New Mix: Move Me

Move MeI originally put this mix together for a mix contest.  It did not win, but I enjoyed the music in this mix so much that I decided to share it here on my website.  It really expresses the groovy dark music that I’ve been into as of late.  There are some spectacular vocal moments and some melodic transitions that I’m really proud of… especially the transition between Hazel and Rendezvous, which lasts over the span of a few minutes.

New Mix: Eventide

Album ArtThis mix is intended to serve as my summer promo, so that’s why it’s listed as such (even though it’s not quite summer yet.) I named it “Eventide” because, after listening it through, it really reminded me of being outside as dusk is turning into night, when the sun is almost set. This is probably both due to the fact that two of the track names are “Night Air” and “Sunsets”, as well as the mood these tracks portray. Continue reading

New Mix: Classics

Album ArtThis mix is a little something different, as it’s not dance-music specific.  I was asked to put together a mix of personal “classics” for one of the message boards I post on, in a sort of “mixtape” format.

This was a very difficult project for me, as I always have trouble coming up with “favorites” for anything and I could have easily put together a 4 hour mix to get everything in. My approach was to try and give a good demonstration about where my influences come from. There is so much more that isn’t covered here, but alas, I had to keep it to 80 minutes. I know that this is more of a “mixtape” approach, but I would be lying if I said that the idea of which tracks would flow better into each other didn’t give me a method to help me narrow it down.

New Mix: Nectar

Recently recorded this mix the other night after the beautiful weather succeeded in it’s quest to put me in a good mood.  I realized that this recording is truly representative of the way I actually play out (which I seem to have trouble doing when putting together a “studio” mix), so I decided to use it as my new promo.  I have this whole dance-inducing groovy/loopy deep sound with airy overtones thing going on lately, and I’ve been rather happy with it.

Mix: Life Happens

(Post added Nov 25, 2011, but mix was created in April 2009) This mix was actually the product of a contest that I entered on a message board, in which everyone suggested genres, they were jumbled, and then the genres were re-assigned.  The idea was to have to put together a mix in a genre outside of your “comfort zone”.  I ended up with dubstep.  So, for the first time ever, here is a mix I put together which is oriented around dubstep!  At the time, I was not particularly familiar with the style.

Take note that this is not full of the big, noisy, wobbly bro-step you’re probably used to hearing by now.  This is more moody, listening music (and not all of it is dubstep, anyway… including the intro track).  Hopefully you will enjoy.
