So, my set for this Friday was seriously abbreviated because of a higher priority use of the time slot, but I did manage to actually remember to hit record at least.
I opened with my second go at a remix/mashup/bootleg in the Ghetto Funk style which is not great, but I am not unhappy with either… it is quite a bit better than my last go, I hope to maintain that rate of improvement. heh
The set was short (17.5 minutes), and in order to start where I wanted and finish on a major key, I had to change key pretty quickly so I kept the mixing simple (not that I know a lot of master level techniques), but I would still appreciate any input you guys might have to offer.
OK, I’ve finished uploading the Friday Flavourites set for last night. This week I started to expand the styles I’m playing, added in some swing to the funk… hope you enjoy it!

At long last, here it is - the first set played with the prototype of my DJ software.
It was a whole lot of fun getting this far, and I am really going to enjoy having total control of my workflow. This set is a bit of a baseline, I am not pushing it very hard, but I will need to spend some time practicing the workflow before I can really push it.
Please forgive the bumps. In particular, “Crazy, Crazy” by Skeewiff & Keith Mansfield really didn’t work in the mix, slowed down way too much. I also need to fine tune the EQ response and a whole slew of other things, but that’s neither here nor there - this thing is fun to play with!
Hope you enjoy it, thanks for listening!
Setlist:
Swahn - Swing Fandango
Phylo - The Way You Look Tonight

Here’s the first set played live with my new DJ software.
It’s based on an impromptu session at Deadline on the afternoon of the second day… somebody brought out a bluetooth speaker, so I threw together a Mario vs. Sonic playlist on my phone real quick and jumped between my favorites of the various remixes I have for those two.
You can tell the DJ software is still a prototype, and I again didn’t push it very hard - mostly because I love all of the tracks in this set so much that I really didn’t want to do much with 'em except let them play. It’s a bit rough in places, but this is a lot more open format than I usually tend to work.
This will probably be the last of the regular Friday Flavourites (in spite of how irregular they’ve become lately). It was a whole lot of fun, and I am very thankful for the opportunities it gave me.
I really hope you enjoy it!

This was my first chance to drop the groovy funk since moving back to the US from Europe, it sure did feel good. Hoping to play more parties in the future, or I may either get myself a radio slot or something similar. I gots ta play!
I close with my latest (still unreleased) track.
