Solo I.D. tunes mix
August 5
This week has absolutely flown by. Apologies for the paucity of blog posts this week - and indeed for the downtime (if you even noticed!); the blog was down yesterday and half of today due to a DoS attack on our hosters, Posterous. Luckily, they're generally pretty on the ball and quickly set up a new server, so now I've pointed the domain to the new server (no small task for a technical halfwit like myself) and we seem to be back on track.
So, as you might have gathered from Sam's post earlier this week, I was playing in Kiev at the weekend. It was one of those gigs where everything goes right, and any working DJ will tell you that this is something of a rarity. We all have our ideal of what a gig should be like, but it's not often that everything matches up to that - the club is full, the crowd are going mental, the sound system is good, the monitors are clear, all the equipment works, the booze flows steadily from the bar to your hand, you get your selection and mixing spot on, and girls even start taking their clothes off. Yep, to get all those, including the last one, is very rare indeed. So, on that front, out to the Kiev crew for a wicked night. The dude with the mic in the photo above is Valta, one of the promoters, and if you want to see the rest of the photos from that night, you can find them here.
As a prelude to that night, I had done a mix for the Kievbass Radio Show on Sub.fm. I decided to do an egotastic mix of entirely my own solo tunes, which I've never done before - and I think it came out pretty well. I suppose I would. But I reckon it shows quite nicely where the I.D. profile is going - dark, spacious, jungle-influenced breakstep and dubstep (and even some DnB at the end there). You can check the full show archive here, or just stream my mix below.
