End of the year, time to look back at the many great tracks released this year. But since music isn’t particulary interesting to look at I’ve made a mix, to listen to. Some remarks:

  • I did not prepare a tracklist but improvised a set as usual. I did, obviously, only use tracks from 2011 and tried not to use the same artist or release to much
  • I’ve specialised in popular DnB and Jump-up but the two hours were gone before I got to those genres.
  • I tried some changes to my mixing style to make it cleaner and tighter, and am quite content with the result.
  • I found out I’ve acquired a lot of music in 2011, so part 2 contains only pop tracks

In case you didn’t know: I play every Friday from 15:00 to 17:00 (GMT+1) on VirtualDJ Radio channel 3. A great way to listen to some of the latest Drum and Bass releases (I always play my latest purchases and I buy new stuff at least once a week) and get some energy needed for the last hours of work before the weekend kicks in.

Since uploading every radio set is becoming less fun and more tedious every time I think I’m just gonna stop doing it. Also it’s not needed anymore because the folks at VirtualDJ Radio have build an awesome automatic system to listen back to every single set played on all three channels. So, if you’ve missed my  show or just want to listen to it again all you have to do is:

The last two weeks were dedicated to a three hour mix of tracks released this year! I know, it’s a lot, I was surprised myself. And since two hours a week time two weeks minus a three hour set equals one hour left there must be more, right? Right! The final hour was hard to mix because of all the broken rhythms, but also very cool because of the same broken rhythms. I like tracks with complicated drums and basslines.

Do not expect more posts here the coming weeks, because I’m working hard on a totally new website with a cool backend to make life easier for me and a equally cool fontend because cool people need cool websites. And I need a playground for web-related stuff.

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.

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!
