Mixcloud
Launched at the end of last year, Mixcloud is already making
waves in the music industry, quickly establishing itself as one of
the standard platforms for DJs wishing to share their mixes. The
start-up has been launched on the tightest of shoestring budgets:
its founders have spent the first few months living and working in
a cheaper-than-cheap warehouse in West London, swapping skills with
other start-ups and taking on odd jobs to supplement their income
to keep overheads as low as possible. It looks like all the hard
work might have paid off: more than 1,000 online radio shows are
now submitted to the site each week.
