hi everyone, wondered if anyone has any recommendations for some business hosting. cheapness should not be the sole determining factor although obviously i don't want to pay over the odds. the site will store and stream flash animations and needs to be fairly robust plus a range of bandwidth...

hi everyone, i have to replace my aging studio monitors as i can longer feel very much bass from them - obviously rendering them completely useless. does anyone have any recommendations for budget monitors? the maximum i can afford is 250 - 300 ukp. many thanks!

heres a wicked mix by my good mate, dj twist: "A full decade on from the summer of Hip-Hop infused jungle I've actually finished my FIRST Jump-Up Jungle studio mix! Big speaker-destroying basslines, Hip-Hop and Ragga samples, mashed-Up amens all cut-up and rejiggled... perfect summer...

now that p2p networks like soulseek are bereft of this kind of music, does anyone know any good torrent sites where you can register without having to jump through hoops to get these tunes? i've got a huge amount of tracks to trade, just having difficulty finding people to trade with! thanks...
