The August Mix....my best mix ever!!!!

IT IS HERE! I finally deliver on a mix with supreme mixing skills and exciting programming. I am really looking forward to your comments about this mix. This also the first time I dropped some progressive breaks into a monthly set.

The podcast is longer (2 hours) than months past due to the new feature...a guest mix. Dave Epstein is up for the first guest mix. Dave is the DJ would taught me how not just to spin records but techniques and skills that create smooth, intelligent mixing. Please feel free to post your comments about Dave’s mix here or send him an email at detroitdave@cox.net.

If you do not receive my set via podcast you can either (A) get with the program and buy an ipod or (B) download the individual sets posted to the right under "mixes." Each individual set will fit on a one cd yet the individual sets do not have my babbling introductions. For some this might be a good thing.

Great feedback...look out for the August mix

First off….thank you for all the great feedback. I really do appreciate it. After reading an email from my new friend in Greece, Stratos, I got super motivated and recorded a set that night. That set will be the mix for August. I believe the new August mix is best set I have ever recorded. The mixing is super tight and the programming is a lot of fun.

I will also have a new feature for August....a guest mix. Dave Epstein who is the responsible person for teaching me how to DJ will provide a guest mix for August. It will be attached as one big mix.

Thanks again, and count the days to August.

The July Mix

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay. Over the 4th of July weekend, my best friend Jeff and I were working out the web server stuff. The July mix is fair compared to past mixes. Don't get me wronmg, the music is top notch of course yet the mixing is a bit sloppy. My day job and traveling has paid a toll on my practicing and it shows. There are a few tight mixes for your enjoyment. I also realized I have fallen back into some old habits that have hindered my mixes from being exciting. Next month's mix will be much better.

Thank you for the great feedback every month.

Here is the track listing:

Gazor - Stabilized ( Blue Haze Natural Groove Mix )
Jordan Daniel - Porcelain
Smight - Pres. Asif Ahmed - Peanut Butta
Blue Room Project - Out Of Area ( Habersham & Numinous Remix )
Charles Jetzer - Organix
Chris Scott - Dance Device
Logiztik Sounds - Try Me
Santiago Nino - Ibiza Dreams
Chris Fortier - Losing Wait ( Deep Dub )
Rich D - Breaking Voices ( Fragile Mix )

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.

-Geoffrey

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.
