Digital Soundboard - Live harmonic drum and bass mix recordings

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 rel...

If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element I've only just realised in iTunes you only see reviews of podcasts according to which iTunes country store you are browsing. When I switched from the UK to the USA store (using the drop-down box at the bottom of the store page) I was amazed to find I had 9 reviews, all rated 5 out of 5!

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. dlmdarklight · DLM 3 Hour 'Harmonic' Liquid Mix 2009

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!
