HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY CCMIXTER!!!


i wrote a small tool to help me with stealth mixing, maybe it helps you, too.
in short, it downloads and, if neccessary, extracts “all” uploads from a given username.

Happy 15th Birthday ccMixter! Let’s Celebrate!

It’s mind blowing for me to reflect upon this day 10 years ago, when ArtisTech Media took the reigns from Creative Commons — exactly 5 years to the date from ccMixter’s initial inception. Our little team was filled with incredible excitement, honored at the very special opportunity to usher in the next chapter for our community.

The road has been filled with surprises. We’ve faced challenges we could have never expected, and due to our deep commitment to ccMixter, we’ve never given up. We have endured!

More importantly, we’ve been overwhelmed by the beauty of our creative collaboration — and the power of our music. Our art is heard all over the world. And though this accomplishment has not yielded much financial reward, the intrinsic value of our music continues to grow.

I remain committed to ccMixter. And that commitment is made possible by the good folks in this community that contribute their time, their vision, and their creativity.

Kara Square works with incredible dedication on a wide range of things that keep ccMixter going each day — from answering help mail to creating artwork, from managing our social media to the tedious work of Attribution tracking, from curating to developing ideas for new events. She does sooooo much work behind the scenes — and without her I might have given up when times got tough.

SpinningMerkaba has been there from day one, and continues to be a guiding force in ccMixter’s creative direction. He is masterful in his creative writing skills and he works down in the details to help us get everything done.

Admiral Bob’s talents extend far beyond his musical abilities — and it is his skills that have helped us when technical glitches (big and small) have created a challenge. And, he always makes sure no Mixter is left behind every Secret Mixter!

Gurdonark has been my guiding star, especially during some pretty big challenges that nearly strangled ccMixter. Without him and his generosity, we would not have endured.

Sackjo22 is especially generous — with her time, her ideas and her donations. Her support in tough times, as well as her creative vision, are consistent forces of positivity for me personally, and in this community.

Michael Gregoire has fixed bugs that have plagued us, advised us on technical issues, and is making a lot of progress on our new site design. He is a very busy guy (running BlocSonic) and so we are especially grateful he contributes his time and great talent to ccMixter.

Go1dfish continues to fund one of our servers each month (and has done so since day one) and helps us technically whenever he can. His generosity is amazing!

Patronski is one of my most valued advisers, and pretty much everything we do here is passed by him first for his input. And he is also very supportive of all of the time I spend working on ccMixter each day!

Loveshadow, Zep Hurme and Siobhan Dakay share their creative and technical ideas to guide us and help shape our events and themes. Not to mention they are some of the most masterful producers I’ve ever worked with, anywhere on the globe.

Speck, Panu, Apoxode and many others help monitor the site for spam and tracks that need moderating. It would be impossible for us to stay on top of this big task without their assistance.

A special thanks to everyone on the Editorial Team, for highlighting mixes deserving of special attention. You help listeners find gems on our site! (I know that there are many tracks that haven’t received the recognition they should.)

I give my heartfelt gratitude to all of the artists here, who compose, record, edit, mix, sample, and create — and share your imaginative art with our community and world at large. You are the heart of ccMixter!

To all of you who have ever donated, and continue to donate to ccMixter, YOU keep us running. Even with all of the long hours folks regularly contribute, we still have to pay the bills. If you are able, your financial support (or an increase of it!) would be so appreciated — our Patreon donors give us that consistency we need to sleep at night!

I’m especially proud of the supportive spirit in our community. ccMixter is uniquely upbeat in a digital realm that is becoming more and more hostile. Each of you uphold ideals of encouragement in a world that bullies. We are together inclusive, respectful, borderless — at a time when positivity is so terribly important.

I hope you’ll join our special Endurance Secret Mixter — celebrating this milestone birthday. 15 years my friends!!! Let’s make it 15 more.

Thank you!

Thank you Snowflake for keeping us going despite the challenges of the past 10 years.

Thank you everyone who contributes to ccM in any way. Together, we have created one of the coolest places to hang out on the internet.

It is reassuring to witness ccMixter’s endurance. It is wondrous to know that the commitment to keep ccM going is strong.

Happy Birthday ccMixter!!!!
