FUCK I love to DJ!!! It's just the right balance between anonymity and drive: you're the hose that the fire flows through. I really don't ever want to be at all well-known, but that seems to be necessary to get gigs. My ambitions are modest and finite: give me a room with 50-200 smart people and some good bass, and I'm as happy as I want to be. Funny, in the US I was considered too left-field, but in Berlin the game is much deeper and I need to step it up! Most excellent problems to have, indeed.
two flavors:
-trippy experimental chillout and dark ambient, languid cataclysm.
Lay em out on blankets and pillows, everyone high as hell*,
let me drive the magic carpet, I gotta angle.
from beatless/noise to greasy electro, narcotic dub, chunky techno,
and just twisted whatever: dynamic, eclectic, and always blatantly psychedelic...
anything-goes, on the end of a big sharp stick, with love.
-sexy tribal techno, elbows up motherfuckers!!
with plenty of dark ambient wreaked in over the top, and whatever else I can use to get it off.
Me and Ableton Live were so born to be lovers.
For four years I was a resident at Halcyon (Brooklyn) every Sunday evening for Undercity. Couches, coffee, smart people, and wicked subwoofers. Now that was a good time.
A brief introductory tutorial on DJing. Go ahead, you know you want to.
or, skip that: how to warp tracks for DJing in Ableton Live 7.
*but only on safe legal hallucinogens, of course: stop nukular terrrrorism! and give money to DPA right now.
