2011-07-09T16:02:00.003+01:00

Inspiration for this one came from my new Kef KUBE 2 subwoofer and a reinvigorated interest in one of my favourite cartoons from the 80's, Thundercats. I want my hair like Lion-O's...

The new sub really does make all the difference when listening to this genre of music. It opens up a whole new layer of sound that otherwise gets missed, even on decent full-range speakers or headphones. My neighbours are probably a little less enthusiastic, I'm sure...

I did this quickly today so I had a fresh mix for tomorrow's business trip to LA. I wasn't going to release it as the next episode as it was initially just meant as a way to listen to some of my new tunes during the 11 hour flight. I changed my mind...

Knowing someone else could be listening to what I am will be a welcome comfort. See you on the flip!

This month I have been setting up my new 64-bit Windows 7 PC and while many things work much better than before in Traktor many other things don't work at all anymore - my x-session pro MIDI controller being one of them. Infuriating as it is fannying about with new PCs to get them how you want, I have managed to squeeze out a new one hour mix.

This month's artwork is one from a 'science of harmony'-inspired series by David Ashton. More to come in future episodes. Thanks Dave!

Mix DS153: Titration

2010-03-21T16:45:00.040Z

It's the 3rd Sunday of the month which means it's new Digital Soundboard time. This month's mix features prime extracts from forthcoming LP 'Standard Gravity' on Miami-based label Urban Chemistry. Look out for this dropping on all formats in your favourite stores in April.

I have named this mix as a tribute to Urban Chemistry. Chemistry was never something I excelled at at school (I much preferred biology, in which I am a Bachelor of Science) but I remember doing countless experiments called titrations using long glass measuring things called burettes. Thrilling eh?

Anyway, big up to all the people contributing to this (fairly new) label's emerging sound.

10 tips for (digital) DJs

2010-02-10T20:14:00.007Z

Just a few tips for any budding digital DJ's. Please feel free to express your agreement, disagreement or indifference by commenting.

Play music you love and trust your own taste.
Mix in key. Transitions between songs then become something to look forward to and relish rather than something to get over and done with ASAP. Harmonic mixing at it's best should almost create new music between songs and extend a tracks 'shelf life' or replayability.
Be your own harshest critic. Listen to your mixes over to analyse how you could improve. Appreciate what goes right and be realistic about what went wrong or didn't work.
Practice new techniques that could help you improve your mixes as often as possible. Keep learning all the time and refine the efficiency of your workflows. Try not rely too heavily on the same old techniques once you have mastered them.
It's better to be safe than sorry if you're live. Don't experiment too vigorously and be judicious about what to maintain and what to stop. Sometimes pride can try and interfere with your decisions.
Take criticism from others and be grateful they can even be arsed.
Try and listen to other DJ mixes apart from your own. Not just from your own genre/s nor just popular big name DJs.
Embrace technology if it will help you achieve your audio 'vision' but don't over-complicate things. Imagine what the perfect mix would sound like to you between two tracks and work towards it's rendition incrementally.
Don't bother beatmatching manually - while it might be rewarding to you it adds no value for the listener. Grid your tracks and work with a master/slave tempo so you can perform higher musical value input to the mix.
Use as high a quality audio interface as you can afford. Cheap analog conversion circuitry can contaminate your output to a PA.

Mix DS150: Inferno

2009-12-21T18:43:00.011Z

Sadly my time at Bassdrive radio has come to an end. The reason I was given was that they are looking for 100% reliability from their show broadcasts, which I could not offer anymore. I had worked closely with them to try and improve my setup but to no avail. The technical problems were frustrating for the station, it's listeners and for me...

One limitation of Traktor is that it can only stream in ogg format. One limitation of Bassdrive is that it would only support mp3 input. This meant I had to either prerecord, transcode in real time to mp3 or broadcast my "what you hear" channel. None of which were very prosaic solutions in the end.

I have had a great 5 years on Bassdrive moving from a weekly to a monthly show last year. Like Dfunk said though, "all good things must come to an end". I'd like to thank the whole Bassdrive crew for having faith in me to begin with and I'm sorry things didn't work out. There are no hard feelings and the bright side of all this is that I can now concentrate what little free time I have these days on this podcast. I may return to the radio in future but not before I have a completely solid broadcasting setup and can actually look forward to a trouble-free show.

This month's mix features liberal festive sprinklings of Netsky, Command Strange and The Square tunes - 3 artists with unique styles that continue to catch my ear. Also featured is another delectably simple yet melodic piano tune from Komatic that I am amazed has not been signed yet.

Enjoy the new mix over Christmas and the NY. All I ask is that you don't forget to drop by and visit in 2010.

Mix DS149: Let's do dis!

2009-11-16T09:04:00.052Z

Apologies to any of you that tuned into Bassdrive yesterday to listen to the show live. For some unknown reason, my stream was coming through too fast so had to be cut off. All is not lost though - I recorded the set for your exclusive listening pleasure. Please check it out and let me know what you think, I missed having direct feedback from the Bassdrive chat room.

This month's episode is named after the iconic sound-byte from Modern Warfare 2, read by Craig Fairbrass of EastEnders fame, playing alpha male cockney SAS sergeant Gaz... MW2 as it's annoyingly abbreviated is the sequel to a highly over-rated first person shooter with silly pink sniper rifles, indesctructable scenery and a well above average share of what sounds like, screeching chimps.

Having played it over the weekend, it seems the same game as before with a few extra bells 'n' whistles. Extra bells in more ways than one. This game sold 7 million copies on its first day...very clever marketing and I've got a feeling we'll see Craig and co. in an associated movie spin-off soon...without Bianca this time.

Mix DS146: Drumlins

2009-08-10T15:28:00.009+01:00

My trusty original X-Session MIDI controller had been playing up in the lead up to this months show. Several of the rotary dials on it began to malfunction, causing them to have a life of their own and start changing values for me during a mix...

The offending article - My long-serving original X-Session

I've unceremoniously retired it to the dustbin now but this then gave me the problem of what to replace it with? I did my research on what was available and ended up going for the compact and relatively inexpensive elder brother to the X-Session, the X-Session Pro. I was tempted to spend more on one of the posh Vestax's controllers, but they still haven't really got it right for me yet... not for that kind of outlay anyway. The VCI-100 is nice but I don't need or want platters. The VCM-100 is nice too, but I don't need another audio interface and I want 4 faders. Faders are what I missed most about using the original X-Session. The most tempting I found was the super new TR-1 but it also comes with a built-in audio interface and has no cross fader! What were Vestax thinking??

Vestax VCI-100 - £400 with pretend records or 'platters' on.

Vestax VCM-100 - £400 - Nice and compact but pricey (Due to the audio interface) and only 2 faders.

Vestax TR-1 - £400...so very nearly but where is the damn x-fader? We're not all techno n trance DJ's you know!

X-Session Pro...only £60! Can't go wrong for that money with cross fader, 12 rotaries and 4 up faders. BYO audio interface though.

And finally here is this weeks show tracklist mixed using the new X-Session Pro. Perhaps a little more tentatively mixed than usual due to me trying to get used to my new controller but I hope you enjoy listening nevertheless. Let me know what you think!

Consonance and dissonance in balance

2009-08-04T08:32:00.001+01:00

As Frank Zappa explained it, "The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama. Any composition (or improvisation) which remains consistent and 'regular' throughout is, for me, equivalent to watching a movie with only 'good guys' in it, or eating cottage cheese." In other words, a composer cannot ensure a listener's liking by using exclusively consonant sounds. However, an excess of tension may disturb the listener. The balance between the two is essential. Contemporary music has evolved in the way that tensions are less prepared and less structured than in Baroque or Classical periods, thus producing new styles such as Jazz and Blues, where tensions are usually not prepared. New show coming up this weekend folks!

A new beta of Traktor Pro came out last week so I bit the bullet and mixed with it for this months show. Still a few bugs to fix but in general a much faster performance than previous versions. Tracks seem to load much quicker into the decks but there are still some problems with the FX units when used from cold (as you may be able to detect!) I still need to collate a track list for you guys but in the meantime help yourself to the audio. This week features new music from Undersound, BCee and Redeyes among others.

UAF/DOA competition

2009-04-02T17:45:00.019+01:00

I entered a competition last month to win an all expenses paid set at the Urban Artforms Festival in Austria to be held this May. 100 DJ's were nominated to participate and the results were announced today. We had to submit an 8-10 minute drum and bass mix and the competition organisers chose the winner which was DJ Insular. I thought I'd let you have a listen both to my entry and the winning entry so you can make your own mind up. My view is that I did not expect to win but hoped that the winner's mix would be seamless, full of energy and leave me wanting to hear more. While it has some good tunes in and is quite smooth for a vinyl mix I'd hoped the mixing in it would inspire me but it didn't really. Anyway, I'm sure the judges know what they were doing and chose their favourite. Congratulations to Insular and readers please let me know what you think to both mini/mega mixes. I always value your feedback! Playlists Insular mix 1. Allied Forces - Gather Round 2. M Beat ft General Levy - Incredible 3. System - Near Miss 4. Xample & Lomax - Contra 5.

Mix DS140: Transmutation

2009-02-08T16:00:00.014Z

I have really enjoyed the recent celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. It is truly staggering what evolution can produce if given long enough. Many of the evolutionary principles such as adaptation, mutation and natural selection apply not only to species but to cultural phenomena like DJ software. Instead of the transmission unit being a gene, Richard Dawkins coined the word "meme" to describe how one might extend evolutionary principles to explain the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. This mix is my first with a new species of DJ software called Traktor Pro. It's direct ancestor is Traktor 3 (which I was using up until now) but it has been influenced by many other meme-pools. I held off using it live for a while because it had too many bugs (mutations??) but this latest beta (1.1) is much more stable and usable. I'm still getting used to the new features particularly the effects and filters but think it has a lot of potential... Big up to the 1369 Bassdrive listeners that tuned in live!

Chromaesthetic DJ software?

2009-01-15T17:54:00.003Z

I stumbled upon this fascinating paper while rambling around Google for an image of the circle of fifths. For a couple of years now I have been suggesting to Native Instruments DJ division that they build upon the tools in Traktor to enhance live harmonic mixing. So far, I haven't had much success but I think this may be down to me not explaining myself very well and not campaigning hard enough. This paper has helped me to crystalise my ideas for a tool that can link tonality with colour within Traktor (or any software DJ application). Extract from paper: This correlation is mirrored by the testimony of chromaesthetics, those afflicted by a common form of synaesthesia in which neural pathways are crossed and auditory stimulus also evokes a visual response – flickering colored hallucinations dubbed “photisms.” Although the color of any particular note varies between chromaesthetics, these phenomena do have universal qualities, or form constants, which include inverse relationships of pitch and tempo to photism size and smoothness (respectively). It has also been observed that the paintings of these hallucinations closely resemble early cave paintings, which lends some credence to the hypothesis that spoken language and art developed from similarly intertwined synapses in the brains of early humans. Specifically, the software could represent a tracks tonality through use of colour - say on the waveform display itself. As the DJ alters the pitch, the colour changes accordingly. Using a system similar to the colour charts in Michael's paper (pictured below) the DJ could quickly learn which colours go with which (and hence which keys go with which) because they go together visually as well as audibly. The tracks listed in the track collection display below the waveform could be in the colour of their natural key or the colour of their projected key after an arbitrary pitch shift (similar to the system found in the excellent Rapid Evolution 2 by Qualia)

DLM Studio Mix

2009-01-06T17:48:00.005Z

I found this really nice new 2 hour harmonic mix from DLM (myspace.com/dlmdj). DLM performed it using 3 Serato-driven digital decks. DLM said "Its slightly different to my previous ones with a good deal less 'anthemy' dancefloor type stuff on it and a lot more rolling, liquid type beats instead. Let me know what you think - spent a LOT more time than usual planning this one to make sure the mixes roll as harmonically as possible." Well, I appreciate his efforts and I thought you guys would to. Check it and let us know what you think!

Last night I setup a proper commercial hosting account for the mix downloads in this feed. Reluctantly I have to pay for this on a monthly basis but it should mean a very low % downtime and does offer some nice ASP.NET hosting features which I may make use of soon. Please let me know if you have problems with any of the downloads.

2008-10-16T18:48:00.002+01:00

Good to finally see online stores keying the tracks for us! I hadn't seen this until today on any other online dnb outlet. Fly over to http://www.d-n-b.co.uk/ and check it out. It's only the vinyl and CD at the moment but downloads are on the way very soon. Hopefully the other shops will follow suit! Big up Chemical Records for taking the lead! Have you seen this service on any other site? Please let me know if so.

Bassdrive show schedule change

2008-10-01T18:10:00.008+01:00

Ez readers n listeners! I have agreed with Bassdrive management a new monthly show schedule in order to free up some of my own time at the weekends. Doing a weekly show for the last 3 years has been an excellent experience for me and I have loved mostly every second of it. However, it did have some downsides for my social calendar - not just the fact that it was every Sunday but also the time that I put in each week preparing for the live show. It has been and will remain a labour of love for me, just now on a less frequent basis. It makes me sad to yield the weekly slot as I have built up quite a solid listener base on Sundays that was simply not there before - it was considered a graveyard period of the weekend and initially to act as a grounding bed for me and my new style of dj'ing live with software. So, thank you all that do make the effort to tune in on Sundays for the live mix - after all that is what my show is really trying to do - show how software can be used to harmonically mix live - YOU have proved it works for the listener by simply tuning in. I think it offers something the other more traditional mix shows don't. The new schedule will allow me to make even more careful tune selections and prepare even more thoroughly. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it and as ever will keep you posted on here with the details we finally agree about the new time slot. P.S I may upload last Sunday's show but it was cut short at 40 minutes due to skipping so the recording ain't that great.

DS136: Lydian

2008-09-15T18:07:00.019+01:00

As most of you know, I love a good harmonic mix and I reckon this week delivers again. Some transitions are more harmonically compatible than others but all keys used are related in some way through my use of time stretching to manipulate pitch separately to tempo in real time. Slightly less harmonic transitions are acceptable and indeed desirable, contributing to tension if used in the right places and sparingly. To relate and mix tracks tracks live using software it is really useful to have confidence in the key of each of your tracks prior to mixing with them. To help get this confidence, you can play along with the melody on a software MIDI keyboard mimicking it. Tracks that I have taken the time to do this in or that I have tried and tested in the mix frequently get an * in their comments tag. If I see one of those I get a boost and know exactly how it will sound in the mix, saving audition time during the live show. Some really good software to get you started keying your tunes is Rapid Evolution 2 by Qualia. It's a really nice java implementation and is being constantly improved.

DS127: 2 hour live Traktor mix

DS126: feat. Vinyl Abort guest mix

2008-06-10T18:09:00.016+01:00

A shorter live set this week from me due to a guest studio mix from Tim and Jim, the technical and musical force behind Ableton Live mash-up group, Vinyl [Abort]. These guys last appeared on the show about 2 years ago and really impressed, so it was a great pleasure to air their talents once again. As expected they didn't dissapoint and have clearly improved through their experience in the studio and playing out live. Mixes such as these represent what they sound like when performing at a show, using a plethora of MIDI controllers, laptops, MC's and visuals. Quite a setup but it importantly results in a unique live dynamism that really is something to behold. Promoters, do yourself a favour and book 'em before they get too expensive! There's an interesting interview from Nottingham's Left Lion on them and you can get a clean copy of their studio mix that I broadcast on Bassdrive directly from Left Lion, here. I'm still having problems with multiple enclosures on my feed so iTunes listeners can use this URL for the clean VA guest mix: http://www.leftlion.co.uk/audio/vinyl-abort-on-the-fly.mp3 My part of the show's tracklisting:- Kabuki ft.

DS124: Bridge tracks

2008-05-26T11:35:00.015+01:00

I was asked to play a little longer today to cover for another DJ so the set is around 90 minutes long. I was experimenting with harmonic mixing of different sub-genres. I have always liked the somewhat disturbing contrast mixing them creates. I think one of the secrets to making it pay off is to form relationships between them by having complimentary musical keys. Linking sub-genres together using 'bridge tracks' that help to ease the pain of transition is a good idea too. There are quite a few to choose from and some DnB artists specialise in these such as Chris SU and Resound; making tunes that defy conventional categorisation and manage to combine different sub-genres seamlessly.

Hot on the heals of his elder brother Nu:Tone's LP comes Logistics with 'Reality Checkpoint' of which a couple of tracks are featured below. Definately worth checking out in a download bundle - pure quality throughout. Today's mix also features one of the 4 Hero remix winners, Dangerous D - with an intensely bouncy take on Reinforced's 'Mr Kirk' saga. Also worth looking out for is the new EP from Vital Elements 'How it all began' bringing some fresh beats to some old school samples. More to come from that one in coming weeks.

DS116: Resurrection

2008-03-24T09:28:00.020Z

I tried the new Traktor 3.4.030 beta this week but it had some serious issues with its claim of 'improved soundcard support' as it didn't work with my Creative X-Fi properly. This meant I had to revert back to the current release version, 3.3.060 for the show. The new sound engine changes are *intending* to help with hot-plugging MIDI controllers and audio interfaces when performing live. One of 3.4's other interesting updates though, is full Unicode support. This means one of Traktor's most useful features, the track collection database and it's metadata tagging system become even more powerful. Supporting Unicode means collection fields with data stored in non-latin languagues such as Japanese, Hebrew and Russian can all be searched and sorted upon. It also means better language support for the interface labels. I look forward to the NI team getting this update nailed, it's a big one! Mixed and recorded live on Sunday 23rd March 2008. Happy holidays and big up to all my regular listeners - this mix is dedicated to you.

DS112: Obdurate

2008-02-25T07:09:00.009Z

I was happy this week to find two new releases in C major, which I opened with. This is quite rare as 90% of DnB I get is in a minor key. The third track, 'Distance Zero' by Lynx had to be pitched up a couple of semitones to blend in, reaching C major's relative key of A minor. I really like the feeling mixing relative keys brings to a mix. As you can probably tell, I relished performing this set. I'm really looking forward to rinsing it on my mp3 player throughout the week! Big up to all the talented producers supplying me and to all that appreciate these mixes.

DS111: Heroes

2008-02-17T21:51:00.011Z

I re-recorded this weeks set because I accidentally deleted the original recording while trying to fix it afterwards.... One of Traktor's most annoying and persistent bugs cropped up at right at the start of the live show, which is with the key lock. Sometimes, it turns itself off even though on the interface it still shows as being 'on'. Not good but something I can help the development team fix I hope. I am pleased with the re-recording anyway and hope you enjoy listening. It is the same playlist that was broadcast with a few tasty extras towards the end.

The playlist for this episode was recently requested (10/10/2010) by 2u4u so I thought I may as well re-up the audio for you all to listen to at the same time. The title above and description below are from the time before I started to give names to each episode (suggestions welcome!). The request to review my podcast in iTunes still stands and huge thanks all that have done so far.

Anyone that gives me a podcast review here in iTunes gets a special shout in the next show. Thanks any/all! :)
