Mix DS179: Catapult

If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element I listen to these mixes to help me work but also to play. A meaty harmonic drum and bass mix goes a long way in helping me to focus on the task at hand; be it building a Web site or stomping losers who desperately need to die using my 70 ton robot => In other news, Beatport has just launched its Mixes service where mixes can be hosted in a similar way to Mixcloud . The difference being the DJ can charge for it providing all of the songs in the mix were either bought from Beatport or their own productions. It is interesting because all 3 stakeholders get a cut of the proceeds; artists/label, Beatport and the DJ. I may give it a go soon to see how it all works. The main motive for me using it would be to reach new listeners and take advantage of their embedded player. The nature of the music just isn't commercial so the proceeds are just icing. Anyway use the green down-arr...

Mix DS175: Timestretcha

If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Invoking my prerogative as a dnb DJ I ask for your understanding regarding the gratuitous misspelling of the title to this mix - just couldn't help myself... Nevertheless, time stretching is an important capability digital DJs have that enables the adjustment of the musical key (pitch) of tracks in the live mix without having to change tempo. Without it there can be many fewer harmonic mix possibilities between tunes. The even geekier of you might like to know time stretching in Traktor is provided by a high quality phase vocoder (Cher's favourite instrument!). Also, apologies for the lack of mixes being published over the last couple of months. I've been so insanely busy...must remember to work to live and not the other way around! :) Aaanyway, let me know what tracks you are feeling and stuff.
