Took a break from Studying

Hope you enjoy, don't expect any Top 40 in this mix though. Only straight up House.

Friday, November 5, 2010

So haven't posted in a long long time, and unfortunately no mix for you yet. But this is the first post of November and possibly the most important thing to happen this month was the release of Native Instruments S4 which is in one word amazing...looking. I have only read reviews (and watched ALL the youtube videos). The plan is to get one of these units ASAP as it not only has amazing hardware but also comes with the new S4 programme.

So music wise this winter for me has all been about dubstep and uk rap (and of course electro)
Right now my favorite tunes would have to be
The Recluse (Nero Remix)
High Rankin-Don't Carry on Like a Rudeboy when Daddy's got a Yacht
Devlin- Runaway
Skrillex-My Name is Skrillex
Killer (jean Elan Mix)

To finish off the post I'm going to leave you with Ean Golden a Footpedal and an S4

Just A recap of Last weeks gig

These are the big songs of last weeks gig entitled 'One Huge Fuck Off Rave'

The gig itself was good and I learnt a lot from it.

Sorry I haven't been posting recently but work and school have been my prioritys for a little while. I have most of next week off so expect more music. :D

Recap Of 'One Huge Fuck Off Rave' by Sappho50

Oh and its not exactly club standard just threw it together.


I will also load up a Sneek Peek of the upcoming Dubstep Collab I'm doing on DjForums.

You can quote me :D

This thought just occurred to me. Music related, so I'll post. . .

Adrift in a sea of unknowing just off the coast of lost, I find myself unable to escape such a land of despair. But in this madness and in this unsettling chaos, I have hope to reach the other side of these stormy waters, to a land called found. With love as my guide and trance as my vessel, I shall sail intrepidly into the darkness without looking back.

Chapter 3

Ever since I started mixing I have been improving my skills slowly buy surely. During this period of improvement I will come across new ways to improve my mixes and I see these improvements as a separate periods of time in my DJing career. So here is Chapter 3 in my mixing career:

So, I'm not saying that the music we play is better than yours. I guess what I actually mean to say, is just that. . . well, your music sucks. I'm going to recommend this mix right here to cure your diagnoses of listen-to-shit-music-afixia syndrome.

Live Mix comin' up!

Tonight @ 10pm EST I will be playing another set. Perhaps redoing the reSET i just played, as it turned out to be one of my best sets ever. :)

it will be streaming live from the sites listed HERE.

see you then :)

ACO and Myself on the Radio

AntiCitizenOne and myself went into the station a few days ago after each of us doing an hour set here at the house. We broadcast all four hours on justin.tv and part of it on blogger tv. We ran into a series of "technocal" difficulties, so hopefully in the future it will run more smoothly. Until then, this is a radio recording, I apologize for the sub-par quality, it was all in a rush and the default settings on this audio capture were clearing not adequate. Someday this recording might be a gem?

Radio Mixology is a SUCCESS!

About 30 people came by tonight to hear Bmo and Myself play live. It was a ton of fun and for the people who missed it, I hope you burn in hell. Just kidding, seriously all you missed was good fun and good tracks. On the upside, even though you missed it modern technology is an amazing, amazing thing and more or less saved some of the experience for you. So, I now present links to the past with tracks of the future :)

New Soundcloud. . .again

Hey hey,

So, lately my inbox has been flooded with requests for more mixes. The previous statement is a total lie. Actually, nobody has requested more mixes, and in reality I don't think I've ever gotten an email from a fan through this site. Hahaha, anyway seriously though, I did make another soundcloud account, so now I'm up to three. necessary, maybe not but that gives me six hours of upload time, and to be honest, I'm trying to put up like 4 hours a week or so, I do in fact need more space.

Anywho, eventually I'll be a pretty big deal around here and people will care, so I'm just taking preemptive measures to ensure that I can in fact meet the demands of all my "raving" fanatics (see what I did there?)

Soundcloud accounts:

1) Empē - Productions, W.I.P.s, and clean mixes
2) Empē2 - Solid Mixes
3) Empē - Bad Mixes / Spontaneous Crap

. . .or at least I'll try to keep some categorical order ha!

Mix from my last house party!

Played at a house party the other night. It was pretty flop, but nonetheless I still got to spin my stuff, nobody complained about my music, or made weird requests, which was refreshing. Anyway here's 45 min snippet of how it sounded.

Been Busy, Now Back

The last few weeks of my life have been kind of hectic. I had exams and then moved into a house with some people. Until two nights ago I had not had a night of more than six hours of sleep in two weeks. Anywho, now in the downtime, I have had the chance to finally had a chance to get back to what I love most, the Starcraft II beta. No, haha just kidding (seriously though the beta is absolutely amazing fun), MUSIC!!!

I don't have any good mixes to show for you, you will have to trust me. But between these two tracks, you will be hearing about 30+ hours of time spent producing. So, enjoy.

Cheers to the Summer!

If You Would Come Back Home [Empē Remix] by DJ Empē

Thanks for invitation!

Hey everyone, my name is Ross and I go by Anticitizen One. Thanks a lot of the invitation to this blog, hopefully I can contribute greatly. I go to Bowling Green State University in the United States along with DJ Empe. DJing right now is just a hobby but if I ever get the opportunity to play any major shows to get my name out I will take them.
I also do a radio show every week (or try to at least) at the schools radio station WBGU 88.1 FM. It's called Trance Paradigm and I play mainly trance and progressive but if I hear a track that isn't either and I like it, I will play it. I always record my shows and mixes and upload them to soundcloud, dropbox, or megaupload.

If you want to know more about me, send a friend request! http://www.facebook.com/ross.troha
Just make sure you mention you're from Mixologists otherwise I may deny you.

Here are a list of my mixes and radio shows thus far:

Hi guys... is nice to be joining this group...

I have made a mix of three songs that really get me rockin..

Track list:
Enrico de luca - Abyss (original mix)
Tiga ft zyntherius - sunglasses at night (tocadisco heavy remix)
morten breum - on it (original mix)

This set going to Penn State?

Small chance that I'll be deejaying the HvZ invitational after party. If I don't that's cool, but just in case I wanted to get a head start on possible tracks to play. The verdict is that I like this set a lot and I feel it will be the first half of an awesome night if indeed I am chosen to play the tunes. Anyway, a lot of fun to hit the decks again and mix in my style as it had been a while (unintentional rhyme).

AND i almost forgot. Lately my mixer has been a real piece and occasionally when i push the faders up to 10 it just cuts one of the left or right channels on the master. . .??? So yeah, don't mind that and pretend like it didn't fuck up decent transitions haha ok thanks :)

Little Bit Of Advice..

Hey Guys I've just come back from Austria after a week ski'ng.

On the first night some of my friends went out to a club. It was a pretty quiet night and my mate who is also a Dj got talking to the manager.

Long story short we were offered a paid gig.

Unfortunatly neither of had Cds or Laptops with us and were unable to play.

The moral of the story is...

ALWAYS bring CDs or at least a Hardrive with you on hoildays.

You might get offered a big gig.

My 1st Production!!!

I produced this experimental track in about two hours tonight. It's the first production that has ever gotten to the "I think I'll show this to people stage," as I'm still learning. Anyhow, enjoy this work in progress.

Hey all!

For those of you new to the trance scene (or maybe not that interested), this week is a big week for electronic dance music with the Winter Music Conference (WMC) and all.

So tune in and maybe even hit the chat and enjoy some trance in this very special broadcast!

The weekend....was sick!

hey there everyone! This weekend was insane.  On Friday I was doing a house party gig, which was tons of fun, everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves so it made my night that much more enjoyable.  Unfortunately the party was halted halfway through due to a noise complaint...even though I was only using a 2.1 pc speaker set haha  I hope to never have to use such small powerless speakers ever again!  Gotta give a shout to HMC my mc for the night who, unfortunately could not use the microphone due to technical difficulties, almost lost all his voice yelling poor guy haha.

On Saturday I was djaying my residence's formal dance.  Lots of fun once again.  This time HMC had a real microphone and really got the crowd excited.

here are some pictures from the formal dance, unfortunately nobody was capable of taking pictures on Friday :(  HMC is wearing the funky vest, and David Kanters who featured in my song Rise is in the last picture.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us

Tonight was pretty awesome. I took part in a 6 hour gig with 5 other DJs at our university pub. The only legitimate copy of my set can be found here and it was my first practice set, I would like to believe it mostly improved from here. . .

Test Run for Weekend by dj-empe2

I can't wait to get out there and play another set! It was the most fun I've had in a while. The other DJs tore it up! I was honored to be a part of the DJ list. AND DJ AntiCitizenOne who set up the whole gig basically set it up so he would get the least exposure and all the guest DJs would get the most view time. Well surprisingly it all turned out well for everyone, especially him! As confirmed by this video AND these picture




What a great gig and a great night. Rumor is, it might become semi-regular. . .hint hint

The 2000 Fader War

So over the past few days there has been a small discussion about mixing and use of faders. I started out making this just to show you guys, but then figured I'd make it so anyone who came along could understand.

This is how I mix:

Hands on Review: Pioneer DJM-400 2 channel Mixer


The Pioneer made DJM-400 Mixer was designed as an entry-intermediate level 2 channel mixer complete with an effects processor for under $600. I know what you’re thinking, $600 isn’t something to sneeze and you’re right, there are other quality mixers out there for much less. A little more on that later…

New DJM 350 and CDJ 350 announced


Just found this, it's legit, another Pioneer unexpected release.

Higher and Highest mix hahaha

Made this mix after being inspired by Above & Beyond last night. more bad transitions. . .

Higher and Highest by dj-empe2

Above & Beyond @ Necto

On occasion, venues relatively close (meaning 1-3 hours away) to this cornfield of nothingness host good clubs events with names worth caring about. Last night, was one of those nights. Kenneth Thomas came to Necto in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Certainly would have been worth the money and drive to see him alone. However, in addition to his playing, Above & Beyond was headlining the show! So, let me get this straight. . . $17 to see Kenneth Thomas who was voted number one DJ in detroit AND Above & Beyond voted the number four DJs in the world. I would be crazy not to go, even if it was on a sunday night.

Vestax Spin

I recently received my Vestax Spin a few days ago. Vestax is well known for it's audio products such as the Vestax VCI-100 and VCI-300, as well as its turntables and mixers that are used by some of the biggest names in Dj music like DJ Qbert, and Mix Master Mike.

A late start is better than no start?

So yeah...pretty much wanted to post and say what I was going to bring to this blog. My first task is I'm going make a HUGE subsection of what I went through when I started DJing. Where I fell in love with music, the where's, why's and how's. Who I talked to, why I talked to them.

I've been actually spinning with my decks for just under 3 months now. Started Jan 1, 2010 as my resolution to make a dream come true. Cheesy as hell, right? I started talking to people about DJing last August, so...there was quite a lapse there.

So if anyone thinking about DJing stumbles upon this, then know that there is NO TIME TO EARLY to start getting 'in the know'. I had about 10 good DJs willing to help me out as soon as I got my decks. Point being: Get started now rather than later, you won't regret it.

Apart from that, small Bio:
I live in Denver, CO, USA.
Been spinning 3 months
I've had 1 gig so far, on a complete luck chance
Have one coming up after that and a possibility of two raves.
I'll answer any and all questions I can.

And my latest mix.
As usual I'm not the best, but I'm trying.

BMO

here's some of my mixes.


Latest tracks by BMO

by the way here's a cool little thing I found on the internet. It's a Youtube online mixer, it allows you to mix between two youtube videos. Pretty good to get a very beginner feel for how mixing works. You can find it here.

Let's Kick the Beat

Ok starting off here with this awesome new group blog.

My name is Fife and I'm very excited to be part this mixology group! I live in the middle of nowhere Ohio where nothing ever happens. . . I have been an avid listener of trance music for about three years and seriously DJing for about four months. I spin Trance, Progressive, and Electro with some occasional Techno and a pinch of House. I live for this music and I hope that everyone who comes to visit this page and this site can find resonance in what we love to mix. . .and before long I hope you find yourself dancing.

In the making....

Whats goin' on everyone? I'm Vtso4 from Connecticut, USA. I'll usually mix Electro/House /& Top 40 but don't be surprised if I go through some Deep House now and again. Started DJing in my bedroom March '09 and been enjoying it ever since.

Check out the SoundCloud for tracks.

Sappho

Hey guys my name's Sappho

I got into Dj'ing purely for the love of electronic music I origianally spun Hardstyle and Happy Hardcore.

However through blogs such as Earmilk and You can Call Me Pelski I found my love for all things Electro, Fidget and Dubstep.

Gigwise right now I spin at house partys and practice quite a bit in school.

I have found that most of my teachers and both of my parents have been quite unhelpful.

Annyway I have to go to English now.

Early Beginnings

Hey everyone, BMO here.

talking to you from Toronto, Canada.

It all started one evening at my university dorm, when I had absolutely nothing to do. So I just began to learn how to use a mixing program I had downloaded called Mixxx. It's absolutely free for PC/MAC. I began to realize I really enjoyed manipulating music, and I was fascinated at how well professional djs could totally change how a track sounds and feels.
