Darker and dirtier on this one, a different direction than the disco’fied mixes of late. Wicked beats, complete with P-Diddy himself muttering obscenities and sentence fragments. A little electro mixed in toward the end, and rounded out with a more uplifting vibe from everyone’s favorite french house wunderkind, Louis La Roche.

Some house jams with epic tales to tell this time. Longer than usual, their stories will unfold slowly. I thumb my nose at you, three-minute pop track.
Still on a bit more on the mellow tip, but don’t worry, G-Unit — the pendulum will swing back to bangers in no time once I’m sitting around on xmas break spitting out mixtapes all day!

Fooling around in Ableton more, been wanting to do a mix of extended house jams, the likes of which I have been digging on courtesy of His Pea-Ness. Piano loop motif runs through it, and each track can unfold and tell its story. So this seven track ‘minimix’ is about as long as the 15-track mixes typically run…

It was very interesting to experiment with such a different approach to reach the same result. No decks, no tracks. Just clips that I can chop, loop and arrange as I want. Fun workflow to add to the live-on-the-decks experience, looking forward to learning more ways to enhance the arsenal with such a versatile program.
