First and foremost… THANK YOU to everyone that listened in last night!!!  I had such a blast doing it, and I hope you enjoyed it as well 😀

Below you will be able to see the show from last night.  I think what I’ll do is post the video until I build a flash player to stream just the audio.  Once that’s done, you’ll only be able to see the video while I play live and then I’ll just post the music that you’ll be able to stream from the site.

Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I know… I know… I’m posting this and it’s June; but I did finish recording this last night before midnight!! So woot!!

So this months mix comes from a sound check I was doing for my upcoming Memory Lapse show. I played an old trance song, just goofing around, and a few of my friends flipped out, so I decided to do an old school set. Now you maybe thinking when you hear some of these tracks that it’s not old school, but think about when these songs came out. Some of them are about 10 years old!!

I know… It bugged me out too when i thought about it 😀

Anyway, enjoy!!!

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:

Welcome (back), everyone!
I just want to say thank you to everyone that’s been listening. People that get to do what they love usually say something like, “This is my passion. I would do this even if I wasn’t getting paid.” Well, I’m not getting paid to do this, but the sentiment is there. I love doing this, and do it first-and-foremost for myself. But the encouragement and support I’ve been getting over the last few months have made it SSOOOOOOOO much easier to make these mixes happen! So for that, I want to thank everyone for their kind words and open ears.

A quick note: A few people have been asking me where If at First v.1 is, and the short answer is that it’s somewhere, but it’s not really part of the monthly series. The first If at First was a mix I did about two years ago, and even though the track selection was great (I thought), the mixing was not nearly as good as I would have liked it to be.  Now that I started to mix again, I wanted to keep the name, so I have turned it into a monthly series.
So for organization’s sake, and to get the number to line up with the months, since this is a monthly mix, March is v.3b and April will be v.4 the previous 2 mixes have been renumbered so March is now v.3.

This month was A LOT of fun for me to do. I tried a few new things, and feel like I pushed myself a lot… especially in the first half of this set. I learned a lot from this set, and I know that by practicing with music like this my technique is going to get better. This mix sounds very different from what I’ve been doing so far, but I really wanted to do this. Since it’s the March mix, it is part of the If at First series, but it’s subtitled “Intermission” for a reason. So here it is.
I hope you guys enjoy it.

This mix was previously v.3b.  It has been renamed for organizational purposes.
