Today’s a workout rest day, so I decided to use it to get another mix done for Digeum, my fifth this month. My housemate is sick, so I didn’t bump the Alesis monitors very hard, turning my sound card down to about 1 of 10 and playing primarily through my headphones. There were a couple […]
Last night, I played my fourth mix session for Digeum. After reediting one of Jay Def‘s new tracks, I pulled the tempo slider back to 120 bpm and played a fairly laid back set of house tracks from my high resolution rips. Now that I’ve listened all the way through it, it’s pretty clear that […]
One year ago, I did my first CrossFit workout of the day (WOD). Since then, I’ve tracked my progress in a log book and, for a while, was recapping my workouts here. I stopped posting them on this site primarily because it bored me even to write them, so it must have been excruciating to […]
So, this afternoon, I decided to wander into the T-Mobile store to square away my bill. I bought a new iPhone about six weeks ago, after I read that T-Mobile was reducing their early termination fee from $200 to $100 for customers whose contracts expire within 180 days. Imagine my surprise this afternoon when I […]
Tonight, I went for it yet again, with my third Digeum Mix Session, this time entirely with music from my collection that had been reimported at 192kbps or higher. Some of the tracks in my high resolution collection seem to be, for some reason or other, unplayable by Traktor. However, I just skipped over the […]
Jay Def‘s back with his sophomore mixdown. His mix set this time is even more groovy, a little bit laid back, and just beautiful. He tossed in one of his original tracks, “U’re Gruv! I Has It!”, which really begs to be placed on a picture of a cat with headphones on. The man takes […]
I noticed that a few of my tracks sound kind of low resolution when I’m listening to music on my wonderful Koss headphones at work or my new Sony DJ headphones. Erica, a bit of an audiophile, listened to my Digeum mixes and asked me why I insisted on ripping everything at a low resolution […]
I just couldn’t contain myself, so I decided to put my hands on the Vestax again and churn up another mix session. I started out in tech house territory, but faded into a Latin house track that got me started on a Latin house kick that lasted mostly for the rest of the mix. I […]
Now it’s my turn. Tonight, I got everything lined up, recorded my intro, and got to work. There are a few places where I slopped the beats a little bit, but I’m not going to complain too much about my initial mix session. I’m supposed to suck at first. I was considering doing a live […]
Jay Def threw down the gauntlet with gusto in our first mix session. He plays a heady mix of delicious funky house music. Digeum Mix Session – Volume 01, Session Alpha. Mixed by Jay Def in Boise, Idaho, USA, on Sunday, September 01, 2008. Running time: 1:04:39. Go give it a listen and leave a […]
