It has been over five years now since I was living and breathing electronic dance music. When I wasn't listening to music, I was at record stores listening to new releases and buying stuff... when I wasn't in the store I was online doing it... when I wasn't listening I was practicing beat-matching on my turn tables... I was selecting songs... drawing up set lists... and spending lots of fun time with my other techno junky buddies throwing parties and putting together DJ events.
It was awesome.
For Father's Day, I put my turn tables up in the basement... and I have been going through a small selection of my hundreds of records listening to them again. The songs are a snap shot from that moment in time... and so every song comes with a memory of why I bought it, when I first played it, and who was there to hear it.
This evening I put together a small 42 minute set of some music selected from my house records.
- Wax Poetic - Angels (Morgan Page Remix)
- Sidechained - Cityscape (Dub mix)
- Synthetic Funk - Ice Dragon
- Trisco - Ultra (Stompa Phunk Remix)
- Morel - Dreaming of LA
- 21st Century Fux - Thinking of You
- John Silver - Come on Over (Flatline mix)
I had a bit of a problem mixing into track #5... you will hear me rest after the train wreck starts... ah well... a little rusty after all these years :) But I come back with a solid mix into Thinking of You that worked great. Good times.
