I'll be dusting off my robot avatar and clicking butts to dance as I've been asked to DJ back in Second Life on Saturday March 11 between 6pm-8pm uk time (10-12 slt) not sure if the location yet but the line up looks amazing so as soon I get all the details I'll be passing them on.
Mach V @ Back To Mine, 13/02/2009: Adieu to Maldor
It was an emotional day. Maldor Mayne, one of the original shining lights behind Back To Mine (and someone who guided me through the early stages of my Second Life existence) , has decided to take a break from Second Life and today was his last day. So, as I state at the beginning of this show, this one's for you, Mal. We're all going to miss you.

Back To Mine: Friday, 16th January 2009
This is my first set of 2009 in second life and it's a bit longer than my usual set - but that was I decided to play the most amazing Program Music 1 by Japanese Composer Kaishiwa Daisuke, which rocks in at a mammoth 35 minutes long, but is worth every single second of it.

Back To Mine set: Best of 2008 round up
I finally managed to get down to it and sum up some of the great music that has made 2008 great for me and it's mostly LPs, which I suppose is a change in itself, as for the last 14 years of DJing my music purchases have been mostly made up of singles, but moving on to buying CDs and having an emusic subscription has changed that. Anyway - on with the list (it's not in order, but the best is saved to the last):

Mix Archive (Sleepy Time): At Home, on Sunday (Spring 2008)
Another set recorded from Second Life. I was itching to play some ambient tunes and I talked my friend Altern8 into letting me to dj at his excellently designed chillout room at the Second Life Club space "Home" and here's the result. It starts off with an amazing piece by Tom Heasley, called "Prologue"; Tom makes these amazing pieces just using a Tuba (worth remembering when you're out searching for antique analogue synths for that illusive pad sounds). There's also 3 tracks from Gel-Sol - whom I'm quite happy to describe as a music genius - 2 off his new Ambient LP "IZ" ("Mourning Wok" and the title track) and his last more beat oriented LP "Unifactor" (both available from Upstairs Recordings) and a track by another music genius, Jon Hopkins off his surperb "Opalescent" LP, on Just Music; oh and, of course, an Echaskech tune "A Slow Day" (you can watch the video to that by cliicking here).

Mix Archive (Stay in and dance): Zbornak's Birthday Mix (Summer 2008)
One of the great things about Second Life is the people you meet and without a doubt my life is enriched because I know Zbornak. I was asked to play at her birthday party as a surprise guest and this mix is the result - there's a little bit of me chatting at the start, but don't worry I soon shut up and get on with the mixing. ;) It wasn't a planned mix, the tracks came to me as I went along (mostly), and I was exceptionally happy with the set - thank god I recorded it! It's starts out with a few favourites, moves into the party funk then gets all heavy, wanders into the electroclash room for a bit and ends with a couple of classics - definitely one of the most enjoyable sets I've played from home. :)
