The ongoing familiarisation with Torq and BeaTunes continues...  This week the new set up felt more comfortable and even an Mac OS freeze 2 minutes I was supposed to start was annoying, but not devastating and didn't put a damperner on procedings. One thing I'm noticing about Torq is that it's pitch shifting and locking isn't very good and it can warble the sound of audio files; most disconcerting. It's something I need to concentrate on more as I use it. Oh, excuse the grand opening this week, I'm just ecstatic to get a copy of Dead Can Dance's remastered "Spleen and Ideal" LP from 1985 from emusic.com (loads more where that came from:) ) Anyway, here's the...

Tracklisting:

Dead Can Dance - De Profundis

Snowblink - PYT

Landau - Six ways to Sunday

Lusine - Gravity

Fever Ray - Seven

James Yuill - Breathing In

Cornelius - The Fit Song

King Rock - The Beginning

Miss Jynx - Time Missed

Q-Tip ft Amanda Diva - Manwomanboogie

Mach V at Back to Mine, 20100406 - Torq & BeaTunes.

This set is my first "laptop dj" set as I'm now a proud owner of Torq (http://www.torq-dj.com/). Proud but still a little bit confused... For those who are interested, I'm running it on a Mac Book Pro G5 Power Book and (at present) i'm using one control Vinyl and one control CD. I was hoping to be running two control cds but I'm finding the control vinyl to be far more responsive and easier to get on with, but due to the way my decks are set up, using two control vinyls is going to take some DIY to build something for the laptop to sit on as, right now, my laptop can only sit on one of the turntables. On the Mac, I'm running spaces, with Torq running in one, with Second Life, Nicecast, Textedit and Console in another, and in a third, I'm running Beatunes (http://www.beatunes.com/). One thing I'm guilty of, in doing these weekly shows, is concentrating on the newer music of my library so, to help me "dig deeper" I'm using Beatunes matchlists to suggest tracks that it thinks are like a track I'm playing. Beatunes analyses your itunes library in a unique way: it works out bpm values, the tonal key of the track and also "colour codes" it it listens to the track and gives it a colour to represent what it thinks the track sounds like, the colours creating a unique palate or view of your itunes library. Then you can build "match lists" based on a single track (or more) and specify how much you'd like the resulting tracks to be like the ones you chose. It's like Genius playlisting, but a lot more configurable; you can specify how similar or unsimilar you'd like the matched tracks to be, all this and keeps a tight but exceedingly helpful reign on all your mp3 tags and iTunes catagories whilst it analyses your tracks. This, it's worth pointing out, can take a reaaaaallly looooooong time, especially the first time you do it; if you have a library like mine (over 3000 tracks) expect your mac to be running for most of a weekend. So it's a bit of a shift in focus for me - new software and a new way of chosing the tracks I play - and I reckon it's going to take me a while to get used to the new way. But anyway - listen to me going on! Here's this weeks

Tracklisting

Peter Broderick - Games & Games Again Tunng - October Fleet Foxes - Sun it Rises The Durutti Column - Neil Glen Hansard & Marketa Iglova - Drown Out Dub Tractor - Higher Hopes Wisp - Turquois Tinged Pennies Luke Vibert - Radio Savalas Grand National - Peanut Dreams Lusine - Baffle Working for a Nuclear Free City - Troubled Son Gorillaz (ft Little Dragon) - Empire Ants Ty - Sophisticated & Coarse Hint (ft Laura Vane) - One woman army Psapp - Parker Massive Attack - Splitting the Atom Bibio - Great are the piths Lusine - Operation Costs Dan Arborise - Another Side of the Sky

A shorter show this week as I scrambled around burning cds to dj with from the tracks I'd bought the night before, so excuse the rather rough nature of the beginning. However... maybe a hour is a better length for you podcast listeners? I dunno, leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. It makes me happy to start this week the same way as I ended last week with a classic Zorg tune from their stunning 2003 CD "La vie privee du Zorg". A marvellous LP still worth tracking down -  thanks to the wonderous Miko. :). Here's the full

Birthday Boy at Back To Mine: 20100217

Well today's my 43rd birthday and I'm celebrating it in style by wearing pyjamas and mooching around the house nursing a happy hangover from many drinks from last night. This set (recorded 2 days ago) was a funny one - I came off the decks not feeling to great about it, I really didn't think it had gone down well, and I thought about not uploading it at all, but I then listened to it on the way to work and I couldn't have been more wrong - I loved listening to it. :) Granted the end is a bit weak and sort of tumbles down in tempo, but still, they're all top tunes. Talking of which, here's the:

Tracklisting

Thomas Feldmann - Next to the Field

Sounds From The Ground - Crystal Beam (out on March 8th

Life feels like a slow trudge through the sludge of a constant Winter at the moment;  though I note that, in my northern hemispherical home, it's getting lighter each time I cycle from work and that does bring me joy; along with the promise of spring only being a month away (ish), life ain't too bad. :D I hope that you enjoy this week's selection - it certainly put a smile on my face. Oh - I'm now also advertising these events on Virtual Advisor - I suggest you SL dudes and dudettes get  on that, sharpish.  Here's this weeks...

Well, yes it is. Sadly, after 2 years (maybe more?) of doing Back To Mine, in Second Life on a Friday, it's getting harder and harder for me to turn up to my own nights so it's time to change. As from now, I'll be trying to do my weekly slot on a Wednesday now - same time as before 6:30pm - 8:00pm, same random shizzle but hopefully far more regular! :) Anyway here's the... tracklisting

DJ Set Uploaded: Drain Club, 20091011

Recorded in the Second Life Club space "Drain" on Sunday 11/10/2009. Towards the end of the set the region was getting rather full and it started to crash which will explain my slight interruption over the later Jon Hopkins track. Apart from that it was a great night and it's wonderful to be back DJing in Second Life. :) Big thanks to Tallim, Coggy & Lanne and thanks to everyone for coming down. :) Tracklisting:

My set from Big Chill FM, Eastnor Castle 2009

This is my set from Big Chill FM at this years Big Chill Eastnor Castle Festival ( www.bigchill.net ). Originally broadcast live from 10am to 12pm on Sunday August 9th, 2009, it starts out ambient and gradually more and more beats are added in - there was a little problem with the mic level at the beginning (it's probably for the best) but it gets sorted out about 30mins in. With huge thanks to the wonderful and eminently huggable Paul Noble ( www.paulnoble.co.uk ) for sorting out the recording for me and big love to all the Big Chill radio crew for having me.
