    This week’s new releases and restocks list is now posted on our website
    (http://www.groovedis.com).

    This past Wednesday we put online the first show on Groove Dis Radio.
    Running a little less than 74 minutes, the first edition of the Beat
    Experience (hosted by Dirk van den Heuvel) featured an eclectic mix of
    downtempo, house not house and jazzy jungle. Next Wednesday we will putting
    another edition of the Beat Experience online and in the coming weeks we
    will be adding additional shows to our line-up with different hosts and a
    different mix of music. We hope you enjoy these shows and that they help you
    to discover more of the great music we distribute and sell. Thanks for
    listening!

    For those who haven’t done so yet, don’t forget to enter our Stussy contest
    where you could win a way cool Stussy backpack, cap and poster. Soon you’ll
    have the opportunity to win a free subscription to Urb magazine and after
    that we have even more contests and promotions planned (but, we’re keeping
    them hush hush for the moment).

    And lastly, some notes regarding the organization of our website. We are
    moving the Labels list to the Stock page on our site. The list will remain
    the same, you just won’t be able to get to it directly from our main menu.
    We have also decided to get rid of the separate Charts section, however we
    will now be posting our Charts in the Forums. And we will now be posting
    Reviews in the Forums as well. By putting the Charts and Reviews in the
    Forums Section we can update them more often and without having to bother
    our webmaster. It also means that you are all free to post your Charts and
    Reviews as well. The Forums section has not gotten much traffic up to now,
    but we are hoping with these modifications that will change.
