Oh, hello world.

A Mix For You

So. The time has come to post some of my DJ mixes. I would like to that many people, including the fine chaps at Ableton Live for creating such a wonderful program, Steve Mizek of www.littlewhiteearbuds.com for giving me some good tracks (and being a wonderful guy to boot), and of course Jimmy Savile (yes, that's right) for being the first DJ to use two continuous turntables and a microphone back in the 1940's, I think, giving birth to DJing as we know it today.

Anyways, the first mix. This is a mix I did that encompasses various shades of house music over the years. Many of these tracks were ripped from vinyl, so the fidelity and sound-quality might be a little low for some of the tracks, and I apologize in advance.

Happy listening!

Inactivity...

Well...it's been a long time since I've updated this. I've been busy with work and art and stuff like that...since I have a bit of free time this summer, I see it as prime time to get this blog back into motion.

I will be uploading some photos and working on a possible interview, so stay tuned.

Best,

Jason
