The new show is available through the player at the top of the page, just go to the On Demand feature and search for the 06.17.09 show.  :D

I was hoping start podcasting with this show, but the quality of the recording is sub-par.  I had tested the setup before the show, but the volume of the actual recording was way too loud and distorts the audio.  Oh well…. maybe I’ll record something for the weekend  :D

Back from Miami and good to go  :D

An very energetic set inspired by the music I was hearing at Ultra, it’s only problem was Ustream breaking the recording into 2 parts. Thankfully the break happened at about 20 minutes in, so part 2 is lengthy and uninterupted.  I’ll probably be making it into an mp3 for DL.

So, I’m not typically for celebrating weird little events and stuff (note that it’s the end of February and I just realized what I’m about to say), but I thought I’d just say I completed last year’s goal

I started out January ’08 with a mission to mix at least one CD a month.  That started out as my If at First series.  Those CDs are purposely themed.  A CD should have definite flow and purpose.  I got 6 of them done.  I was working on the 7th when I had the idea of broadcasting live.  I was first thinking of just an audio broadcast, but being a geek, I craved something more.  So that’s when the search for a video application began, ending with Ustream (who has, apparrently upgraded their servers/network ) which provides chat, too.  PERFECT!

So in July, I started Memory Lapse.  Twice a month I’d spin live for 2 hours.  Definitely more content than a 70 minute CD once a month.  Once in a while, I would do bonus shows, live-remote house parties, or just turn the camera on and practice with a few friends listening and chatting.  The show quickly went from twice a month to weekly!  Some shows have been good, some have been amazing.  There’s a lot to get used to when you have to play for 2 hours every week.  If I was getting paid for it, I’d buy more music a lot more easily, but as it is, I have to be careful with my music selection.  That, hopefully, is in the process of changing

So regardless, I have way more than the 12, 70 minute recordings that I was initially going for.  And I’d like to thank a few people:

• monk doc, the moj, and the civ for just being you and letting me be me
• the901 for harassing me until I started DJing again
• eldanen for all the support and, i’m pretty sure, not missing a show yet
• werd for letting me drag my equipment to his place and do parties there
• hiroshi for the name Memory Lapse
• teki for being my arch-nemesis… but still cool!
• and everyone else that comes by, shows support, downloads, clicks on ads, whatever

Make sure to keep supporting and tell your friends about the show, and if you’re on Facebook, join the Memory Lapse group (http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=64623366613)

So YEY!!!

So a friend of mine wanted to introduce me to a DJ at a lounge in NYC, Babel, and was like… “Do you have a demo you can give him?”

“Sure”, says I.

“Not trance and stuff, though… hip hop, raggae, raggaeton…. that sort of stuff.”

“Yeah… no problem.”  Blatent lie.  If you know me as a DJ, I’m all about electronica in it’s various forms.  I may stick to certain styles, but it’s all about electronica.

So here I am, not knowing much about this style besides they’re great to dance to with a girl that can dance.  So I start looking for tracks, building from artists that I know… playlist it, mix it, check it…. got it on the first take.  Thus the name, Take One.  I have a lot to learn about DJing this kind of music, but I’m happy with this demo.  Hopefully the DJ at Babel is too.  :D
