The remnants of Hurricane Ike whipped through the midwestern states on Sunday, killing all the power to my source Icecast Server.  After 48 hours, services are back up.  More importantly, I have cold beer again.

The Ogg Vorbis stream has been removed.  Hopefully this is only a temporary measure, but lately the ogg stream has been breaking... requiring frequent restarts of the icecast service.  The MP3 stream is still working fine.

I called on Nagy to deliver some of his mixes at least two years ago.  And fruition comes, finally.  Here's a tasty sampler from the three mixes he posted from this past week.  "Teen Dis Ease" is a tight mix of 4:4's and breaks, smoothly combined to show that one doesn't have to dominate the other.  Though it's only 13 minutes in length, this shorty mix is proof that Jason has originality and depth to his music selection.  If you like this...

Software Review: Mixxx Open Source DJ Software

Aug 15 15:19

Credit is due to CDMusic for introducing me to the Mixxx Open Source DJ Software last week.   Yes, that's three X's in mixxx and I assume it would have been four X's had mixxx.org been registered already like mixx and mix were.  My first impression to CDMusic's post was WOW; free software, no additional (proprietary) hardware and compatible with vinyl control.  That's pretty much all I ever wanted.

The latest mix show turned out quite well.  I have been listening to small parts since the recording and I am, at the risk of sounding blah, very impressed.  Not so much by the mixes, but the mix possibilities of old and new spanning close to 10 years is quite encouraging for the techno circle.  Villalobos has really stuck to his beat style since his start and still manages to create a new space with each song.  The plain white triple played twice on this mix is so similar to his early perlon and still new to the ears.&nbs
