Hey, just wanted to address a few things that have been going on around here. I call this the PMA Low-Down.
- First of all, a congratulations and a thousand thank-you’s are in order here — PMA just got it’s 1,000th fan, or “watcher” on the Hype Machine (the first ever music-blog social networking site, sort of). What do the cool kids say? 1,000 fans can’t be wrong? Ha, maybe I’m gettin ahead of myself. Anywho, if you have an account @ HypeM, you should “watch” us too! And if you don’t have an account, you should get one!
- Second of all, I want to explain to all of the remixers that entered PMA’s first ever remix contest something: winning the Gifted remix contest doesn’t get you your own show on PMA just like that — I plan on hosting more remix contests in the future, and if you want to win the title of being PMA’s Resident DJ, you have to enter in all of them, and WIN! Basically, the first DJ to win 3 remix contests gets the title. Look out for future remix contests for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and DiscoTech.
- I also want to thank all of the people who have signed up to the newly premiered pmaBLAST. The first blast will be found in your inboxes this Saturday, so keep an eye out! I’m completely stoked that this first issue will reach over 1,000 people! I have big plans for this, but we can’t do it alone. The pmaBLAST is looking for sponsors (for cool giveaways) and artists to work with (for cooler exclusives) — contact me for more info. A wise man once told me that we are one big musical community and we need to work together to achieve greatness.
- The last thing I wanted to address is a bit more serious. I wanted to talk about leaked tracks. More often than not, I will not be offering high-profile leaked tracks available for download. It’s as hard for me to announce this as it is for you to hear it, trust me. Sometime’s I get so excited about a song, that I have this almost uncontrolable urge to share it. It doesn’t even have to be on the blog, I am constantly forwarding music to my friends and family. But I understand that while PMA gets bigger and bigger, my urge to share the music I love becomes less and less innocent. I will try my best, however, you let you guys listen to the songs via streaming alternatives to downloading like IMEEM or YouTube.
I don’t want to leave this post ending on a sour note, so here is an *exclusive* track from Gigamesh (my favorite member of the fantastic DiscoTech), just for you, loyal readers. It’s called “Creepy Fingers.” It’s sticky and dirty, and I like it. This guy has given me nothing but great music in the past. PMA has also exclusively premiered Gigamesh’s remixes of Animal Collective’s “My Girls” and Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place.” Look out for more greatness by this dude.

who won the remix contest? awaiting the results
YES i am so happy for your success
i respect you for quitting the posting of big leaks, but yah i agree with the other opinions… defs tell us about them!!
Congratulations, you deserve it more than anyone in my opinion. And serieusly, don’t worry, I couldn’t care less that you’re no longer posting popular pre-leaks. If I’m really interested I’ll pick em off the net on some other blog. It feels like PMA is growing up, swapping high-profile leaks for exclusives and relatively unknown tracks. The reason I keep coming back here is because of the exclusive content, good writings and interesting opinions. Keep up the good work, you’re doing better than ever.
hey luis i was wondering if you had a hypem account and if so it would be awesome if i could add you and see what tunes you have
I agree with David. give us the “low-down”! if anything, via Twitter =] i’ll follow you (or keep following you) if you let us know when things hit the net!
Hey, Luis, even if you dont post the song (which is totally fine) please at least mention its out when U hear it so that we can find it ourselves. You can`t get in trouble for that.
I’m actually pretty proud of you for your third bullet! Now maybe the servers wont ever be down
haha. Great blog, no, FANTASTIC blog. I hope you’re around for a very long time.
The race to become PMA’s resident DJ sounds fun!!
I bet it feels good to see that all this is paying off, you have 1,000 people at your nuts at all times, hahah so great!
Love this blog, with or without illegal sneak peaks at my favorite band’s new album.
Just as long as you keep giving me danceable yummyness like “Creepy Fingers”
Aww, it’s okay Luis.
I’ve been noticing that you’ve been more careful about posting such songs, but I totally understand that you can get in big trouble for a certain song — I don’t think a song is worth losing PMA over! Thanks for all of the hard work you put in
1,000 seems to be the number of the day, eh?
