http://rj.la Sat, 25 Oct 2008 03:50:59 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've not been dj'ing much at all lately. Life gets crazy. I REALLY want to put together some new mixes though. Let's hope for some time soon. Til then, enjoy what I got here. http://rj.la/2008/10/25/hiatus/ So all the February mixes are out for download. Also I am mastering my mixes now for sound quality. This mean the volumes will all be the same throughout the mix and there should be no clipping. That said, they may sound a bit softer, so you may need to ... http://rj.la/2008/03/11/new-mixes-experimentation/ So It's March, and I'm finally putting out the mixes I did in Feb for download. Figured I'd do one more I've been wanting to finish for a while. It's my first deep house mix I've released publically, and I'm psyched it's finally finished.

Last night I was looking at all the tracks I hadn't used in the prior 2 mixes. I had a bunch of great tracks. Figured, let's see what we can do with them. This mix came out better than I expected. Another ... http://rj.la/2008/02/22/progressive-tech-house-mix/ On a bit of a roll this week, and with tons of tracks to my avail I wanted to do a few diff styles of mixes. So here's a trancier one. It will also be released in March, but here's an early listen. It's named Synchronicity for it's flowingness. Or whatever. ... http://rj.la/2008/02/22/progressive-housetrance-mix-synchronicity/ I am trying to do more mixing and get more familiar with Ableton Live, as well as try and let go of my perfectionism. So this March mix is a combination of some "experimental mixing" and toying with some Ableton Live features I hadn't played with before. This will be ... http://rj.la/2008/02/19/progressive-house-mix-imperfect-thoughts/ Wow it's been a while since I've released a mix. Last year was nuts, so after sugary sweet, priorities changed and I didn't have much time for DJ'ing. Anyhow, it's now 2008, the progressive house scene has changed a bit. The tech house sound seems to be the new "thing" ... http://rj.la/2008/02/04/progressive-house-mix-indulgence/ So it looks like I am mostly using this blog for releasing mixes lately, heh, I gotta write here more often. Tend to use my vox more for that. Anyways. The approach I took with this mix is that electro sounds are great and all, but sometimes I like a nice ... http://rj.la/2007/04/08/progressive-house-mix-sugary-sweet/ I chopped out the first 3 tracks so I can put something on my new myspace music profile. But figured I'd put it here too. I should have it finished hopefully this weekend, if not then, then soon! [mp3]http://rj.la/mixes/apr2007_minimix.mp3[/mp3] http://rj.la/2007/04/06/next-mix-preview/ So Saturday I pretty much stayed in and relaxed, watch basketball and chilled. Didn't want to do much that night either. Got some new beats and decided I'd sit (and stand) at my turntables and see if I could put together an Electro mix. I like some Electro, not a lot, I'm ... http://rj.la/2007/04/05/experimental/
