Digital Soundboard - Live harmonic drum and bass mix recordings

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.

It looks like the Bassdrive archives where I usually host these mixes is down again until further notice. I have no complaints though, the service when available is blindingly fast and of course I don't have to pay anything for it! (thanks Brad) So, while Bassdrive explores some alternative solutions (like torrents I'm told) I'm also trying out a back-up service for hosting called SoundCloud . I have updated the last three mixes on this feed with the new hosting URL but it seems iTunes does not pick them up as valid media links...if anyone has any other recommendations for a good iTunes compatible host please let me know!

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.

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 harmon...

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 tu...

Harmonic pure Traktor drum and bass mix. Recorded and broadcast live on Bassdrive Internet radio 6pm GMT 18th August 2008. It was good to be back live on the air today. I finally solved the issue with my live ogg streaming from Traktor and everything seemed to go smoothly. Anyway, hope you agree and enjoy!

Was asked to fill in an extra hour by the station so here is the 2 hour live drum and bass mix!

Part 1: My bit Part 2: Audio Graffiti mix recorded by Vinyl [Abort] 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 disappoint 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! Check out this interview with them by Nottingham's Left Lion magazine. My part of the show's track list:- Kabuki ft. Jenna G - Rock This Style - Cr...

I was chuffed this week with the live show, getting over 11 hundred listeners tuning in to me mixing live - it is quite a thrill! Considering I started off at around 600 or so a few years back I think I have done okay developing that formerly graveyard timeslot. It is almost matching peak time figures! A huge shout must go out to Overfiend and Jesse G for the sound engineering they have brought to the live radio show output over the last few weeks. In fact the new Bassdrive management is prooving to be not only proactive but passionate about improving the station all the time. Mixed and broadcast live on Bassdrive - 03 February 2008.

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.

I was down at Muse in Nottingham on Saturday with my laptop and Traktor and had a really good time. I was on between 11 and half twelve, warming up for the headline act Kubiks and Lomax. Thanks and respect must go to the CULT promotion and DJ team for having the cohones to book a dirty, laptop-using, MIDI controller and for putting together such a fine party. Check the CULT blog for pics and a very interesting interview with Kubiks and Lomax. Thanks also to all that came down to support me - it really makes a difference to see friends dancing in front. Not only is it infectious and draws more people onto the dance floor, it's a huge pleasure for me. I was still feeling jaded from the night before but in high spirits for this weeks show. It features a few tracks off a new digital album from Spearhead records called 'Moodswings'. It is one of the best digital various artist LP's I have heard in a while and I highly recommend it for DJ's and non. To grab a copy...

I've listened to this live recording I made on Sunday morning a few times now and am really pleased with it. I decided this week to air it instead of performing and recording the set during the show. Here's why I like it - I tried to concentrate on the phrase timings and key change undulations that add to the feeling of flow and progression. It is in a key signature range of 3 to 5 sharps with single +/- # note step changes (C#m, G#m and F#m). Another strange but quite interesting feature is that for the crescendo of the mix at about 26+ mins in, the key goes up a fifth to G#m (5 sharps!) (for Drum Origins - Hypercomplex, who's natural key is Gm without realtime time-stretching)) Anyway, technical stuff aside, it seems to work for me...hope you enjoy too :) Big up all the below beatsmiths!

This week Logistics gets some harmonic help from his elder brother's new album 'Medial History 4'. Both brothers' tunes display a distictly contrasting approach musically but also show how adept they are at arrangements and sound engineering in the studio. The other point to make about these two is their their tracks tend to have a very strong sense of key, which makes harmonic mixing even more pleasurable for the DJ and the listener. For those of you interested in the harmonic mixing aspect, the first brotherly combination below was in F minor. The second combo later in the mix a perfect fifth away in C minor. Performed and recorded live, 6th April 2008 - no voice over, no normalisation for lots of headroom.

Look out for me playing live next month (May 10th) in Nottingham alongside Kubiks and Lomax courtesy of CULT . I'm kinda nervous about it but excited too. Hopefully some of you can make it down to point and laugh when it all goes horribly wrong! ;) As usual, this week's mix was mixed and broadcast live on Bassdrive . Enjoy!

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.

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 a...

Thanks to all that commented about the different mastering and encoding used last week. After listening quite a a few times myself, I agree with what has been said and think the new processing may have advantages for live broadcast but for the purposes of these archives, my way is preferred. So, with that in mind, we are back to the 192 kbps Sony Sound Forge normalised archives. This weeks set starts with a bang in D minor and includes some techier numbers, as some of you seemed to like the fact that I used to mix up the DnB sub-genres more. Do you agree? Thanks again for your feedback and comments it really helps me to mould future shows.

This weeks archive file is the one saved directly on the Bassdrive server. Although it is only 128kbps, it is processed through a multi-band compressor with other dynamic enhancements made by Jesse G and Overfiend - the one I mentioned a few weeks back. To me it gives the whole mix a more even volume and adds presence but is quite heavily compressed. I'm still in two minds as to wether I use this or continue creating my own 192kbps archives derived from the normalised Traktor wav recording. Which do you prefer?

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.

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.

I sent some of these mixes to an american soldier (called Rick (Richard, same as me)) doing a tour in Afghanistan at the moment. He was after some on DVD because the internet connection doesn't really allow for large downloads. Anyway I hope they help him in some way in his humanitarian mission. Maybe a few mujahideen can put down their AK's and shock out to some Commix too... Don't forget to watch Ross Kemp in Afghanistan if you are interested in what's going on out there. Monday's 9pm on Sky One! Oh and I have moved my source feed to blogger.com so that you guys can post any comments and feedback.
