Green Tone Bits: Session #15 (Double-Sided Special)
Monday, June 14th, 2010
The fifteenth Green Tone Bits session is just a few days away.
Double yay!
Mark your calendars: Friday, 18 June 2010, from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT and… Saturday, 19 June 2010, from 18:00 to 20:00 GMT.
Mark your calendars: Saturday, 19 June 2010, from 18:30 to 20:00 GMT and… from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT.
This session is yet another special event: like those cool vinyl records, it’s a double-sided session. Also, unlike the previous sessions, this one won’t take place on a Friday, but on a Saturday.
So, to sum up: there will be two sessions on June 19.
A-Side will be a shorter session, taking place at Projecto no.1. And before you ask…
“Project no.1 is an temporary artistic laboratory that aims to simultaneously integrate a workspace , cultural manifestations and also a experimental bakery.”
We were kindly invited to provide the soundtrack to the colour+food experience (an artistic experience based on food and food colouring - and you can expect green-coloured food, of course), part of the Experimental Bakery of Projecto no.1.
Projecto no.1 is located at Rua da Atalaia 31, 1200-037, Lisbon [map] - former place of the Lisbon Lomography Embassy, right in the heart of Bairro Alto.
B-Side will be taking place at Ogâmico [map], our headquarters, starting at 22:30.
As usual, both sessions will be streamed to the website (and you can listen to the sets live) and we’ll load your mp3 player with the previous sessions’ playlist at both events as well.
With a double-sided session, you have even fewer excuses to miss it! See you soon!

Green Tone Bits: Session #14 (Chiptune Special)
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010
The fourteenth Green Tone Bits session is just a few days away. Power-up!
Mark your calendars: Friday, 28 May 2010, from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT.
Session #14 will be one of a kind - it will be totally dedicated to a more specific genre that has already been featured in pretty much all the playlists since our first session.
*drum roll*
Chiptune: 8-bit, Bitpop, Nintendocore, Picopop, Micromusic… That’s what Session #14 will be all about.
We’ll be paying tribute to classic video games - and to all artists (bands, musicians, etc.) who were inspired by them to create awesome, memorable tracks.
As a bonus (pun intended), there will be a couple of classic video games setup at Ogâmico [map] - the usual place - for you to play. Do you remember Super Mario Bros., Pac-Man or Tetris on a Nintendo console?
Dress code? 8-bit Tie optional, of course.
As usual, we will be loading our previous sessions’ playlists to your MP3 player, if you want to (iPod, pen drive or anything in between).
If you really can’t warp yourself (again, pun intended) to Ogâmico, listen to the live streaming of the DJ set, right here on the website.
See you there!

Green Tone Bits: Session #13
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
The thirteenth Green Tone Bits session is just a few days away. Yay!
Mark your calendars: Friday, 30 Abril 2010, from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT.
Daylight saving time started, earthquakes struck and volcanos erupted - but we are still ready for the next Green Tone Bits session!
Stop for a refreshing drink at Ogâmico, stay for the whole night or - if you really can’t make it - tune in to the live streaming on the website. It sure will be more fun than spending your friday night watching the telly.
And don’t forget to share the word to your friends who are in desperate need for some fresh new tunes.
As usual, we will be loading our previous sessions’ playlists to your MP3 player, if you want to (iPod, pen drive or anything in between).
See you soon!

Green Tone Bits: Session #12
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
The twelfth Green Tone Bits session is just a few days away. Woot!
Mark your calendars: Friday, 26 March 2010, from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT.
Sun is shining, birds are singing, flowers are growing… Spring is here - and we are happy about it! Fresh new releases will be our response to the warm(er) weather.
Also, warm evenings = Ogâmico’s outdoor patio goodness!
If you do come, bring your iPod (or any other MP3 player) and load all our previous sessions’ playlists; if you can’t make it, you can always tune in to the live streaming on the site.
See you next Friday!

Green Tone Bits: Session #11 (First Anniversary)
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
The eleventh Green Tone Bits session is just a few days away. Happy anniversary!
Mark your calendars: Friday, 19 February 2010, from 22:30 to 02:00 GMT.
Our first anniversary is here. For the past year, we’ve been showcasing and sharing some of the best free digital music from all around the globe, proving that - even though there are still some strong non-believers - free music can be just as good as its paid counterpart. We showed that “free” doesn’t necessarily mean “cheap” and that eksprimentell-teknisk-avantgarde-saer-dop-steikbra-metal-musikk isn’t the only music genre being released by netlabels. The bottom line: quality music can be free - and legal.
We had a reasonably good (live) attendance at the sessions. Online, people from several countries (the US, Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, the UK, etc.) tuned in to the live streaming and/or downloaded the session’s playlists. Still, we believe we can reach a lot more people.
So, next friday - February 19 - we’ll be celebrating the Green Tone Bits’ accomplishments and future - and free music in general. Ogâmico [map] is still our headquarters - and there will even be a special drink to match the event!
Also, as usual: listen to the live streaming on the site if you can’t make it; if you do make it to Ogâmico, bring your sad, empty MP3 player and we’ll happily transfer the previous sessions’ playlists.
You really can’t say no to an evening like this, can you? Cya!
