This is my 2009 "summer" mix. I couldn't wait for it to be this time of year, especially with the fairly harsh winter we had here in New Jersey. The mix itself is an hour long, featuring some new tracks mixed with some awesome classics. Originally, the track list was different but with some newer releases, I just had to go back and re-do it. Enjoy, and be sure to leave comments and feedback!

Electronic Independence

This will be my first night playing out! Soon after I will have a very special 20th episode of "Beginnings"; recorded live next thursday along with a 30 minute guest mix from a friend of mine (not matt, hah!). further information regarding the event can be found here:

facebook event

information regarding the 20th episode of Beginnings will be posted later. hope to see you there, and if not, you'll still be able to enjoy the mix along with some "big" news about my show.

Eventuality MegaMix

this is my first real attempt at an hour long 'megamix' using ableton. before i picked up real mixing equipment, i used to do mixes/compilations and send them out to friends. they were usually just whatever tracks i could get a hold of (mind you, these were before i actually followed edm actively), and thrown together. though the mixing in those were less than pleasing on the ears, they always seemed to carry a great energy - as do professional megamixes such as the ASOT yearmix compilations. so, i decided to return to my original roots with this one, mixing together tracks in software. admittedly, i could have spent more time on this, especially the second half of it. i'm still happy with the final outcome though!

Beginnings/New-ish Mixes

So it's been a while since I've even posted here. I'm still doing my 'Beginnings' mixes for trancechannel.net, and I figured I'd drop an update here. You can find all the past episodes/new episode information here:

Excess presents: Beginnings

I decided to consolidate all the information and past episodes into that thread, so continue to look for them there. Also, I composed a very special episode entitled 'Vocal Progression', which can be found here:

Excess - Beginnings 011 (Vocal Progression)

Don't forget to tune in on Thursdays @ 8EST: www.trancechannel.net

Relaxation Estiva Mix

Download: here

the zip also includes a cue file for those of you who use them. i based this mix around songs that have heavy basslines, though Only When I Sleep & Lost Luggage deviate from the rest - they're great tunes as well.

Matt and I will also be releasing a new vs./collaborated progressive mix. our last collab didn't get much attention as that was around the time gotfrag was nuking our threads. keep an eye out for that

as for 'Beginnings', the show will be on hiatus as the owners of trancechannel.net are away on military business, so i will be spending my time doing some projects i've wanted to do in terms of mixing outside of the show.

enjoy!

New event dates; Beginnings 006!

If you check along the right, I've added 2 more event dates consisting of both Love events featuring John O' Callaghan and later on, Ronski Speed. I'm definitely going to try to make it out for Ronski, as he's been one of my favorite DJ's and producers for some time now.

Awesome News!

I've just been informed by Santos that Ferry Corsten will be playing in BOSTON, that's right, Boston, on feb 26th.

What does this mean? Well if you really wanted to see him but couldn't make it to NY on the 28th, have no fear.

I for one am very excited, I was going to see him in NY, but this saves me three hours of driving.

Ten Min Mix Entry

Well, this month i entered the djtutor.com tenminmix competition. Basically, it's an online competition through youtube. Obviously, with such a small time limit especially for electronic dance music, it's really hard to construct a perfect flowing set. Though it's not as smooth as my longer sets, especially since it was pretty much on the fly, i hope it's still enjoyable:

'Beginnings' Update, and link to episodes 1-5

Alright since Matt got the idea to start a one-stop-does-all blog site for our mixes, i figured i'd might as well drop some knowledge here and my first news post on the update to my weekly mix 'Beginnings'. Firstly, the show has been moved completely. Now, it's home is on http://www.trancechannel.net every Thursday, at 8PM Est.

Also, the mix itself will only be one hour. I'm looking forward to working with TC and hopefully expanding the show even moreso than it is.

As far as mixing outside of 'Beginnings' i've been pretty lazy. My next full mix will be a 'summer' style mix, hopefully to keep my thoughts warm when it's so god damned cold here in new jersey.

For episodes 1-5 of 'Beginnings': http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=205174993&blogID=456797055

As for event updates for myself, i'll DEFINITELY be @ Love in NYC on the 31st to check out Randy Boyer, Breakfast, DJ Eco, and some other great DJ's on the lineup (Mike Saint Jules + Gerard Lavelle in the cave!). And, of course, my tickets for Armin @ Roseland on April 4th are sitting safely next to my bed.

New Progressive Mix + News

I got thrown down the progressive spiral a few days ago. So, I had to test my hand at making a short mix!

Link can be found in the upper right hand side of our site under "Mixes"

I made this for personal use, so yes I know there are flaws, but good music is good music

Here is the track listing.

Armin Van Buuren feat Jaren - Unforgivable (Cerf and Mitiska Remix)
Marcus Schossow - Swedish Beatballs (Original Mix)
Mr Pit - Shana (Duderstadt Progressive Dub Mix)
John Askew ft Senadee - Nothing Left Between Us (Duderstadt Progressive Dub Remix)
Jaytech - Vela (Tritonal Air Up there Remix)
Those Usual Suspects - Shadows (Norman Doray Remix)

No more Gotfrag people! I will be posting everything here, new mixes, news, updates, maybe even the odd rant here or there, so keep refreshing!

I plan on going to Armin @ Roseland in April, it should be a blast. Expect lots of pictures from both myself and Santos. I hope to coerce a few more friends into coming, but nonetheless it will be a fun experience.

Keep on trancin'
