533 Mix 01

Alright, let's start with some cold, hard facts here.

I live in downtown Los Angeles at a loft that provides more than one function for me (keeping a roof over my head): it's also a studio and gallery space. I don't produce art, but I live here -- it's enjoyable.

We like to throw parties. They may not be the biggest around; they may not be the loudest on the block; they may not be the most crowded -- but they are a lot of fun, and they tend to attract a rainbow pastiche of people.

Last night we had one such shindig to celebrate a friend's birthday. Below is my entire DJ set from the night (it's nearly four hours long). I don't have a tracklist for it and I wasn't in top form. While the thing starts well, it degrades over the course of 220 minutes or so of audio. If anything, this'll keep you occupied for the bulk of your work day, so check it out for that if nothing else!

It features loads of disco, plenty of minimal, a few handfuls of Latin stuff, and some goofball jams (courtesy of my "partner" for the night, DJ Pussyfinger, who has an obsession with Pulp and all things Jarvis Cocker). Lastly, due to technical difficulties, the mix was interrupted twice. I cut out the blank spots, but they sound a little choppy. Be warned.

Rock.
