MP3 audio clips for Psytrance CDs! Now Available!

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I’ve just introduced sound clips for all new Psytrance CD releases over at First Rhythm Records. All CDs released since the turn of 2008 now have mp3 audio clips for every track and all future new weekly releases will have audio clips too!

As something I’ve been working on for a while i’m glad it has now gone live and hope you will all enjoy listening to all the new releases added every week. Just click on the little new-mp3.gif image next to each track and the audio will launch in your default player.

As there is such a huge catalogue of CDs available on the site, mp3 clips will be added over time to the back catalogue older Psytrance CDs. It’s a huge job but I’ll get there!

Thanks and happy listening!

First Rhythm Records back online with new site features

Friday, December 14th, 2007

First Rhythm Records, after a short break has relaunched with more features aimed at making your online experience better. Its taken some time to build with my own fair hands (with design help from our friends at PRWD) but the new site features include:

More items on the home page so you can view whats been happening that week with new releases and used vinyl and easy navigation to your preferred product area. Features on our home page include groupings of popular styles or eras of music ie Sasha classics, Renaissance, Hacienda anthems so you can instantly find tracks from special years or from popular dj’s, these areas will change regularly.

A list of recent searches is displayed on all pages to give you an idea of what people are using First Rhythm to find.

Record detail page suggests further tracks by artist and also suggests other items within the current category that you may be interested in.

On our website we have the opportunity for you to submit any of your wanted records for us to find. We will endeavor to find the submitted record and keep in touch with our findings.

Complete information including catalogue number is included within the product page of the record so you know that the item is the exact issue you want. This information is something we strive to provide because there is nothing more annoying that purchasing the wrong remix, so you will find that info on 99% of the product pages.
We have a unique skype calling facility for FREE calls to First Rhythm Records from your PC for anything from enquiries about items to placing and paying for your order and also the opportunity to listen to tracks. Just call - firstrhythm or click on the logo when its showing us as available on the home page to auto dial us.

At First Rhythm we do not display records on site which are not in stock unlike many other online dance stores whose stock is half sold out or is on back order, everything on site is in stock and available to order, the exception are the psytrance cds which usually take 2-3 days to despatch.

Running side by side with the website is this sister blog 1stRhythm that obviously you have already found! The blog will detail day to day happenings at FRR including stock deliveries, our fave tunes or site developments, just about anything will be posted complete with RSS feeds so you can keep up to date through your news reader.

The most important change apart from the new awesome design is online payments. We can now accept card payments online through the secure Worldpay server. The payment server is fully integrated with our checkout process and is quick, easy and safe to use. Payments can be made over the phone too with our new system, just call +44(0)161 408 1377 to plac your order over the phone, we still offer Paypal as a payment option too.
