NonStop House Podcast

NonStop House Podcast Soundcloud Link: https://soundcloud.com/nshpodcast Hello guys! Today I'd like to start telling you the story behind the NonStop House Podcast, where everything started when I was a kid! I'll split this story in some chapters, trying not to turn it into a boring experience for you guys following the NSHP. In this first chapter, we will talk about K7's and playlists. I play the guitars since teenager and am trying to be a bedroom DJ for almost 10 years, now trying to learn more about music production. This year I decided to restart the NonStop House Podcast project, something I created in 2012, and didn't care much during this last years and, boom… COVID Pandemic! Terrible moment for our lives but perfect time to recall some forgotten personal projects and workout the creativity. And so I started again creating my mixed sets as podcasts episodes, hosting them on Soundcloud, which broadcast them to the main podcasts platforms like Spotify, Deezer, Apple Podcasts, TuneIn Radio and others. If you haven't know our podcast yet, I invite you to check my Soundcloud profile, where you will find not just my sets of House Music but also some tunes I'm trying from the scratch while studying and learning something about music production. You can check my Soundcloud link in this episode description bellow. So, I've always been passionate about music, since I was a little kid. My father always listen to good music at home and music had it's meaning on his life when he was younger as well. He used to have some vinyls and a huge collection of K7s, which he used to play and through some small parties in his neighbourhood. These K7s were all recorded from friends vinyls and other K7s, cataloged with an ID number, a title and the music setlist with kind of a numeric code which could be used on his tape deck to set the perfect moment where a song started. He had his personal Spotify library on a drawer and, for sure, gold for that years. My father has a huge influence in my relationship with music. I used to stay hours in front of my K7 double deck, trying to record something from my favorite radio stations, inspired on his old habits. Back in the 90's, here in Rio, there was a couple of radio stations which were used to play what some years later I'd learn are actually mixed sets, and they were played always late in the night. Something like we call today EDM. To try to record these sets, I used to leave my Sony's 90min K7 recording the entire radio show, and then cutting my favorite tracks, passing from this K7 to another on the next day, repeating this until I had my best playlist all recorded. Of course it usually took some days and the quality was terrible. First because of the pour FM signal at home. Second because of the same K7 used on and on, trying to catch something I liked from the show (I had only one with 90min). And third, my cutting techniques at that time was trash… but I loved all this rituals!! Some years later, CDs and MP3 came up bringing the sound quality I didn't have and everything got pretty easier, moving the challenge to another point of the story. Ripping, burning and mixing! Subject for our next chapters! Thank you all for listening and following the NonStop House Podcast. See you guys on our next episode!
