About Me

Hi! I'm DJ Greg Rose (also known as Greg Retro in some of my musical projects).
I have a background in radio, and am a part-time club dj in San Francisco (ambient/chill/techhouse/microhouse). In addition, my musical partner Amy C (the other A2G co-conspiritor and the "A" of "A2G") and I form an ambient-ish sound collage project called distantHum.
I own 4500+ cds (not burns), as well as ~1500 pieces of vinyl (albums and 12" singles). It is proving difficult to make time to maintain the a2g sound by adding more songs, because that means I have to delete others (Live 365 only gives 1Gb of storage, which is great if you're running a low-quality stream, but only gives about 36 hours of music if you run a 64k mp3PRO broadcast as I do... cheap bastards).
While it appears that a live server is not in the cards for the near future, I am currently working on inputing all of my music into a playlist generator, which will generate a better sounding mix of music with fewer repeats. That, along with an upgrade to the next rung of station package (giving me twice as much storage space) should make A2G sound even better, and perhaps will increase listenership to the point of making a broadcast server worth the effort and $$$.
I hope A2G is enjoyable and exposes you to some great music that you would NEVER hear on traditional broadcast stations. For those electronic-heads listening, I hope that you gain a healthy respect for (or at least less fear for) guitars. For those indie-rock folks, I hope the stream opens you up to a world where electronics can be warm and inviting. A2G is only in the IDM genre because I play a lot of IDM - those of you that complain to me that I don't play all IDM... That's the POINT! A2G is supposed to spread across many genres - it's more about finding a specific sound or quality in music... and not necessarily about only playing one genre.
Nonetheless, please drop me a line if you have suggestions, criticisms or requests.
I'd love to hear from you!

- Greg

Twilight Radio has been here on Live 365 much longer than I have... but I'm amazed at how similar our streams are. Check it out!
