The post of the beast

This is my 666th blog entry. Shit!

Anyway… I recorded this mix on Sunday. It’s got a bit more drift than I’d like and a couple of mixes I want back, but it should do the trick. This is a collection of some of the stuff I’ve played from my last three gigs, since only one of those sets was recorded, and that one really didn’t come out like I wanted it to. It’s a pretty wide range of stuff with a focus on acid, dub, older house and some newer techno. Something like that I guess. It ends with a song I’ve finally tracked down after 15 years of searching, which was an essential part of the soundtrack to 1991 for me. This clocks in at just under 2 1/2 hours. Encoded at 192 Kbps CBR. Get it here.

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!

Latvian gig

Didn’t really know what a big deal this event was gonna be, but it seems to be getting quite a reaction on the Baltic and Russian message boards. Apparently this is the fifth and final party at this venue, and it’s supposed to be this crazy old factory (presumably Soviet).
