Nov 06
So here’s a new mix for November, actually had this planned out the week before last but I didn’t get a chance to put it all down since (as I was away in Aruba for a week!) so I got to it last night. Starts off midtempo, deep, a bit of dub type stuff, working up, mostly house with a bit of broken beat and some other stuff. I have another big backlog of new tunes to get through, so hopefully I’ll do another mix or two before the month’s over

I had been thinking about moving into digital dj-ing for a while and finally decided to invest in the Torq Connectiv a few weeks back. I’ve been trying it out since then and I’m very impressed. I have it set up so that the connectiv interface feeds into my Tascam X-9 mixer so that I can cue and mix through that. I also acquired an M-Audio Triggerfinger which I can use to control the Torq software. The upshot of all this is my first all-mp3 mix. It’s another long one, as with previous mixes there’s a range of different styles on it – Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, Gospel, House, Broken Beat etc. – and like the 32 Tune mix from last year starts out slow at about 97 bpm working up through the tempos to 130bpm.Second August Mix: 07-09-18twentyeighttunemix.mp3.

Got another one for this month. Got some latin jazz opening and closing this one and it kicks into a slightly higher tempo than usual – 130 bpm or so working down to the mid 120s later on – and more of an emphasis on the four on the floor stuff. I should have a few more broken joints on the next one.

I’ve a bit of a backlog of tunes – both new and old – that I’ve been planning to include in mixes so here’s the first attempt to ease the backlog. This one started out as part of a longer planned mix but I ruthlessly edited it down to around an hour. It starts off quite deep and then picks up a bit in the second half.

Hot on the heels of the last one, and seeing as I’ve bought quite a few tunes recently I wanted to listen to on the iPod, I got a bonus mix for y’all. Normal-ish length, with quite a few different styles and tempos: bit of a jazz flavour, a couple of bonkers tracks with varying tempo, three old school joints and the rest new/new-ish.
