Ektoplazm needs your help!

Any way to donate after the campaign is over? We are back from a trip, cards are in a near-death comatose for a couple of months.

Wow rotwang you really took the plunge! 600$ is a lot of money! You inspiration, you.

 

Woohoo...nice one Rotwang. Ten times my amount! You probably set a "," at the wrong position in PayPal, no?

 

Nah, just kidding. I probably should donate more, given the amount of great albums I downloaded from there....shame on me.

Indeed. Respect Phil!

Thanks guys, but tbh I can't take much credit - I have a load of money I didn't earn on account of some deceased relatives, and I don't doubt Ektoplazm deserves it more than I do.

regardless that is still generous.

Minimum donation from me. It's all I could afford as only have $250 to my name and that's already theoretically gone on bills, life, etc.

I had to contribute something and be a part of it though.

[Veracohr]

Pretty darned close now!

 

I couldn't believe someone donated $600 - major kudos to that person!

By the way this is a little worrying

" An expanded musical scope: we’d like to feature many more styles of independent electronic music without descending into multi-genre chaos. Only follow the styles you are personally interested in!"

 

I can already imagine in the near future you have dedicated pages for trance, dubstep, etc. and the site will slowly descend into mainstream/casual site.

 

Let's hope I'm wrong

Aw come on Penzo, don't be so exclusive!

I hope you're wrong too

 

I certainly don't want it to become another mainstream portal... the goal here is simply to broaden the horizons to adjacent styles of electronic music. There's a lot of good stuff going on out there. I feel that limiting the offerings to a single style of electronic music is something of a suicide pact. Everything needs to grow and change in time.

 

Reddit does a great job of supporting niche communities while appealing to a broad audience. I'd like to follow something a little like that...

[Rotwang]

Looks like they've made it.

Congrats! Woohoo!

[technosomy]

[Drosophila]

Just managed to donate Good to see the goal being met!!!

[Panoptes]

Congrats ! This makes me happy!

[Xamanist]

(Standing ovation)

[Basilisk]

Looks like we made it with time to spare there's another 9 hours to the campaign if anyone would still like to contribute (the more the merrier). In the coming days I'll make a post about what happens next. Thanks again for everyone's support I'm excited to get to work!
