So here is a mix that started out just being something for the Wakkarusa DJ Winter Classic competition. It actually started as my first attempt in doing a Dj mix all on Abelton Live. Not a lot of people know this but now a majority of Dj mixes are done on computer and not mixed "the old fashion way." I have nothing against this I just like a more hands on approach. Recording a Djmix is a hard thing for me to do anyway just because when ever I am playing live I am so caught in the moment and its tough to get the same feeling in the studio. But I started working on this mix with Abelton and got a good bit done but of course I felt that it wasn't part of me so I took to the CDJs and mixer instead. The mix started off how I would want any live set to start with a bang a song that's going to let you know that this is a party and this is how it is going to be done. From there it went through so many different levels of house and electro that I was worried it would be to scattered, but I wasn't worried about that when I played LE Castlevanias remix of "In It For The Kill" to wrap the mix up. It was like butting that final epic energetic bow on top of a perfect gift. I remember when I mixed it in the studio I couldn't help but turn the speakers up and dance and sing along.. Anyway a little back story there I am working on a new mix to help me get motivated for the summer as well as motivated for more production. So until next all enjoy
