the blog is going to undergo some slight reorganization in the coming weeks. hopefully by mid january it will sorted out. 05Q4 ended up being cancelled. 05Q3 was recorded recently and will be mailed out shortly. the holiday break was spent mainly in my studio, if you can call a desk niche in the corner of our loft, a studio. it was actually quite productive with several new songs coming out of the sessions that were meant to be spent only tweaking songs in progress. oh well, these new songs ended up stealing the show. my obsession with sleeparchive shows on these tracks. only one song has a melody to speak of. acid house and techno are the order of the day on this latest ep. hopefully a label will pick this up. also during this session, i stumbled upon the notes to nathan fake's outhouse while i was writing one of my own tracks. i decided to do a cover version of his song. i dont know if you could call it a remix, since i didn't have any of the original parts...i am going to post a downloadable mix containg my new tracks and this remix in the next few weeks. watch this space.
but i digress, this blog is supposed to be about my djing. good things are lined up for 06. tracklist is in the earliest of stages for 06q1. should be tasty.
other than music, i spent the holiday visiting with family and friends. 'twas a great time. have recently become obsessed with old episodes of "24" and am renting the dvds in order from season 1 onward.
