    Im not really a fan of any that you've chosen there.. personally i like things kept fairly simple as its easier on the eye, easier to find what you want.

    The themes you've picked could work for you if you have the info and content to pack it out. If you are only going to have an about, contact and mixes section I personally feel the themes you've picked are overkill.

    If you want to go the premium theme path, check out woothemes.com or elegantthemes.com as they both do a lot of really nice simple, but functional themes. At the end of the day, you want people to keep coming back.

    To personalise your page even more, integrate a flash animation of some sort (which is easily skipped fo those without flash) that will play when someone arrives at your URL. Then have it go to your wordpress main page once its finished playing.

    Ahh, I see. Well what do you think of me just sticking with my current website and then just updating the banner and content? Why even bother picking up a WordPress setup?

    I want to thank all of you for still coming back here and helping me out through this pain staking process! I truly appreciate everyones input!

    Looks like a good start. I'd add a video that people can play, an MP3 player, or something interactive. You could easily post a SoundCloud mix up with their widget.

    I've -re-done my page like 5 times now, and it's finally somewhere i'm pretty happy with. Check it out to get some ideas. I'm going for simple and to the point with mine. Less is more type thing.

    That's really clean Vilinus!

    I finally got it through my head. I know exactly what i'm going to do / have to do. Idk why it took me so long to comprehend everything. Was completely on dumdum mode I guess.

    Thank you all for your input ! Finally got it .

    I'll post back here after I fix / upgrade / update it!

    check out tumblr.com for blog ideas or wordpress, content is king if u ask me i own a tumblr blog, I like it because of the reblog feature.
    i also have a website and face book page u should do the same its allmost like a part time job, comming home fromday job, eat, and the blog work website followed by 4 to 5 hrs sleep to go back to day job and weekends when booked are overtime which pay the most !
    read "crush it" by gary vaynerchuck the dude is a bit of a dick in person but has major internet buzz and shows u intel on how to build personal branding

    That is very cool! They have very solid branding, an excellent design/marketing team behind them and it looks to be world domination for future plans. It will be very good to see where they take it, and how far. *Looks to good things ahead*

    If you get a chance to collaborate at some point in the future, send an update as it would be good to see how things go.

    *Side note: Your blog makes my days much much better when at work
