What still needs to be done

Energy 92.7 has been able to fill the void that Party 92.7 left easily. It surpassed expectations and has been doing what is necessary to make a lasting impression on the bay area. Their library of music is quite extensive when compared to Party 92.7. New songs have been added on a weekly basis, and they are slowly catching up to what is popular all over the country.

But there are numerous songs they still haven't added. We won't hold our breath waiting for them to add all the songs on the list below. But some of them need to be heard here as they are quite good and could become hits nationally. Some tracks have already become out-of-the-box successes in their native countries. A lot of what is hot in the clubs is being played on the air, but there is a lot that needs to be added. That is what needs to be done in order to stay on the air. In addition to proper marketing, and a strong signal, they have to be playing the music people want to here. Even though many calls have been made to the phone number Energy 92.7 provided on the air, not much has changed.

Specialty programming has already been added, and more is planned in the future. Party 92.7 had exclusive mixes every weekend from internationally-renowned DJ Paul Oakenfold. And there were exclusive mixes by DJ Torque a.k.a. Trevor Simpson, who now is the resident DJ at Energy 92.7. A new mixshow airing every Friday at 6pm (Pacific Standard Time) called the "Energy 92.7 Weekend Kick-Off Mix" has been airing. So far, 2 editions of the one-hour mix have aired. A good blend of current hits, some new future hits, and some recurrents make up the mix. On last Friday's edition on Christmas Eve, dance mixes of Christmas songs were played in the mix. Check out this other blog that keeps track of the playlists of the mixes. The Christmas Eve playlist is the one in red and green colors. Let's see if they will add more mixes done by other DJs. Nothing's wrong with Trevor Simpson. But having multiple DJs would provide some variety as no two DJs mix the same way. And some specialize in different genres of music.

And the official website still needs to be created. There is already a website configured at the web address of www.energy927fm.com, but there is just an animated image there for now. An unofficial website had been online for about a month, but it has since disappeared. There's no known reason for why the unofficial website went away. It doesn't really matter as that website didn't have a disclaimer, and there was questionable security. On the message boards, a poster's IP address was made public. Not just some of it. All of it! That was removed promptly. And the playlist on the site was copied verbatim from another source. No credit given at all. Anyways, this site isn't worth mentioning anymore as it is unavailable now.

Let's hope they'll add the songs listed below in a timely manner.
