it. For example Ronald Van Gelderen started I believe a show on ETN called R.A.W. well that show has been cancelled by Ronald and we agreed for him to plat here with carrying on the same name "R.A.W." I believe this show does play on another european station BUT its played here weekly and first before any station.
This is a similar case to a few other DJ's such as Macarius, Revel, Elucidate, and I might have forgotten others. But 90% of DJ's are exclusive shows I will name a few:
Aly & Fila
M.I.D.O.R
Tenthu
Hydroid
Hawk
Manuel Le Saux
Under Sun
Michael Splint
Blake Jarrell
XiJaro
Vision84
Nitrous Oxide
Pascal Bennung
Ilya Malyuev
Underwater
Eco
Total Digital Recordings ( agency )
Plus many many other djs, and they can post here to clarify that its ONLY for this station. So I ask you to go over my schedule http://www.AH.fm/schedule.htm and compare who plays where before you speak.
Just to give a prime example of some of the shows that I was telling about...
1. Danjo & Styles - Playground (not exclusive to AH, airs on ETN first)
2. Ronal Van Gelderen - RAW (not exclusive, airs on ETN first)
3. Sean Tyas - Phased out Friday (also airs on ETN first, then ah)
4. Elucidate - Deep In Vocal Euphoria (first on DI, then on SENSEGENERATE.FM, then ah)
Will explain in same order you did:
1. Danjo & Styles on ETN ( Playground every 1st Tuesday on the trance channel.) on AH.fm ( 1st Sunday every month ) so depending on which of these falls in first its played there first.
2. Ronald van Gelderen used to play on ETN before he cancelled his show there, he does play here now weekly.
3. Sean Tyas has a show on ETN "Frequently Friday" and a show here "phased out fridays" Phased out is exclusive to AH.FM.
4. Elucidate Plays on di.fm ( Tuesday ) then followed by on sensegenerate ( wednesday ) then AH.fm on ( Thursday ) .
My point is it may be plays on 100 radios as long as it gets played
These are some examples of some of the shows that Dan thinks are exclusive shows to AH. Now, I could make a full list of ALL the shows that Dan thinks are exclusive but are really syndicated but that's not exactly what i'm trying to say here.
Mentioned above about exclusive to AH.FM only
I've also saved the convesation I had with Dan on MSN where he said so many things that are untrue about AH.fm and I would be more than happy to post it all around the internet if i felt to be a huge *******.
I have exact same log ( hence we spoke ) and there is nothing in any way or shape of form said negative about any other radio or djs. On the otehr hand ivan ... I have logs of you calling AH.fm djs "babies" calling one specific DJ that has left your station very disturbing names ( log available )
Dan does not preserve the originality and give credit to those Djs that have been found at other stations. I could care less if any of my old residents were on AH.fm, which some they are such as Dj Eco, Paulo Der Munoz, Mark Ottiz....and these guys would not be around if it wasn't for SENSEGENERATE.FM where they started off.
I never knew where they were, DJ eco left ETN and joined AH thats all I know, as far as Paulo well you kicked him out due to a very stupid reason why I wont mention on here due to you might losing more DJ's ( Paulo can comment on this very well if youd like Ivan ) Mark Ottiz came to me for a spot and I offered it to him. So please dont put the quilt on me cause djs are leaving your station to join another one, ( Its djs choice what he chooses and where he chooses to play at, I dont steal ANYONE from ANYWHERE its DJ's own will to choose what he wants and what makes him most comfortable )
My last question to Dan is.....Where is your broadcast license? You had claimed that you were Incorporated and you had a broadcast license?! I do not see anything on the AH website that states you are legally authorized to broadcast audio on the internet, in other words you're not paying royalties.
Please look into Canada and its own streaming laws BEFORE you open your mouth. I still dont see how this is on topic "me trying to steal your djs or benefiting from your station"
Please have a look at the SenseGenerate.FM website and you will find a link to the SWCast Network (swcast.net) where we are legalized to stream audio content. SenseGenerate.FM has a 6,000 listener slot capacity including an up to 500kbps in and out connection both on audio and video.
Im really happy for you and I hope your station will be a great place to tune into.
I know that this will only start up more controversy but could care less because I'm seriously tired of supporting bedroom Djs that afterwards have to go and downgrade my station after all that we could have done.
DJ's speak for themselves mate, I do not make anything up, its how you treat them, they will treat you same way back.
P.S. Dan, I do not see links to any of the BIG labels and recording companies you mentioned about that are behing Afterhours. Where are they?
Thats your research you think AH would get this far by just me? your wrong, its a group effort.
Thank You for your time!
Sincerely,
Ivan
