Squee! Eclectica's Got a New Mic!

Guess what..?  Thanks to a HUGELY generous holiday gift, Eclectica's sound quality has just been elevated to the next level of awesome! XD  I've just gotten a Blue brand, Silver Edition "Yeti" condenser microphone (which in levels of quality is out of this WORLD compared to the mic I was originally using), and  I am SO EXCITED to share the news with you! XD

..So what does that mean for the show, exactly..?  Well, it means that whenever you hear my voice on-air, the quality of the sound in the voiceovers will be much, much improved. XD  Woohoo!  *does a happy dance*  Below you'll find a super-quick recording to give you guys an idea of what's to come (not much mixing, leveling, etc.), but I hope you'll agree that the quality of Eclectica's production from here on out has just been improved by leaps & bounds. ^_^

I hope you all had a marvelous New Year and holiday season, and that you come back soon and often to hear what's in store for Eclectica in the year to come! :)  -And of course, as always; if you have requests for the show, comments, questions, suggestions, or ideas, that I hear from you either on Eclectica's Facebook page, in a comment somewhere here, or via my e-mail, at djselchie@gmail.com. ^_^

Thank you guys so much for listening, visiting and supporting the show, and brightest blessings for the New Year!

An Extra Special Holiday Gift From Eclectica

As a last little holiday gift from Eclectica to all of you out there, here's one final episode for 2013.  With the hopes of brightening up the season for dancers and non-dancers alike, I've compiled a selection of holiday music both chill and boisterous, traditional and unique that I hope you'll love. ^_^

Thanks to Ariel Publicity & Podsafe Music Network for the vast majority of music here, and special thanks to Kiva and Jonah Knight, who gave their kind permission for me to play their music for you here.  Thank you all, so much.  Without you and resources like you, I would have nothing to spin for the good listeners out there, so thank you, thank you and thank you for your help in making this podcast possible. ♥♥

Featuring Christmas themes, Hanukkah-inspirations, non-denominational pieces and music from around the world, this show is meant to augment your holiday celebrations, however you choose to observe them- no matter what tradition or faith you practice. ^_^  Whether you're into up-tempo pieces, chill, reverent music, more traditional Middle Eastern vibes, or harder-driving, modern tunes with a Western feel, it's my hope that this episode will have something for -everyone. ^_^

Featuring music by Naser Musa, Brothers of the Baladi, The Klezmonauts, Heather Dale and more, I pray this music adds to your holiday in all the best ways, moves you in body and in spirit, and adds new music to your repertoire and audio collection for many seasons to come. :):)

Happy Holidays, and Happy Dancing to All!
