Hey Readers,
If you haven’t noticed over the past few weeks, our stream of content has died down a bit. We have been battling with understaffing, along with a few other obstacles, which have led us to some changes here at the site. With that, you probably also noticed the two new columns on the front page, “Curation” & “Creation.” We hope that this will help us differentiate between our blog content and our label content moving forward, and also allow us to focus more on what original music we are putting out there.
Moving forward, all content streaming through “Curation” will feature regular news, videos and mp3 streams you have come to know and love here at Potholes. “Creation” will serve as a way for us to better capitalize off our label projects under Potholes Music. We have a ton of great releases coming up, including albums from rapper X, Black Noi$e & BK Beats, Javis FauX, Man Mantis and much more.
We feel that this new format will also take a lot of the stress off of us as far as being solely a news feed, as we continue to find ourselves more constrained by the realities of also having to work real jobs, go to school and the like. You can still expect us to work to curate an excellent music experience, though!
With that, we’d love to get any additional feedback from you guys, the readers. We really value your opinion and hope that you can get down with our new direction. While it isn’t all that different, it is indeed a change, and we’d like to hear your thoughts.
Many thanks,
-David Reyneke

you guys are great!
I sent it in, let me know what you think
Thanks for the support, we appreciate it.
huge fan of the site, put me onto some great music and writing. only thing i would like to see is a search bar… unless its already there and I’m just an idiot haha keep up the great work though
First off, huge fan of the site… it’s a daily stop for me no matter what the format. The site design/aesthetic has always been on point (I think it’s the same guy that does your mixtape cover art) but you guys need to do a refresh from a user experience (UX) angle. You have your label stuff sandwiched between your blog and your reviews on the homepage so it gets lost and looks like just another post… I would imagine some people don’t even know about the label. Also the label page looks like the content was forced into a template you guys set up for the blog. You’re putting out some ridiculous music and it deserves to be showcased more than looking like another blog post. Also… get this thing mobile friendly. That is all. Hit me up for some gratis UX work… it’s the least I can do for all the good music you’ve turned me on to. I also just really wanted to use the word ‘gratis’.
No real feedback to add, but Im always amazed at how you guys are able to keep up with the constant stream of new music pushed out everyday. Better you guys than me haha. Keep it up!
Hope you’ll still be showing love to the beat scene through your articles. That’s how i fell in luv with this website, gathering all the important news daily about these talented people that a lot of other blogs don’t even know. While letting young talented people get a shot once in a while when you feel they deserve it.
However thanks for all your work so far!
i’ll keep an eye on you all, see how it goes.
Peace++

I sent in a email about a week back to write with you guys, It would be great if you could check it out! I’ve been a big fan of the site for awhile now!
That should be back up now that we have straightened out some of the logistics. Thanks for reading, Geoff.
