We have spent a few weeks off to concentrate on other projects, and to go to other parties. We are back in the game, and hitting it HARRD in semptember.

We are working on a new feature for the website. A DEMO EXCHANGE page, Where people will be able to fill in a form, and upload Mp3s that will automatically appear on the downloads page. Hopefully 100's of bands and DJs will submit their demos and people will be able to download tonnes of free music from the GASH site.

The PodCasting project is up and running... Jonny Has been submitting shows from sunny france... Any Budding DJ's out there fancy submitting a cast, please get in touch.

We are starting GASHcast, a new podcast downloadable radio station. Podcasting is a feature in the new version of itunes and it allows you to subscribe to loads of radio style shows for free.

GASHcast will have all different kinds of music, submitted by all different people. It will also include demos from local bands, videos, and anything else we can think of.
There will be something for everyone, From Techno and Trance, to Punk and Metal.

The shows will be downloadable from this site, but to subscribe you will need itunes (which everyone should be using anyway, because its by far the best way of organizing your digital music) Its free to download from HERE, give it a try.

We are looking for people interested in submitting some GASHcast shows- Get in touch.

For more info Click HERE - or the GASHcast link in the menu.
