Mixes // NJC – Technoillogical: The Mad Scientist Mix

Tags: , // by Texas // added August 22nd, 2009

Hey Gang!
This mid-weekend pick-me-up comes from NJC. After emerging from his basement laboratory he sent me the mix and the following:

“Time to present the music that got me so fired up that I had to pick up the CDs, only to put them down again for the Xponent. This is a bit of an experimental mix, seeing what the software and the controller can do. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. Some of it seems to work, some, not so much. But it’s all interesting, funky, and (I think) cool. Please leave comments, even if you really don’t like it (actually, if you don’t like it, and can say why, I really want to hear).”

I was lucky enough to get an insight into NJC’s creative process when I was able to listen to an early version of this mix: it didn’t change too much… it was refined. Again, and I must admit it’s an advantage of running the blog that I get to listen to the mixes before I post them, I have enjoyed playing this mix a few times over the past few days. As NJC said he’s after feedback for this one, both good OR bad, so feel free to leave a comment or head over to the Facebook page and make a comment on the wall.

Mixes // Discotouch – Funk Station

Tags: , // by Texas // added August 15th, 2009

Hey Listeners!
Mr Discotouch is back with another dose of his funky flavour of House. When I asked him for some words about the mix he fired this back to me:

“Discotouch pulls into the Funky Station, and blends together his favourite genres of dance music – funk, disco, smooth vocals and lashings of Latin percussion. This mix shows how he can effortlessly move between styles during a set while keeping the groove alive!”

Well, I can certainly testify to it’s high rating on the ‘Head Nod’ scale; it’s been keeping me going this morning while I’m working. Get downloading, Peeps!

Mixes // Bart Banda – July Fever!

Tags: , // by Texas // added July 31st, 2009

There’s a special treat for you today guys – out first Interstate mix!
This one comes all the way from Brisbane from local up-and-comer Bart Banda. A finalist in the ITM Future Music Comp earlier this year, Bart has a residency at the Fringe Bar and plays guest spots at Chalk, GPO and The Beat. Bart’s mix comes from the warmth of Briz Vegas to help stave off the Southern winter. Here’s the mix in his own words:
“This mix was composed to battle the cold weather of July and basically telling it to go away! It starts with an electro bang and then takes you on a groovy tech roller coaster with some blended funk. There’s a lot of new releases in here with remixes of some real old skool stuff and a tribute to all Tetris fans out there. I hope you enjoy.”

Dunno about this ‘cold weather of July’ stuff; think we may need to bring Bart down to Tassie for some real cold! This mix has been on very high rotation since I got it a few days ago; the start just hooks you in (you will see what I mean) and it keeps going with some great song choices. Play it LOUD before you go out this weekend – this will be the perfect warm up for whatever you get up to!

Bart Banda – July Fever!
1. Electrixx – Tetris (Original Mix)
2. Moguai – I.D.Y. (I Dance You) (Gorilla Ribs Remix)
3. Bass Kleph – Keyboard Cat (Original Mix)
4. Julian The Angel – Sweet Child Of Mine (2009 Dario Nunez Remix)
5. Fedde Le Grand & Mitch Crown – Scared Of Me (Hardwell Remix)
6. Joris Voorn – Sweep The Floor (Original Mix)
7. The Face, Adam Shaw & Mark Brow – Needin U (DJ Wady Ibiza Mix)
8. Mihai Popoviciu & Markus Homm – Bis Co (Original Mix)
9. Sandy Rivera & Andy Daniell – Whatever (DJ Spen & Irvin Madden Funke Disco Mix)
10. Milk & Sugar – Let The Sun Shine (Milk & Sugar Sax Dub)
11. Bingo Players & Chocolate Puma vs. Candi Staton – Touch You Got The Love (Tommy B. MashUp)
12. Julien Chaptal – Mamdaye (Original Mix)
13. Visti & Meyland – Yes Maam (All Nite Long) (Trentemoller Remix)

Mixes // StNick – And They Named Him b00mpty!

Tags: , , , // by Texas // added July 22nd, 2009

Hey gang!
Firstly, apologies for being quiet lately, things have been a bit hectic. However, I have something special to make it up to you (and I’m currently recording a few mix ideas on my days off, so I’ll make up for the silence!)

Today’s mix comes from Syrup resident StNick. He’s the local exponent of what I call the ‘US House’ sound, or ‘Jackin’ House.’ For the non-genre types out there this is a good chance to get exposed to this distinct style of House. Nick described his mix like this:

“And they named him b00mpty” was meant to be a laid back mix of cruisy Jackin’ House.. stuff that would have been more at home in a cafe than on the dancefloor. I kinda got carried away, playing old stuff and new stuff, and wathcing the BPMs climb!”

He got carried away all right; the mix is nearly 2 hours long, and he got so in the groove he forgot to get all the tracknames! When you listen you will see why. If you are after a particular trackname leave a comment and I’ll get StNick to check in regularly.
He was kind enough to give me another mix too; that one will be available soon.

Mixes // Liv – Progressive Trance Mix

Tags: , , // by Texas // added July 3rd, 2009

Today’s mix comes from Liv, a stalwart of the local Trance scene. This mix is firmly at the Prog end of Trance Street, as she says in her comment:

“This mix is intended to be a demonstration of the rich melodies and irresistible groove that you’ll quite often find at the progressive end of the trance spectrum. Flamenco guitars, pianos, and some sexy, sexy alto sax all make an appearance. It makes me wish I could find a sunny beach with some warm sand to dance in, so I hope it does the same for you.”

This mix had the distinction of being the first track I played on my new iPhone and it a pretty damn good way to break it in. For those who don’t play the ‘genre games’ with Dance music this may not sound all that different from some of my mixes; indeed Liv and myself have formed a ‘proto-duo’ to play these sounds together track-for-track because the tracks work together so well and the lines between the genres are so blurred. You will hear from VousDeux (me and Liv) soon, but for now here’s Liv’s latest.


Liv’s Progressive Trance Mix 6/09
Redemption (Cressida Remix) – Firestorm pres. Coll & Tolland
Leap of Faith (Original Mix) – Andy Tau
Galaxia 2009 (Original Mix) – Treadstone
Professional Killers (Jerome Isma-Ae & Daniel Portman Remix) – Komytea
Pleasure Under Pressure – Strange Doctors
Spacebump – Carlo Resoort
Metro – Jaytech
Metropolis – Gareth Emery
A Little Bit Special – Sunquest feat. Josie
Fumar – Mat Zo
Forever (Ayleon Remix) – Syna

Mixes // 20,000 Leagues Under the NJC

Tags: , // by Texas // added June 25th, 2009

Ooh, I’ve got a cracker mix for you all! It comes courtesy of NJC, who is playing at Syrup on Friday 26/6 supporting Steve Hill. I’ve had this mix on rotation all week (I know, I should have shared it earlier!) and it’s bloody FANTASTIC! Here’s what NJC had to say about this mix.

“Let me be your captain into the sometimes dark reaches of the deeper styles of techno. This is no day cruise. Come on a voyage to the edges of what deeper techno has to offer. Here there be melody. And if you turn slightly, you’ll hear driving baselines. Never fear though, we’re safely tethered to funky percussion floating on the surface.

Whether your previous outings have been to the deepest depths of house, into the seas of tech house, whether you’ve surfed the waves of trance, or taken in the barren beauty of minimal tech, there’s sure to be something to remind you of home. So grab your snorkle and dive on in to quite a different mix from my usual as we travel twenty thousand leagues under NJC.”

Did I mention I REALLY like this mix? What are you waiting for? GET IT NOW!

Live // DJ Texas @ La Casa

Tags: , , // by Texas // added June 11th, 2009

Thanks to the generosity of residents StNick, Discotouch and Matt B I was able to play an hour set at the La Casa night @ Syrup on Friday the 5th of June. Being a House night I took the opportunity to play some old favourite vocal and party house tracks. And thanks to the awesomeness of Torq and the Xponent I was able to record the live set to share later.
