New dj mix should be out this week...

Just a quick head's up, I should have a link for you sometime this week to a new dj mix I put together last week for my dj compatriot J Puddy. Puddy hosts a podcast called Homegrown and he asked me to do this month's edition.

I'm pretty excited about the mix! It highlights (partially) where my head is at these days, musically speaking, with lots of funky breaks, organic latin-influenced house, laid back hip hop and lots of original heavy funk and soul party jams. (I say "partially" 'cuz I'm still digging the electro house sound these days) The mix is also the first time I've ever done a mix almost entirely with Serato, the first time I've ever incorporated scratching, and the first time I've broken the 20-track mark in a mix. (and under an hour too!) It's definitely much more active of a mix, so those of you with short attention spans should be happy. :)

I'm pretty happy with the results, although I'm going to try something different with Serato next time. I think the mp3 format is just fine for club settings, but for future mixes I'm going to upgrade everything back to wav. Spinning mp3s, even high quality ones, looses more than CD or vinyl would once you compress it again down to a downloadable size. :P

Anyways, keep your eye on this space!
