Sorry for the wait....in the works for July

Hello Everyone. I apologize that a June mix has not materialized. My daytime job is keeping me very busy with travel and business. I will have a new mix ready for July 1. Thank you for all the feedback.

Thank you for the feedback!

Hello! I want to thank everyone for the downloads and the feedback. Since I have posted the May mix back on May 6th, I have received 359 dowloads/subscription feeds. I think podcasting is working out great in regards to sending out the monthly sets.

I would also like to personally thank F Naqvi of Quadrata for the email. These guys produced "Commute" from the April Mix. "Commute" has a great dark vibe to transition my mix into some harder tunes. I look forward to more releases from these guys. Please check out www.glo-techafrica.com to learn more about the label and artists.

Well I have started looking at some new tracks and ideas for the June's and July's mix. Also, I am kicking around the idea of August's Mix being a full two hours! More info to come including pics from my weekly DJ slot at Suede.

Thanks again!

Geoffrey

The May Mix!

Aloha, and welcome to another monthly installment of Mint DJ's monthly mix. The May mix definitely includes some sounds that are new to my typical style. I had fun programming this set yet realized some mixing styles used for progressive house does not translate to the deeper stuff. Yes, this is a learning process. The first two mixes are fair but the rest are really solid. This mix should be fun for listening or dancing around the house.

My new weekly position as the opening DJ at Suede (Progression Thursdays) has been giving me some great experience. Last night was fun. I will post some pics soon.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for the feedback you have provided. I really love reading your words of encouragement. I have included my email to the right navigation bar if you prefer to communicate via email instead of posting.

Have a great May...and into the summer.

Hard work pays off!!!

I am now the opening DJ at Progression Thursdays at Suede in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since my passion within progressive house music falls on the early night/groovy stuff, it was a perfect fit. I had been frustrated many of times when the opening DJ is banging it out and not properly warming up the people. I now have the opportunity to fix that problem.

I am very thankful that Matty and Eric trust me to get things started right. This opportunity will give me weekly experience of playing on a good sized sound system, learn how to read a crowd and hone my skills. Mixing in a bedroom and mixing in a club is night and day.

I also want to say thank you for the comments/feedback, online and offline, I have received about the April mix. Work has begun on the May mix.

Mint DJ's April Progressive House Mix

The wait is over for your fix of Mint DJ's new progressive house mix. I humbly apologize for the delay. Two factors....I have purchased two new CD decks and I have been working on a new original track.

I recently purchased two new Pioneer CDJ-200S. You can check out the new decks here. These CD decks are really cool. The jog wheel has a very smooth feel and has a very accurate response, much like vinyl.

The new tune is almost done. Rost from Delikate Imposters has been giving me some feedback that has led to some adjustments. I will post the tune when it is finished.

The April mix....I am very excited about this mix. It really came together nicely, especially with me getting familiar to some new gear. Again, all the tracks on this mix was purchased from EDM Digital. This set has a smooth ride with some good twists and turns. Please any feedback would be welcomed. The track listing is below.

-Geoffrey

Stephan Anton - Forward Motion
Cassino & Laben - Leaving Behind
Izak - Auriga (PostSoBe Remix)
Alexander Church - Cycles of Life
Quadrata - Commute
Hawaii - Nevermind
Watchmen - Alchemist
Smight - Prince of Sacrifice
Damien Hecks - Deep Reveal

The March Mix is Here!

Happy March to ya! Yes I took some time off the monthly mixes to work on an original tune. It came out really good and hopefully will be available to purchase on EDM Digital soon.

The March mix came out really solid. The first mix is a bit off but the rest is really strong. (Lesson to self, warm up a bit before recording monthly set.)

All feedback is welcomed.
