Not worth publishing

For those who have asked, the trial mixes in preparation for the Latvian gig aren’t really worth publishing, but I will probably use the core of that set minus a lot of the records that have found their way in to my other sets, plus some new acquisitions as the foundation of a new set, which I will try to get done before too long.

Chilled Out Passion 29-7-06 archive

Apologies for the funky dynamics imposed by the fancy radio station mixer, but an archive it is. My part’s not mixed. It’s sort of a review of the non-house/non-techno stuff I used to play on my radio show by virtue of the fact that I only brought CDs (lots of ambience, trance-before-it-was-a-bad-word and industrial things, with a couple of hip hop bits for good measure). As you can see below, Dan kicks things off with a load of older drum n’ bass, and my set starts in the 51st minute. It felt like a bit of trip down memory lane for me to be live on the terrestrial radio again, playing the same material I used to. It was fun!

Back from the Baltics

Had a wicked time. One gig got busted, played an unexpected gig in Vilnius and an awesome one at Banzai in Daugavpils on their sick 20K rig, for three hours. It was defintely one of the best DJing experiences of my life. But the whole trip was great. The Lithuanian country side, hanging with my cousin, checking out some really interesting places, meeting great new people – all awesome, with only the minimum of bumps on the road (other than the busted gig). Full report and loads of pics to come. For now, here’s a couple of video clips from Hannah’s phone that y’all can hopefully check, from Saturday’s gig. The sound is distorted to hell, but it might give a feel for the venue and crowd.

Clips zipped

For some reason downloading these 3gp files doesn’t seem to want to work when they have that file extension, so I’ve zipped them. Hope y’all can download zips and play 3gp. If anyone has alternate suggestions, I’d be glad to know them as well. Cheers!
