Thanks!
Amazing. Well, I've been able to track down at least one of the tracks I
used to have on Beatport:
http://www.beatport.com/track/dubteeth-original-mix/1468089 as well as a 12
of some stuff I haven't heard: http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/the_lowlands
I'll keep looking. MP3.com had some amazing stuff on it in it's heyday even
though you had to wade through some truly awful stuff to get to it.
Kent, what likely happened to your stuff is that it may have been acquired
by Garageband.com (they ended up with the rights to much of mp3.com's
catalog) and they may have presented you with an opportunity to re-release
your stuff on that site when that happened via whatever email address you
had on file with mp3.com. This is what happened to me, I got a letter from
Garageband years ago saying that I could relaunch every one of my bands on
their site due to the acquisition, which I did, then deleted them after a
bout a year or two of not logging in anymore.
Eventually, a lot of the stuff got moved to iLike when Garageband was
closed.

Microlife is a collaboration between Ryan Szarko and Scott McFadyen.
Originating from Edmonton, Alberta Canada, the duo produced a variety of
house and downtempo tracks between 1999 and 2002 before moving on to other
projects. Most of the releases were publicly available on mp3.com and are
difficult to find. The mellow, bittersweet euphoria typical of their
productions is reminiscent of the spirit of Edmonton in late winter.

I don't know what happened to all the stuff that was on mp3.com -- I had a
bunch of tracks up there, some of which I'm not sure are still around.

I was going through a number of old CD's of data (found an outlook
archive with a number of messages from this list from late 2002) and
ran across a playlist from some mp3's that I once had. The artist was
microlife, and I got them from the old mp3.com. I had them up to about
2004, when I lost a huge chunk of data to a drive failure. I know a
lot of us used to have music on mp3.com, in fact it's where I first
heard of 313 member Dennis Desantis (known on mp3.com as Van Der Rohe)
as well as many others. The tracks I have in the playlist are:
\microlife\Atavism.mp3
\microlife\Modern_Life.mp3
\microlife\MPath.mp3
\microlife\Plex.mp3
\microlife\Night_Moves.mp3
\microlife\Space_to_Fly.mp3
\microlife\Stars_instrumental_mix.mp3
\microlife\The_City_and_Dreams.mp3
\microlife\Untitled.mp3
\microlife\Tropic_of_Cancer.mp3
\microlife\Gift_of_the_Magi.mp3
\microlife\Dub_Teeth.mp3
\microlife\Airports.mp3
I'm hoping that -someone- on the list has a fairly extensive
collection of old mp3.com stuff and that some of this stuff looks
familiar. I mean... I still listen to the old Van Der Rohe/Dennis
Desantis stuff on a regular basis as well as all of the old Christian
Bloch and Danny Anderson stuff from mp3.com (especially the Sean
Deason remix of Bloch's Langour) so the hope is that someone like
this old, extra super obscure stuff as much as I do.
