In South Africa house music is the most popular music in the country. I made this mix for my friend Zima because she wanted to hear more of "your American house". So here's a mix of Chicago, Detroit etc. classics.. pensive, quirky, upbeat -- house party :D
Just a quick mix tonight as I was stranded at home. Quick, because I was interrupted by a 'work' call. It's too bad I was interrupted because the mix was going quite well. Dark at times, but not scary despite the title. The tracks are from my most recent record purchase. One track (guess which one) is not like the others. I stuck a digital track in there using my new xwax setup. I'm really liking xwax. It's quite responsive and error free so far. Enjoy the mix.
Translated, this mix is the "Pants". Starting with a bit of noise and straight beats (from the 90's), transitioning to dubtech and then moving right along to some 'feel good' grooves, we'll barely make it above 120 BPM. And if the "Pants" doesn't get you, well how about "More Cowbell"? I've compiled the tracklisting here from a majority of 2009 releases, but still managed to sneak in a few of my old favorites. If taking my sweet time picking all these tracks wasn't enough, I also employed some new apps in order to get the mix cut-up and mastered for the site. Click the read link for the tracklisting.
I caught this recording via the Ghostly International twitter feed this morning, who in turn was boasting (via retweet) the presence of Spectral/Ghostly and other artists featured on the mix. On first listen, I was far too impressed to let this recording live on anonymously via the zShare networks (linked here for posterity). So I hit up DJ Gina Turner and she graciously allowed us to host her mix here. So click the list
This mix originally aired on Vinyl Project Radio as Live Show 4 and is one of my favorite mixes I have done (evar). In response, I'll take the time to blow my own horn and kick-off Episode 1 with this homegrown mix. Carnival Augusta was totally improvised. Mixed in the basement, with only the pooch, the stimpinator and my endearing wife to put up with the throws of emitting bass. Most of the tracks are 21st century, minimal techno and tech-house. Enjoy.
