Well, then! It’s been a little while since I last posted anything, and a Prince remembrance is a tough act to follow. But this has a chance, at least, of doing the trick.
If you would like to click here, you will initiate the downlizzle of a four-hour mix that I made the other day. It was meant as an “audition” for my DJ services at a semi-local joint, but I figured that since it went so long (editing has never been my strong suit), it was worth sharing outside of that narrow avenue.
[EDIT: Updated the link; it’s good for another week or so, which should catch everyone. If you missed it, drop me a line (and if you know anywhere on the internet that I can stash a file that comes up to just a shade under 500MB for free, please do the same)…]
This post also will serve, at least, to unveil my new DJ name: Officer Nasty. Where did this name come from? Good question. In advance of any idle googling this name may inspire, I will tell you one thing: Not from Family Guy. Never anything from Family Guy.
I made the mixxx using Mixxx, which allowed me to select all the songs, Auto-DJ them and record the mix without having to manage much after pressing Play. It’s a decent app, but not the most intuitive when it comes to the above usage. (There is no “Play” or “Record” button, for example.)
(Side note: I only DJ from vinyl, so the playlist consists strictly of records I actually own and would/will play in a live set.)
As always, let me know what you think. (If you’re reading this, you know how to reach me.) What do you like—and what don’t you like? Equally interested in both!
Say; let’s try adding a playlist—real small, so it doesn’t take up the whole page.
