At the same time they will be able to see that eco-friendly can also be chic and that aspiration towards good taste and design can go hand-in-hand with trying to help conserve the planet's resources. In fact, ecological design is now at the cutting edge of home design, with traditional products becoming ever more stylish.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.objekts.co.uk/brands/Ovetto.html">Ovetto</a> is a great example of this. The egg-shaped bin is divided into three compartments, each a different colour - for paper, plastic, cans and so on - and each compartment has a door for changing the bag and a small round lid at the top for dropping each item in. There is even a plastic bottle and can crusher on top to reduce the volume of the waste.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.objekts.co.uk/brands/Ovetto.html">Ovetto Bins</a> boast excellent green credentials in their own right. The external parts are made from ABS; the recycled ABS used for the white and coloured parts is 40-70% recycled industrial discard; while the recycled polypropylene used for the black parts inside is 100% recycled from end-user products like PCs, printers and so on.<br /><br />The <a href="https://www.objekts.co.uk/brands/Ovetto.html">Ovetto Recycling Bins</a> continue to be a favourite with <a href="http://www.objekts.co.uk">Objekts</a> customers throughout the UK and we wish them every success with the exhibition.Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-32610160681928356062009-07-03T07:58:00.000-07:002009-07-03T08:06:07.350-07:00Beach House Radio For Bars/Stores/Shops etcJust a quick blog entry to mention our Premium Service.<br /><br />As you may know, we now run a premium service for just $4.00 per month.

The cost of providing this many live streams became to crippling for our small, not-for-profit station and we could no longer finance so much from our own pockets.<br /><br />At the beginning of 2009, we brought Beach House Radio back on a very limited budget.

As he grew, so did his passion and involvement with music. While making his way around the US bases in Europe, he began to compose his own music. "As technology advanced, I got the idea that I could do everything; composing, producing, performing, mixing..." says Michael. "The technology became affordable and allowed my vision to come to pass."<br /><br />We have added a host of new tracks from Michael to our playlist - <a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com/listenlive.html">Listen Live Now</a><br /><br />in association with <a href="http://www.objekts.co.uk">Objekts - Home Design Accessories</a>Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-8931607816521777902009-03-25T01:16:00.000-07:002009-03-25T01:25:42.076-07:00Catya Mare - New Tracks & Awards<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpEjJixs_7R1girJ682GMGPzrd_H2_Hw76PuhGQh7FDGln1w7R5vvEKDzoroaiPUL7o6aBf440BSLCq0hvzMdc46h9N8JpDrgstLKsyMENZYf1VjjilnMKLg_JtEbxQ-Bc7EJZQqAPvNm/s1600-h/catya.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpEjJixs_7R1girJ682GMGPzrd_H2_Hw76PuhGQh7FDGln1w7R5vvEKDzoroaiPUL7o6aBf440BSLCq0hvzMdc46h9N8JpDrgstLKsyMENZYf1VjjilnMKLg_JtEbxQ-Bc7EJZQqAPvNm/s320/catya.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317036692260321394" /></a><br />Long time listeners to Beach House will already be familiar with Catya Mare.

Lemonchill.<br /><br />Great track now added to the playlist - En Larmes - check it out.<br /><br />Meanwhile, here's what Lemonchill had to say to BHR:<br /><br />"I grew up while listening to music all my life (all kinds of music:<br />60, 70, 80, jazz, electronic, industrial, gothic, synthpop, ambient, chill out, lounge, trance and more). In 2005 I finished my studies at BPM music college where I learned everything I know today. Since then for two years I have been making and creating music.<br /><br />Now I am trying to combine all of these great music styles to one group in my album "SENTANT". It is a mixture of all those music styles. My album "SENTANT” (feeling in French) took me over one year to finish. It is very intense and personal, after a very painful relationship I went through. I guess this whole album is like a therapy for me to "let out" everything I had in my heart through music. The girl that was the "muse and inspiration" for this album will remain a mystery for now. I think everyone that heard my music can hear the emotions and feelings floating in my music as I wrote in the headlines: this music is for your heart and soul.<br />enjoy...."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com">Now playing - Beach House Radio</a><br /><br />PS.

All tracks playing out at 128kbps. I have to say, listening to the stream myself, the quality is great. Anything over 128kbps causes some streaming problems for people listening via mobile internet or over an older wireless network.<br /><br />Anyway, more tracks will be added over the next couple of weeks plus we will have our first new artist of the week next Wednesday.<br /><br />Just a quick thanks for all the messages of support you have been sending us, we appreciate every one. YOU are the reason we needed to get BHR back up and running so quickly.<br /><br />Hopefully we can add a few more streams as we get into the Spring.<br /><br />Finally, we have entered the world of Twitter - BHR, always keen to jump on the bandwagon! Not sure how interesting it will be as we don't live crazily exciting lives. Anyway, check it out from the website if you desparately need to know if we are having a coffee or walking the dog!<br /><br />Later.<br /><a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com">www.beachhouseradio.com</a><br />With support as always from:<br /><a href="http://www.objekts.co.uk">Objekts</a><br />&<br /><a href="http://www.ambientlounge.dk">Ambient Lounge Scandinavia</a>Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-14687773893244686222009-02-22T08:54:00.000-08:002009-02-22T09:00:40.462-08:00Hey guys, we're back!<br /><br />After a few long months of crying into our beer about our sad demise, we've got our act together and BHR is back on air.<br /><br />Okay, so pro's and cons - for now, streams are extremely limited. As you may know, after our original broadcast was listed in the iTunes directory, we could not cope with the amount of listeners. So for now, we hope you can log onto the stream but if you can't, be patient. Oddly, I would ask for you not to pass our details on for the time being as I am sure we will be pretty full up with previous listeners.<br /><br />Another con (for the time being) is that the playlist will be pretty basic until we get time to play around with it some more and fix the bugs and tweaks, so please bear with us.<br /><br />Finally the pros (well pro actually, there's only one!) - we are now broadcasting in superb 128kbps quality. For non techies, this means you can listen to our station in superb quality.<br /><br />Anyway, we're gonna be pretty busy over the coming weeks but as usual, get in touch with any comments or questions.<br /><br />Nice to be back.<br /><br />Lee @ BHR<br /><a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com">www.beachhouseradio.com</a><br />with help from <a href="http://www.objekts.co.uk">Objekts</a>Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-5841023647479746592009-02-21T01:20:00.000-08:002009-02-21T01:22:06.144-08:00We'll be back soon.........We are working hard to bring BHR back within the next few days - limited streams will be available to begin with.

Rather than repeat it here, pop along to <a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com">www.beachhouseradio.com</a> and have a read.<br /><br />To cut a long story short and looking to the future, we hope to be back broadcasting before the end of the year with very limited streams.<br /><br />We would like to take time to thank all of our listeners and a special mention goes to online design boutique Objekts (<a href="http://www.objekts.co.uk">www.objekts.co.uk</a>) for all their help so far.Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-25635181958115378402008-10-10T00:18:00.000-07:002008-10-10T00:19:20.139-07:00Bye Bye Beach HouseAfter just over 2 years of broadcasting, Beach House Radio will cease broadcasting at the end of October.<br /><br />The sad reason behind throwing 2 years of hard work in the bin is that we have done too well.The recent inclusion in iTunes radio directory has led for unprecidented demand for our streams. Unfortunately, it costs a sackfull of money to add extra bandwidth.<br /><br />We hoped, through the help of sponsors and advertisers, we could bring you our station for years to come. However, it seems the companies out there do not share our view and we have been unable to raise funds.<br /><br />I and the other 2 partners have run out of money and we just can't afford to pump any more into it.<br /><br />This decision has only just been taken, so things are a little "up in the air" at the moment. We'll report back in the blog when the decision sink in.<br /><br />In all, a sad day for us - our dream is over.Beach House Radio.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02183206433719682022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003363922229143764.post-4358474650451209852008-09-10T00:38:00.000-07:002008-09-10T00:42:02.612-07:00Itunes & Artist of the Week<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uyCuofU2j_sKxywViwO70ID2RL3jRCgJJQO5X3-Kdw-p05yNTGEI1_mQEep1bnn_z6GO8hJkWvndyEwcHN7WGFKcZJSoHHPw2JAYHv0bZoac3nhaJgZmDvdTbYXVQrsl7GH7snLl67Nb/s1600-h/clearer).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244294340975496130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uyCuofU2j_sKxywViwO70ID2RL3jRCgJJQO5X3-Kdw-p05yNTGEI1_mQEep1bnn_z6GO8hJkWvndyEwcHN7WGFKcZJSoHHPw2JAYHv0bZoac3nhaJgZmDvdTbYXVQrsl7GH7snLl67Nb/s320/clearer).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Before we get onto our craking new artist of the week, we would just like to thank iTunes for including Beach House Radio in the iTunes radio list.

From being bombarded with great new music from the likes of this weeks Artist of the Week, Area 27; to spending 3 days in the english countryside listening to some great music.<br /><br />If you want to find out what we got up to at the Big Chill Festival (UK), visit <a href="http://www.beachhouseradio.com/bigchill.html">http://www.beachhouseradio.com/bigchill.html</a> Here you will find loads of pics and a quick insight into our weekend. Video clips are also available on our TV channel at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/beachhouseradio">www.youtube.com/beachhouseradio</a><br /><br />We are proud to announce this week's artist Area 27. Formed in 2004 by Shalien & The Lord of The Starfields, Area 27 is a collaborative music project that has remained somewhat enigmatic.<br />The debut CD "Magik & Mayhem" was concieved and recorded in an unorthodox fashion at a series of inspirational locations and makeshift studios. These locations included a converted office floor in a very cosmopolitan section of Melbourne, Australia, a decommissioned navy base on the Central Coast of California and a magikal, serene property in the California high desert..<br />The music draws from a wide range of influences, from obvious contemporaries; Portishead, Massive Attack etc to the not so obvious but strong influence of artits as varied as David Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, INXS, Prince, Coldplay, Radiohead & Tom Waits.<br />You can find out more here <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Area+27">www.last.fm/music/Area+27</a><br /><br />Catch the tracks Black Sun and Dancing on The Moon now playing on the station.<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />PS.
