Just groovy, hypnotic techno and house. :) |
True, and it's still enjoyable to listen to. |

A friend who is overseas wanted a copy of the set divided into tracks, so here's a link to a *.zip with the mix divided into tracks with all relevant label information in the ID3 tags:

If anyone wants to host this somewhere permanently, that'd be great - otherwise just the Sendspace link for now.

Lol, no - not at the moment. We'll be back in March for a little over a week though. When we booked the trip to head back I got excited and threw the Dutch flag back in my profile for a bit.
;)
And I'm not really Dutch, though my grandparents immigrated from the Netherlands in the early 1900's - so I grew up immersed in Dutch culture, and I guess sometimes feel more in touch with that part of my personality than anything American. |

Men men, i listend tot his set the ENTIRE day at my work..
ing ace!
Ofcource after FC Kahuna the highlight of this set is the tune that comes in around 36 mins. Grooovy! The vox stabs are awesome same as the beat.
How do you find these tracks anyway? << Will buy turntables this summer. Producing music only isn't enough for me.
It's oke i am not Dutch from origin either, Born in Kuwait with Iraqi parents. Live here for 16 years though.
There is something about carrying the dutch pasport. It makes you feel more special haha, don't know how to describe it |

Thanks for the kind words boss - that tune you like is actually the Jeroen Verheij/Joris Voorn tune, straight out of the Netherlands.

I guess there's no one answer to that, because record shopping is only a small portion of it. I'm fortunate to have a lot of people with good taste constantly turning me onto new artists and tracks, without whom I probably wouldn't even know about half the I like. Of course there's still the odd "big name" dj set I listen to where I find a bunch of tunes I like, but more than anything it's just being surrounded by folks with good taste.

I think I have to agree with others and say I didnt really feel it went anywhere. I really enjoyed pretty much all of the tracks but felt there werent any moments that made me sit up and pay attention I guess. Mixing was spot on, all the tracks were introduced nicely and all sat together really well.

This is a philosophy I subscribe to as well, it is difficult and it doesnt always come off like you say, but i find it far more rewarding to do so. And i think this is perhaps the most important point, if you are enjoying what your playing then at some point things will click and you'll end up firing much more often than not and then you'll really stand out from the crowd (at least thats what I keep hoping will happen anyway ;)) |
