Real Slimeball

 



2020 has been a strange year. Maybe having to remain apart from others made a more club-oriented sound appealing. Maybe being bored at home made shaking my butt alone in my bedroom more appealing. Maybe having a mid life crisis in the middle of a global health crisis made wanting to make music for people half my age more appealing. Maybe I wanted to write a love letter to bass music from across the globe. You decide.

PS Sorry about the swears and misogyny. It not everyone's thing, I know.

And You Thought You Were Normal III: The Center of the World

Four years since I released my last (non-live) mix, I decided to ease into a return with a familiar structure. The "And You Thought You Were Normal" series focuses on diverse tempos, wide-ranging track selection and psychedelic lyrics to create a loose musical journey. Tracks tend to be more personal than the average mix and, frankly, weirder. The last AYTYWN was subtitled "Waving Goodbye," and explored death. This new mix, "The Center of the World," focuses on a journey inward. What will you find when you turn out the lights, ingest your favorite intoxicant and drill deep into the bedrock? The Sublime? A long suppressed horror? Partying troglodytes?
Hey, I can't be held accountable for whatever nonsense your subconscious gets up to when you're not paying attention. Listen for yourself and go deep.
[Contains Swears]

Last Chance

I've been getting fairly comfortable with a style veering toward slightly poppy (Black Box, Scissor Sisters), melodic tracks (Mark Knight, Luciano) with a more retro, early 90's feel (Simian Mobile Disco, Autodeep & Romorri), sprinkled with some bass/breaks (Evil Nine, Four Tet) for good measure. I also got to mess around more with a tempo "arc," going from 119ish BPM up to 127ish and back down to 110. Enjoy!

Tracklist:
Black Box - Everybody Everybody (Rockappella)
Philip Arruda - Seeds Of Brooklyn (&ME Rmx)
Inner City - Big Fun (Simian Mobile Disco Rmx) 
Stee Downes, Kruse & Nuernberg - Last Chance 
Round Table Knights - Drop The Dow

The Wedding Reception


I've been DJing some wedding receptions lately. This mix represents a certain part of the night at a reception. It's maybe 10:30. The 10 year olds are tuckered out and full of cake.

The last hour and 20 minutes of the party, from 75 all the way to 133 beats per minute. Hope you enjoy!
