I’ve had this deep desire lately to get my hands on a small, inexpensive synthesizer module. During my research, I encountered the Behringer Model D, a clone of the Moog Model D synthesizer. I played with the Behringer recently at a local music shop and had a lot of fun making weird new sounds. I […]
I’ve been researching the new generation of music gear lately, specifically compact synthesizers, sequencers, samplers, and drum machines. Putting together a groove on a small drum machine feels more like play than serious work. What I need right now is play. I’ve been thinking about ways to create a live set using newer modules like […]
It’s eMusic download day. Deep deep deep house compilations and beautiful stratospheric ambient music. Giant compilations of deep tracks that number 27, or 35, or 50, or 75 for $5.99. Something about the possibility of finding a close-your-eyes-and-float-away song (or 25) that makes these completely irresistible to me. I’m also supplementing my ambient collection with […]
With a sad heart and in eternal gratitude for his friendship, I dedicate last night’s mix to the memory of my friend, Mike Wona Warner, who lost his life on Sunday. This humble set of house tracks starts with his own Ups and Downs, which I discovered yesterday on SoundCloud, and includes a few of […]
So, a couple of weeks ago, I put together a mix, inspired by Giselle and her third fight against cancer. She knows so many legendary artists, musicians, and DJs that I felt a little shy about sharing this. This one’s 34 deep house tracks (the number of candles on her next birthday cake), includes a […]
A little more than four years ago, Jay Def and I started posting our mixes on Digeum.org, about three years after an abandoned attempt to start a podcast. This set of mixes, dubbed Digeum Mix Sessions reached the grand finale of Volume 8 (26 mixes, A – Z, per volume) yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, in downtown […]
I’ve been goofing around with writing music for the last three years since I finished 53 tracks in 2008. I have tons of saved files on my computer from hours of playing with music I never completed. In July, I threw it down with my new APC40 and started finishing tracks again. I thought I […]
It’s been three years since Jay Def helped me launch Digeum Mix Sessions. Of all the blogs I post to, I’ve kept up with that one with nearly religious adherence, both to my weird little schedule and to the timely posts that bring that music to all five of our listeners (heh). In three years, […]
It’s been a while since my marathon of mixes at the end of 2010. It’s about time to get back on the horse. I felt like pulling the tempo back to 121 today (hey, that’s 11 squared, right?) for this binary day mix. I’ve been mixing a lot of tech house, minimal techno, and electro […]
Over at Digeum, I’ve decided to close out the year with a set of five mixes in five days. Are you ready for some grooves? Right on! Here we go. Monday – Digeum Mix Session 05M – “Orbit Around the Moon” – 1:18:39 @ 128 bpm – 78 minutes of tech house grooves, including the […]
