Shadowstarr

This is an old mix that I happened to find a little while ago when I was cleaning the studio.  The recording is of Thumptek and myself doing a Live PA in February 2004.  Everything was done in one take, on hardware synths with no computers.

Some of the drum machines and synths that were used are the TR909, TR727, DX200, FR777, JX3P, and the Technosaurus.

Live Studio Mix from Feb 2004

Over a year after the show, I was finally able to get a copy of the recording.  The file size is very big, but its the entire night from begining to end.

Banging Techno at its finest!  I start things off a bit chill with “Gamma” but the pace quickly increases after that.  Wehbba’s ‘Cava’ is a nice noisey groover on 82 Recordings.  From the release notes this is a brand new label from Wehbba himself;  looking to release the newest cutting edge sound in new techno.

Speaking of newer sounding techno is Sami Wentz’s ‘Enerverende’ remixed by Jon Virtue.  This track has got that smooth deep bass that will really hit ya on a loud system.  The main synth line is well *drool*.

Perc makes two appearance on the promo mix this month.  With ‘Alperton Badass’ on Sleaze Records and ‘Submit’ on CLR.  One other mention goes to Bobby Dowell for his track ‘Motive’ on Perc Trax, that whole release is definately worth checking out.

For this month of April, I bring you a truly unique mix than your used to hearing.  This is my first minimal/tech house mix that I have ever done.  I wanted to take the listener on a journey and play tracks that you could easily fall into.  Such tracks as Darko Esser’s – Cold Feet and Donato Dozzy & Giorgio Gigli’s – Real Love EQ are just those kind of tracks.  Download and enjoy!

This mix has a different feel than my other mixes.  I start off with some more popular tunes that kinda have a electro house feel to them.  About half way through the mix things start to get a bit darker and the mix finishes up that way.

These are older dj mixes i’ve done over the years between 06-08.  The idea behind this series was to come up with a title that stood out from other mixes;  It also had much to do with my behavior at parties.

Party Animal Vol. 2 – Hard Froggin Techno

Party Animal Vol. 3 – I Duckin Love Techno

Party Animal Vol. 4 – Dog Damn Techno
