Mixes

When it gets down to it; its really all about the mix... How a track plays verses other tracks is really whats sets apart good club tracks from great club tracks. When I produce I try to think about how it will flow into something else, the ease of that transition.

Here are most of the mixes I could find. I have more that I recorded in my house days but they are on actual tapes (I have to record them at some point cause a lot of them are really good). I worked hard on most of these mixes, editing each track to fit with the next. The only mix that wasn't made this way was the 2 hour vinyl mix that I am very proud of. As a bonus I added a Mini Mix I made for The Vortex on c89.5FM.

LA was dope!

Just got back from a two day trip to Los Angeles. I played "Monster Mash" with my homies NoNewYork from San Francisco, and Cease & De Clash from LA. The show was intense with a good turn out by 9:30 and by 11:30 it was a packed warehouse with nearly 700 kids. The lights were intense and the sound system had weight. LA knows what they're doing.

This is a edit I made a while back. its beeperless....

Just Say NoNewYork

NoNewYork are homies from SF. Sub Philo Music will be releasing their Dancehall Blues EP soon with remixes by Dev79, Bombaman and myself. The three tracks they made for this ep are back and forth bassline and dubstep; headnodding and bouncy at the same time. The ep is being mixed and mastered as I write this by my friend Slade Templeton from Defunct.

:::bonus:::
This next remix was collab with Commodore 69 (formally known as Nitsuj). Who I was a huge fan of when I was growing up. He co-founded the legandary 360 BPM Crew with Zacharia and was a huge influence on the birth of drum and bass in Seattle in the late 90s. I used to record his mixes off the radio (89.9 KGRG) and listen to them on repeat.

Why Are We Waiting???

I started djing in 1997. Early on I was influenced by Derrick Carter, Jeno, Doc Martin, and DJ Sneak. I loved it all from Chicago to Minimal techno. A lot of my early tracks as I got back into house music after a 5 year hiatus into hip hop production had a feel of that early hard and Chicago house style. I was listening to a lot of the early Count and Sinden tracks and got heavily obessed with dance style production again. At one point I started experimenting with making rock style house music.

This remix of Canadian indie rock band These Electric Lives was made/released on itunes in 2007/2008.

I like refixes, my wrist does not...

I've been doing these refixes for a while now. Kinda just for fun; a thing to do when I don't have enough energy to make beats but still want to work on music. When I made the first refix mix I clicked the mouse so much I inflamed my wrist for several months, my wrist would burn when it would be at that horizontal hanging angle to control a mouse. For a couple weeks my girlfriend even helped me navigate through refixing tracks.

At the height of the pain I had the idea to refix house into dubstep(again for fun). These were the first two out of three I made(the other being a dubstep refix of Federico Franchi - Cream; which is on its way).

Work, Rusko, & Kid Cudi

Last night I was tired from working a super involved wedding and couldn't work on any music. So I trawled youtube looking for new tracks and radio rips. I found one video entitled DZ Down lvis Dubblestep Remix. After listening to it for 30 seconds I realized it was my refix and that Rusko was playing it & filling in for Mary Ann Hobbs on BBC Radio 1... respect to DZ, Rusko, Mary Ann Hobbs and BBC Radio 1!
