i suppose tonight’s mix was successful. in that it occurred. i don’t know. this is one of those things that occurs to me and i say yes, it is important that i do this, then when i’m doing it and it isn’t immediately rewarding, i am not SHOWERED WITH TREASURE, i get kind of down on myself.

i really shouldn’t be posting this mix. it is full of slips and bad decisions that i determined were not worth taking the time to edit. but i want the purpose of these live streams to be experimentation, practice. if i’m going to improve i need to remove the crutch of fixing these things in post. so i’m posting this for the record, and it really isn’t meant to be listened to or downloaded or anything really.

i apologize for wasting your time.

this is the hour i did for yesterdays western djs 12 hour mix. in hindsight i probably should have taken into consideration the several hours of music that had already played before me. my mix was probably too much of a singular thing, starting off light, gradually building up, then tapering off at the end. on the other hand i had no idea who the djs were before/after me or what they would be playing, so i figured i should just do my own thing. feedback was generally positive though, aside from the one guy who was chirping the stream pretty hard. anyway…i’ll leave it up to you guys to judge.

shoutouts to everyone on facebook/chat/im/etc who was liking posts and saying nice things. ilu guys ^__^

been wanting to do a japanese hip-hop mix for some time now. in my head i always think of japanese hip-hop as some alternate reality to north american hip-hop, like someone over there stepped on a butterfly and they missed the jiggy era and jazz-influenced hip-hop dominated instead.

it came out much shorter than i had hoped. i generally try to have anywhere between 20-40 tracks to choose from when i’m planning out these mixes. it just so happened that the cutting process along with other issues like file compatibility and wanting to not have the same artist more than once left me with only 7 tracks.

it’s still a fun little mix though, i think, and appropriate for this peaceful december weather.

it is an unusually warm october day. here are some beats.

i was trying something a bit different here. i made almost zero effort to beatmatch. maybe that makes it sound really amateur, but i sort of like it? i dont know. somebody out there set me straight on this. i think that in general, hip-hop is better when you dont spend so much time trying to rationalize it. (so i guess i better stop typing). just try not to think about it.

i know i know, that mason track is overplayed. it’s just such a great opener i couldn’t help it. this one went a little over one hour which bugs me because i am ocd about that sort of thing. but i had to squeeze in that solee track, too good. special thanks to mcdade for the track selection, you should keep up with his tumblr and/or youtube channel if you aren’t already. he has good taste in sound.
