Way behind on my updates, some site-changing plans and busy as hell. That’s why it’s been a while. So without checking if I missed some or the numbering is correct I present to you: Last Friday’s Set! One disclaimer: I’ve been remapping my keyboard controls and found out they suck, because I pressed play/pause by accident two times.

By the way, did you know that in every set I post online the full track listing is in the lyrics field? Well, it is! Not in the comments because that usually doesn’t fit and in the lyrics field because that way I can see it on my iPhone.

I’ve been busy lately with defective hard disks (yes, plural) in my new MacBook Pro, missed a few sets because I had no hardware to DJ on and didn’t recorded a few because I had no second computer to record it on. The plus side to all this is that the set I did yesterday has a lot (about 80%) of new drum and bass released in the past couple of weeks! Set number nineteen and twenty are also available online, check my DJ page if you want to download those as well.

I finally made my first demo! I’ve wikipediaed the living shit out of Drum and Bass subgenres and I believe it is mainly Jump-up in this demo.  I could of course still be wrong ’cause music genre classification not an exact science, but it’s a fine name nonetheless.

I’ve spend most of the time in compiling the tracklisting. There are some minor mixing flaws (if you look for them), but I decided not to do several re-runs in order to get everything just right because it’s boring work and not meant as a studio album mix. Better to show I have good mixing skills than fake perfect mixing skills.

In order to get more gigs I decided I needed to focus on one particular music style, because being an all-round DnB DJ is cool but useless because I won’t be playing entire evenings. There are more than enough good DJs out there so booking a handful for an evening is commonplace. But because it was hard to pick one style to focus on I picked two. This is the first, and the second is more pop-music oriented: think dominant melodies, think vocals, think Hospital Records. This next demo is my current DJ project and will probably take a few weeks like the first did, because I need time to compile a good tracklisting and because I have a lot of other things to do in life.

Anyhow, enjoy an hour and a half of tightly packed bass-pumping beats!

Enjoy.

You know those moments when you’re in the flow, mixing track after track and everything just works out perfectly? I didn’t have that when I recorded this set. But it’s still okay, and three hours long, and much more pop-ish tracks (dunno how to describe it, the tracks with much melody and vocals) than the previous sets.

A massive three hour set recorded last friday afternoon. 1st Hour starts nice and slow, 2nd hour has more pop-ish tracks (more melody and vocals) and the 3rd hour concludes it all with some massive pumping breakbeats. Enjoy!

A quick one hour set containing mostly releases from the past few months.

Woops, I recorded this set almost a month ago.

Twelve hours after I played live it was already radio time, which resulted in a set without the usual popular dancefloor tracks and fast-paced mixing. Really enjoyable, this one!

First time I actually remembered to record a live set (as in, at a party, not live on the radio). Useful, because I can evaluate my live-performance and I have something to post here! It’s one hour played at a USCKI/FUF/Drift66 party last Tuesday. No big deal, much fun.
