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!

Keeping my music collection up to date is a lot of work, but since that part is fun to do it is only limited by the amount of money I want to spend on it. Keeping my VirtualDJ Database up to date, clean and properly tagged is a whole different story. I use the comments field for tags and filter folders filtering on those tags to categorize my music in different ways so I can always quickly find the kind of tracks I’m looking for. Adding newly purchased music is one thing (it’s required to actualy play it), tagging everything and worse: re-tagging a lot when I change my categorization is a whole different story.
Today’s set is messy and feels kind of random, because I decided to play about the same time I started the set, and I hadn’t even added much of my newly purchased music yet. It’s still worth listening tough, especially because there is so much new (not new per se, but new to me) music in it.

I don’t feel like typing a long story about how I did yet another set and how well it went. Just listen to it if you want.

Busy busy week, so no time to prepare a set. Fortunately improvising it on the fly works too, I even booked an extra third hour during the set because I had so much fun and it was still available. Apologies for the terrible mix-in of Netsky at the end, two friends were in my room talking to me and stealing all my concentration.

What a Friday! First time I did a three hour radio set and it went pretty well, if I do say so myself. My internet connection went down during the set, fortunately I it was at the very end so the next DJ could simply take over. No harm done, tough quite annoying. During the set another DJ suggested doing a regular dnb show (there are a few fixed slots reserved for residential DJs doing a weekly show) with me, an idea I quite like. So in the near future I may become a residential DJ, whatever that means.
The electro party (in a really, really broad sense of the word) organized by Karpe Noctem where I played with six others was quiet but fun nonetheless. It was nice to play for a live crowd again (still looking for gigs, contact me!).
