Site Review: Get Some
by Chris
Pros
Got Some
There is a massive pile of content to found within the site, from free downloads, remixes, videos and the odd picture gallery.
The site is regularly updated (put’s us to shame a bit) so there is usually a fresh musical nugget waiting to get in you ear pipes. Leigh and co have kept the site really really simple, a we bloody love that, the number of times similar sites have way to much flying about, bulky flash players that take ages to load clogging up your online experience.
They often embed music files in the page via Soundcloud (boo!) which means there is no faffing about with downloading etc and you can really jump right in.
So what makes this different from the hundreds of ‘posh music blogs’ out there? For one these lads are fucking on it! I like to think of myself as fairly into the London underground music scene, but boy do these guys find some gems that I would have never come across in 1 million years…o yeah and they aren’t bad DJ’s themselves either!
They also organise and run GET SOME nights in and about the London area, which we are yet to attend after the bad timing of father’s day for the last one (sorry) we can’t wait to see how these chaps fair live.
A great all-round package that is certainly not ordinary, and a great way to discover new music that isn’t just Jay-Z’s latest album or some Lady Gaga remix. This ones for true music heads.
Cons
Got Some Suggestions
Errrrr can we have some more please? We have run out of mixes to listen to :(
Now that the site is coming on is size and length, maybe it’s time to start thinking about a horizontal nav of some kind, to make the users journey easier when sifting through content.
Use mixcloud! it’s way better!(we reckon) looks sexier and provides a better platform to showcase different artists and of course promote GET SOME as a brand.
