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.
