SIGNING OFF

So ends the Electric Sound Basement, in its current form. This week was out last show. I'm relocating for a while, so I won't be able to continue on CIUT. I will, however, try to get some DJ sets out there, and will more than likely have a brand new blog going in a couple of months time, with perhaps a podcast. Please check back for more info in the coming weeks and months.

It's been a blast sharing tracks with you over the airwaves over the past few years, and I'll miss the thrill of walking into the studio every Tuesday at 5pm, waiting to press the buttons as the preceding show comes to an end. To all of you who called me to give props, or sent me emails, and especially those who sent in some hard earned cash during our fundraising drives, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT******

The time has come to let y'all know...

The Electric Sound Basement will be doing its final show on CIUT at the end of this month. Your host, Guy Stevos, is moving to France for an indefinite period. While I'm thrilled to be exploring new places, and meet new people, I will most certainly miss, with a deep langour, the environs of CIUT, and its beloved listeners. Thus, with a heavy heart, I announce my departure from this show that has been a weekly staple in my life, and hopefully for some of you as well, since 2003.

As for the content of this month's shows, there will be no goodbye-style broadcasts of favourite moments, or best-of selections. ESB was never about that. We'll end the show exactly how we've been doing it since it began: with new tracks that you've never heard before.

I will continue, from my abode in rural France, to do a monthly DJ set, and if I can get it together, a podcast may be in the works...and as tempted as I am to make you that promise, I won't, for fear of breaking it. BUT...The Electric Sound Basement will still exist in some form, and this blog will by all means live on, even if for a while it's merely on a sporadic basis.

In any case, we've got one show left so let's make the most of it.

No ESB this week...last week's show has been rebroadcast instead.

We'll be back as normal next week.
