Cool that it's on iTunes!

But why does it cost $6 more to get the last track? [/whiney cheapskate ]

I would definately be willing to look into that.. I spend quite a bit monthly on music as it is, it would be nice if there was some sort of emusic style thing for labels I actually purchase music from...  deeplife should do that...       and totally on the dj-tools access  something like $15/mo gives you access to all releases + asd's + project files if released + basslines + exclusive loops + maybe even submissions from the artists of reaktor/reason/plugin presets/etc files...  it would totally be worth it to me and I don't even get paid to dj imagine how valuable it is to the pros..n   

right on, i will definitely do all that i can in order to make this project happen then.  it may be that this will take some time to develop (months, years even), but i feel that flash technology combined with actionscript (ecmascript standard) and mxml, and the free cross-platform flash player (even works on opera browser for wii) should be THE platform for downloadable/ streamable media in 07 and beyond. Beatport is all flash based, and if we were to set up login access to DJ's, the Artists, and the Listeners to DeepLife's own database of project files, plugin presets, homemade reaktor ensembles / max msp - Pd patches / video renders/ visualization patches, then that would definitely mark a new era in collaboration between the dj, the producer, the listener, and the label.  This new paradigm will have to adhere to rights of the original artists, but as a community of artists it may be something that can be copywritten after the song/album/zip pack is completed or for a licensed subscription.  Subscribers would be the artists and radio (for free) until the pack is copywritten, and then released for public beta to the dj's and listeners for paid download, with access to future remixes and projects as well.

This would ideally prevent abuse of non-digital rights managment enforced mp3's such as what emusic offers, in the sense that since the iterative content (constantally being updated / changed / remixed) of the producer(s) would evolve as the collaboration continued, sustaining interest and satisfaction to the buyer.

Basically, from DeepLife Record's standpoint, a remix project would benefit all Artists involved in the release.  The dj would benefit from a more immersive canvas to paint / interact with, and in turn the listener in the club or at home would experience a richer spectrum of talents and sonic textures.

As of now, it would be very possible to sell zip files to the public per download, or open up access to subscribers.  I will get together with the rest of the DeepLife stakeholders and see what develops.  Hopefully we will have something by Cornerstone on (data) CD-R for use, and then launch a beta web portal post-Cstone.

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated, not to mention a qualified web programmer.  404, are you there? 

Quillroader update:the list of stores now includes Sony Connect, Juno Digital, Clickgroove, InProducion, Liquid, AOL Music Now, Napster, Audio Lunchbox, Real Rhapsody, and Vms.

I'd love to help, I have experience working with flash and a lot of php/mysql work, but unfortunately I haven't done any projects of this scale (not that I wouldn't love to learn!), and I don't have the development tools (mainly macromedia flash).

It does sound like an exciting project that I would love to be a part of if I can help in any way.... maybe if someone is strong in flash and needs a php or mysql programmer, I could help that way.. I also have a lot of server experience (*nix and windows) so definately pm or email if i can help in anyway.
