Happy April, everyone!
Yeah, yeah… I know it’s the end of the month, almost. I’ll see if I can’t get the May mix to come out a little earlier. I actually recorded this mix last week, I didn’t like how it came out. You see, by some good fortune, I was able to buy some new (used) equipment!!! Two Pioneer CDJ1000 mk2s and a DJM 600. I went a little overboard on the use of sound effects the first time I recorded, otherwise the mixing was fine. This equipment is so much more accurate than what I was using previously. Also, I was able to add a song when I re-did the set.

For those that don’t know… I went to Ultra at the end of March. It was so sick! Went with a really cool bunch of people, and met a bunch more down there! This was year 2 for me, and I plan on making 2009 year 3!
I put a few vids on YouTube (http://youtube.com/vud0013), but their uploader was being stupid, and I stopped after about 6… maybe at some point I’ll finish putting them on there; of course, I also said that about last year’s videos.

It’s a little shorter than they’ve been so far, but it’s a very fun, upbeat set that I think you’ll all enjoy. Like I said, I have new equipment that really opens up the possibilities of what I can do with the music. Right at the beginning I tried something that I previously just could not do with my older set up (see if you can tell what it is!!), and I’ll need to practice it a lot more, but I’d say for my first time, it sounds pretty good. I avoided using the sound effects this time around because I still need to learn how they effect the music and how to control them, although towards the end I did try one subtle effect that I thought added A LOT to the chorus of the track.
With that said, here you go:
