I want to thank everyone who made our April fundraising campaign a success. We exceeded our goal of $1500 thanks to your generosity.
I am always humbled and amazed at the support given for Burning The Ground I could not continue without this community.
Our next fundraising campaign will be in October but as always you can contribute at any time whether it be a donation or just leaving a friendly comment.
Sincerely, -DjPaulT
Hello, BTG community,
It is April! and time to spring into our first fundraiser of 2024, last October we had a very successful fundraiser in which you guys chipped in and helped us meet our goal. Thank you again. For those new to the site, we have a fundraiser every six months to keep funds in the Burning The Ground PayPal account which goes towards site hosting, website security, monitoring & protection, buying requested records, and equipment maintenance.
Due to the increasing costs of site hosting and security monitoring, I have upped our target goal from $1000.00 to $1500.00 which I know we will meet without any doubt.
Any amount that you can chip in will be beneficial.
You can help with these tremendous costs by visiting our Donation page on PayPal or clicking on one of the yellow donate buttons anywhere on the site. You can make a secure donation, using your debit card, credit card, or PayPal account.
Thank you so much for chipping in.

Hi, BTG community,
I hope you are all doing fantastic! There are a few things I wanted to talk about first regarding 24-bit files. These files are only available for seven days; after that, they will no longer be available. If you enjoy grabbing this format, I suggest subscribing to BTG so that you can be alerted every time I make a new post. You can also follow BTG on one of our social media platforms, Facebook or Instagram.
These files are available for only seven days because of their larger file size; unlike the 16-bit files, I cannot host 24-bit files for an extended period on my server. I also typically leave the 16-bit files active for about three years, and then at the end of each year, I remove one year’s worth of 16-bit files to make room for another year of uploads. This keeps my hosting service happy since I am on a shared server and not using as much space.
Burning the Ground has been around since about 2008/09, and during that period my vinyl transferring skills and equipment have changed, so periodically I revisit older posts, especially those five years or older, and give them a new transfer. I love looking back at what I have posted in the past giving some of those records, in my opinion, an upgrade.
Many emails ask me to re-upload old files or send download links. I do not send links or files. I spend many hours working on new records, so I rarely have time to send out old files or links to everyone who asks for them.
Emails or private messages on social media are something that I try to answer, but I admit that I don’t always do so because of the number of them that I get each day. I do try to read each email or message. I apologize if I don’t answer yours right away or at all.
Many answers to questions can be found in the site’s FAQ.
I also love hearing your comments, so I always encourage you to leave comments. It is a way to engage with others who share your same interests in 80s and 90s remixes, and it helps build our community. I would love to see some new names in the comments section.
A reminder that the first week of April 2024 we will be having our spring fundraising drive, so just a heads up for that. I hope that you can help support BTG during that time.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I hope it answers some questions.

Hello everyone,
I hope you enjoyed the block of Pseudo Echo singles over the past couple of weeks. It was fun for me to work on these records, some of which I had not listened to in quite a while. Pseudo Echo deserves more attention, for sure. I will be doing more artist spotlights now and then in the future. If that is something you guys like, let me know in the comments.
I have had a few things going on this week, including appointments and some work going on at my house, so today I will not be posting. I will be back next week as usual with a whole new week of posts. In the meantime, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
