Enjoy!

The first 4 tracks are especially spot-on and I get a little giddy when I hear the transitions between them.  Specifically the transition between Dirty Freak 2009 and Bass Fresh.  Bass Fresh had a little lead bit with just an 8-bar vox sample.  I looped it and hit that.  Every 16th bar I would slide the crossfader over to just that track and play the sample.  On the third loop, I accidentally slid it over too early and created some dead air for a second before the sample came in.  Even that worked.  It’s a subtle trick, but it makes me happy.

My newest track, and the first I’ve actually finished in a fair amount of time.  This track is very special to me.  Not just because it’s a fun track and I am happy with how it sounds.

The song, Superhootie is named after the real Superhootie, my friend Hilary.  I met Hilary from Twitter last year.  Since then, she and I have become good friends.

A quick story about Hilary:

When I got my Pulmonary Embolism last fall, I was rushed by ambulance to one of the primary hospitals here in Boise.  After spending time in the Emergency Room, I was sent up to ICU for the first day of my recovery.  I was sitting in the ICU for a short time and in comes the CNA assigned to my room, Hilary.  We were both surprised to see each other and we talked for a bit before she had to go see to her other patients.

It may not seem like much.  After all, she was simply doing her job.  In fact, she asked me if I wanted to request to have another CNA assigned.  (After all, certain aspects of her job could result in awkward situation if they came up.)  However, I felt a considerable amount of relief to know she was there that day.  That was really the first time I’ve ever been taken to the hospital for anything that serious, and I was scared as hell.

I don’t know if Hilary even knows how much it means to me that she was just there for me that day.  This is the reason that I wrote her theme song.  It is a small token of my appreciation of her for being a good friend.

Hilary’s bio on Twitter reads:

“Full-time RN student, full-time CNA at a hospital, & my own private rock star!”

To me, Hilary is more than a rock star.  She is a superstar.  <3 Hilary!

This is a drum & bass mix at 172 bpm.

In searching around to learn to mix more accurately, I discovered the website DJ Tech Tools. (http://www.djtechtools.com/) They have great tutorials on how to use Traktor and Ableton Live as well as reviews of new equipment and a lot of information relevant to the digital DJ. Check them out.

This is a departure from the usual mix sessions, because this one is not House. That’s right, baby. Dubstep in the house!

There are a couple of flubs, but overall, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Check it out, here.

This is my first mix on the road (or at least the first that was produced outside of Idaho).

Digeum Mix Session 02 Juliet is 2 hours and 12 minutes of mostly soulful and disco house with a few surprises thrown in.
