Movember - nu disco / indie dance / electro house / club rap
Peter tipped me off about "Movember" (growing a mustache to raise awareness about testicular cancer -yeah, I know, totally makes sense) but I also just like the name; sounds like you're trying to get more out of November. I definitely am.
In this mix, I went for faster cuts to the next song, just a few mins with each track. Also tried my hand with loops this time. Turns out loops are fun.
And traffic came to a screeching halt.
Rain.
Not snow, not even hail. Fuckin' rain.
It's amazing to me that San Franciscans completely lose the ability to drive if moisture appears on the pavement. Want to throw an SF driver into a tizzy? Just drop a Slurpee in front of their Prius and they'll go into hysterics thinking there's been an avalanche.
Bunch of bitches. Makin' me late for work and shit..
So, I'm in Berlin right now.
Apparently THAT (and four months) was what I needed to finish this mix.
I hope you enjoy.

Maximum Foxicity - indie dance / hyphy / club rap / dirty electro / dark wave / nu disco / dancehall Sep 2009
Best mix to date. Embarrassed to say that it's simply because I discovered having the monitors at ear level (versus aimed at my torso) make a HUGE difference. I heard things mixing I never heard before. Technically pretty solid, I go around the clock in terms of key steps and some killer tracks on here; like this one a lot.
Disaster Recovery - cosmic house / mash-ups / nu disco / club rap / indie dance / baile house / dancehall (50 mins) July 2009
Recorded after a date gone arwy, another therapeutic session! Good mix but a couple of technical issues; drop in volume on the Bloc Party track due to some poor EQ'ing. My bad.
Separation Therapy - electronic cumbia / cosmic house / nu disco / club rap / dirty electro / baile house / indie dance (67 mins) June 2009
Recorded on a sad day, another therapeutic session. Longest mix to date, strangely enough.
Music Heals - indie dance / club rap (43 mins) April 2009
This mix is sponsored by Hype Machine. Thank you JB for turning me onto this site. I grabbed every single track through it and it opened me up to a whole bunch of stuff I was searching for.
Stimulus Mix - cosmic house / nu disco / london breaks / baltimore club / baile house / club rap (49 mins) Feb 2009
Timed with the passing of Obama's Stimulus bill. I hope you find this mix stimulating as well.
Bladerunners vs. Money Lotion - "Champ" + "Your Bmore" + "More of What I needed" mash-up (8 mins) Dec 2008
First mash-up I created, just Serato and turntables at play here. Love this thing.
