Mix DS140: Transmutation


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!

    Nice one Fred! I like that one too - the 'Your World' into piano is disturbingly dissonant over 'Because of You' but I think it sounds sick when it drops because it modulates the key upwards and gives an energy boost.

    My favourite though is the mix before that one, because of the close key relationship. Two wicked tracks too! (about 26 minutes in):-

Featured this time and due a special shout out are cream of the crop titles from Rafau Etamski hailing from Poland and Melinki from here in the UK. Also inspired from trying Forza Horizon 5, big up to another new discovery for me, brazilian Urbandawn for "Fly Away".
