# MSP Waves?
YES! MSP Waves! You know, the STEEM radio station in the ["Peace, Abundancy, Love" Discord Server](https://discord.gg/UZG3sU5) - they have all kinds of great shows going on with witnesses, steem activities and music... wait...did I say "music"?! 

YES! MUSIC! Haha! One of the radio shows that happens on a Friday is called "**Spotlight on the Artist**" (@spotlight.artist), which is all about bringing musicians on and having a chat about their music in a fun, friendly and informal way. It's hosted by the "demented and euphoric duck" @d-vine and the charismatic @onemedia with help from a few tech wizards from the steem community!

# EMA 1 Year Special?
YES! 1 Year Special 😃

In case you didn't see from my previous blogs, the online electronic music community I co-run with @bufinjer and [DaveyHub](https://twitter.com/daveyhub) called [EMA](https://1emalliance.com) (Electronic Music Alliance) is going to be 1 Year Old on the 3rd January and we're having a big celebration with a compilation release called "**Future Sounds Anthology Vol 1**" and fate would have it that D-Vine asked if we wanted to do an EMA special - of course the answer was "yes"! So what does this all mean?

Well, I'll be co-hosting the show with D-Vine and Onemedia on **Friday 3rd January 2020 at 18:00-20:00 UTC**, talking about EMA, where we've come from and where we are now with some talk around our plans for next year. I'm hoping to onboard a few more EMAliens to the STEEM ship with the free accounts I've claimed and have our own STEEMAliens community... slowly but surely! 

Also on the show, I'll be talking about our celebratory release and bring with me 5 other EMAliens to share their music with us. For most of them, this will be the first time they have been on SOTA and but with the warmth of the PAL server and STEEM community, I know you guys will make them feel right at home! Joining me from our 120+ EMAliens will be:

All of their tracks will be exclusively heard first on SOTA so if you like chillout, dark ambient, breakbeat, drum & bass or your electronic music with a slightly different feel to it then we'd love to see you in the PAL discord:

# Quick EMA Lowdown

If you wanted to find out a little bit more about the Electronic Music Alliance then I recently published our [December monthly newsletter](https://1emalliance.weebly.com/blog/electronic-music-alliance-december-2019-newsletter) which has the latest information about our family but, in brief...

### Stats

- 129 members in our Discord (up by 7 since last month),
- 3,267 followers on the EMA Twitter (up by 189 since last month),
- 1,587 followers on our EAR Twitter (up by 254 since last month)
- 112 releases on the EAR label (up by 6 since last month)
- ​68 curated playlists from members (up by 5 since last month)

### Playlists & Featured Artist

We have [weekly playlists](https://1emalliance.weebly.com/playlists.html) rotating on Spotify, Soundcloud and Youtube (would love it if STEEM can support embed players for Spotify) and a Featured Artist section where we dive a little deeper in to a random artist that released on our [Electronic Alliance Records (EAR)](http://www.electronicalliancerecords.com/) label in the previous month.

So there you have it! Looking forward to SPEAKING with you on Friday!
