The December Mix

Merry Christmas everyone! Well another year that flew by. I think '04 will be the year I decided to make DJing a priority and work hard. Well I had a lot of great responses to the November Mix. I have been feeling like I am really getting there. The December Mix has told me, "not quite yet, punk!" I could have recorded a new mix until it was perfect but that wouldn't be honest. The reason for this blog was to show growth and to be true to where I am at as a DJ.



Don't get me wrong, the second half of the set is really solid and I am very proud of it. The first half, as you will hear, has some bumps in the road. I spun last night at my very good friend's house, Rost. I realized that I need to use monitors with a bigger low end response to give consistency to my mixes. It is much easier picking up the slight changes in tempo when the kick drums are full.



Well enough on my wacky DJ ramblings. I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Be on the look out for better stuff in 2005.

This is a test with the number SMZCACTV4MGA

Thank you

I appreciate all the words of encouragement for my latest mix. The mix recently was added to www.desertfm.com, a website with lots of DJ sets and featured shows. This is exciting to get some great music out. Being a producer primarily first, I fully realize a DJ is only has good as the music he selects and plays. Most of the music I play is purchased from www.edmdigital.com. Check it out if you haven't visited the site. A great resource to purchase dance music.



Thanks again.

My best mix to date!

Well, I think I finally put together a solid mix. I have been working very hard to tighten up my beatmatching. I guess spinning in front of a crowd for two hours, once a week is starting paying off. I concentrated less on programming and matching keys yet the mix came together nicely. Again, I have to thank Dave Epstein for his guidance and support. I continually learn from Dave who has so much knowledge to give. Hopefully this mix will make Dave proud to have me as his student.



Please feel free to post any feedback.

Gilbert Drop-In

Last thursday night I spun at my friend Ben's drop-in. Ben is a youth group leader in Gilbert. It is a weekly place for kids to come skate, hang out with friends, do homework or play games. I got to spin for two hours and time flew by. I was in the zone that night with only a few minor fixes. This event will be every Thursday night. What a great opportunity for me to serve the Lord and get some great experience.



Most of the kids proboably wouldn't notice a great mix from a fair mix but I strive for perfect 2 minute slices of blended, sonic perfection. Hopefully I will get a chance to record a session for everyone to hear. On these nights I try to keep the sound very housey and fun.

A new mix for ya. Booya!

Whatup peeps! Ok, so I am not that cool and I will write normal. I have delivered the October mix, the link may be found to your right. Those who were waiting for the September mix to materialize will now have the opportunity to feast your ears on this new mix.



I am very pleased with the improvement of my mixing and track selection. DJ Jon Boy(http://www.4thdimensiondjs.com) gave me some wise and inspiring advice on programming a set that has flow and excitement with the ability to take the listener from point "A" to point "B." Whether I achieved these qualities is left up to you, my friends. Your comments and criticism will be critiqued and scrutinized.



Here is the track selection for those keeping score at home.



(Artist - Title - Label)



Blue Room Project – Pacific Flat – CP Recordings

Sleeper – Flatliner –- Basic Energy Holland

Tiny Elvis – Tempted (Kingkade Mix) - Minimal

Distance - Movement – Niche

Graham and Porter – Two Days On Lansdowne – Boz Boz

United Tribal Warriors - Deep Jungle - Modo Italy

Pig and Dan – The Message (ITF Mix) – Subliminal

Benz and MD – Shudder - Basic Energy Holland

Earth Deuley presents Neo– Faceless- Hellpass Records



Enjoy!

A proper set-up!

I recently upgraded my set-up in the studio to accommendate some new equipment. I have to thank and credit Dave Epstein (http://www.4thdimensiondjs.com/) with the idea of using Organized Living's custom shelving unit to make a killer DJ set-up. I will be posting a pic soon.



I am starting to look at opportunities to spin in Colorado while I am there for Christmas. Why not take advantage of being in another state to spread the sound of some good music.



Feel free to post any comments about the mix I have posted down below. I guess I should start referring to the Septmeber mix as the "October Mix" since it has taken a while to get my computer fixed. Thank you Rost.

Went to Furio last night

Rost, one of the producers of the Delikate Imposters, and I went out to Furio(www.furio.tv) last night for Progress Thursdays. In past months I have heard some solid music spun by solid djs. Last night wasn't the case at all. The two djs we saw rushed through every transition and seemed determined to play the commerical tracks that were released in 2002. Rost and I decided in wasn't worth hanging out since it looked like Matt from London West Recrods wasn't going to show up and save the night.



So I was home early and decided to spin some records in the studio to clear my head from the horrible music and mixing I heard. After about 5 solid mixes I was cured and went to bed. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to finish the Septemeber mix.



Later
