ESPSIX makes us dance this week on FrostWire

February 11, 2009February 19, 2009 ~ gubatron ~ Leave a comment

ESPSIX is an awesome DJ/Composer from Czech Republic that shares his music under Creative Commons. After the FrostClick team showed it to us it was a no brainer to feature ESPSIX on FrostWire, it’s an absolute must to have it on your iPod and we recommend that you download it and share it with your friends with FrostWire.

Update:(Feb/19th/2009)
ESPSIX has broken all FrostWire download records so far, in only 10 days the album has been shared by over 50,000 people, transferring over 4 Terabytes of data on the BitTorrent network alone.

Here’s a special message from ESPSIX himself:

Hi there!
I’m Espsix – a DJ and composer from Czech Republic. I generally create varieties of house music like Discohouse, Funkyhouse, Clubhouse, Electrohouse, but also experiment with nujazz or nufunk. One of my newest nujazz/funk tracks is also included in this Espsix collection.

One of my newest discohouse tracks – “Discore” – is for now only available with this torrent download exclusively from Frostwire.

I started composing about 3 years ago on a simple DJ Software running on Linux. Now I am using FL Studio utilizing free and/or creative commons beats. I am not your typical DJ either – I don’t perform in clubs – I am more of a composer creating house music and giving it away to whomever wants to hear it.

All my music is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license, which means it is totally free for you to listen to, share with friends and remix. If create any derivative works, remember to share under the same license and give me credit. If you would like to use it commercially, you have to contact me to licensing details (and no, it is not free if you intend to make money on it!).

Sean Fournier signs licensing agreement with MTV Networks

February 10, 2009February 10, 2009 ~ gubatron ~ Leave a comment

Sean Fournier mentions on his blog that he has signed a licensing agreement with MTV Networks (MTV, VH1, etc.)

We wonder if FrostWire had anything to do along the chain of events that lead to this, he mentions the VH1 person who contacted him had gotten his hands on the free album thanks to a friend from MTV. (who could at some point gotten referred through a friend of a friend that downloaded it with FrostWire? who knows)

Whatever the case, we feel very happy for Sean Fournier and we thank him for sharing his awesome music with the world.

February 5, 2009February 6, 2009 ~ gubatron ~ Leave a comment

Update Feb 6th:: Farkus has 10,500 downloads, and it’s not even 3 days yet. Keep sharing!

The FrostClick Team found this week an awesome rock band from Chicago named Farkus. They recommended it and we’re featuring it this week on the FrostWire welcome screen.

Farkus has already gotten over 5,000 BitTorrent downloads and we’d like you to give them a try, put it in your iPod, and tell us what you think of them.

The album is being released under Creative Commons with permissions to Share and Remix. They were nice enough to even included a special message for you guys, you’ll be able to hear it if you download the album.

Learn more about Farkus on FrostClick.com

Remember, Sharing is caring (and it’s also free promotion), but If you’d like to support this band with $, you can buy their CD on Amazon or iTunes (only like $5 last time we checked).

Rock on.

Today a new version of the website is up. The team has been working on this site since November 08 and finally it’s out.

FrostWIre's new Website

The forum has not been skinned to the new look of the site, and it’s been moved to it’s own space on the web server, independent from the site. Our apologies to the forum users and moderators if things are a bit rocky after the upgrades, we’ll hear all your complains and will work to help you get the forum just the way you need it.

We expect a few things to fail here and there, as every website, it’s always a work in progress and we expect your feedback.

Please report whatever problems you expect WITH THE WEBSITE on this post. Suggestions are welcome.

We hope you like it 🙂

FrostWire 4.17.2 for MacOSX

January 20, 2009January 20, 2009 ~ gubatron ~ 6 Comments

Download FrostWire 4.17.2 for MacOSX

This release for MacOSX includes some of the fixes added to Windows 4.17.2 release but it’s aimed mostly to solve some incompatibilities found on the new Macbooks and Macbook PROs.

Some Mac users had reported that FrostWire 4.17.1 would not start , we revised the previous launcher and fixed possible errors and updated the Mac OSX native libraries for improved Leopard compatibility. Also FrostWire will now refuse to be executed from the Disk Image (DMG), teaching some newly mac-converted users how they should install the application.
