Plus a little
Not something I’d expect from these guys but I’ll give it a spin..

Ayo Europeans holler at me for booking!

This track’s been getting a lot of blog love so I guess I should probably post it here..
So I’m sitting at the Indianapolis airport waiting to catch a shuttle back to Bloomington.. saw this last night:
I’m a huuuuge fan of Yelle / TEPR / Grandmarnier’s stuff so it was damn fulfilling to see them killing it before a packed auditorium. Speakers stacks shook, lighting rigs trembled, and faces gelatinated like silly putty in a microwave.
There’s been some debate lately as to what constitutes live performance and what doesn’t and I don’t really care where the line is drawn, just make it awesome and that’s what counts right? It was two years ago I wrote to Yelle’s myspace trying to book some US shows for her; while I was probably not well-equipped to do so at the time (and possibly would still not be), and I can now see why she and her camp waited. Translating studio tracks into a live show is not easy work and it was so much more kinetic, forceful and gratifying to see Yelle’s tracks translated off sequencers and onto live drums and synth than it would have been to see her backed by a DJ.
But all in all this was just something I’d been wanting to see for really about two years and, well it was just as good as I imagined it’d be.
I always liked this song, never seems to get old. A few weeks ago on a walk I started humming the bassline and imagining a lo-fi DJ Deeon kinda beat over it; came home and put this together. Here’s a low qual version, you can buy the 320 via Paypal or get it from Snocap on thee myspace page.
More new tracks soon, and a new mix is on the way too! I’ve also begun assembling tracks for a couple self-released EPs, guess we’ll see if my money saving schemes add up to some Rad Summer releases or not!
First time messing with AfterEffects, it’s pretty fun..
This was recorded off my mixer last week at my friend James’s fashion show. A couple slower-than-usual remixes I threw together, and some other stuff reworked/inspired by the early Bond movies. At the end where the Louis Armstrong track comes in is when the show ended, and the models did a final group walk (I’m sure it’d seem out of place listening to it otherwise). That’s where the playlist ended and I started playing tracks for the reception—I’ve got another hour or so of that, but it’s pretty close to a mix I’m working on so no uploading there..

Just put this mix together as a sort of DJ resumĂ© item.. it’s all done unrehearsed and improvised, like when I spin live. Really, I tried to do a playlisted, rehearsed mix and I’m just not good at working like that. So I just went off the top of my head. I tried to touch on as many bases as possible as far as genre goes without making it too hectic. Listening back it’s got a few more rough cuts with little/no transition than I’d like there to be, but it’s pretty much how I do things live soooooo.. that’s how it is on a live mix I guess.
The name comes from why I put this thing together in the first place, so I could get High School dance gigs. Laugh all you want but that TTM-57 wasn’t cheap and I’m lookin to start making money doin this stuff, y’know?
