Mach V @ Back To Mine, 20100616

Sorry for the lack of update and podcasts lately, life's been super hectic and with the festival season about to kick off I will admit that these shows might become a little irratic (tell us something we don't know!) over the next few months and for that I appologise. Let's hope I can make some amends to you with the Tracklisting:

Eluvium - Amreik Daisy - Erin Lange The XX - VCR Fever Ray - Coconut Transient - forest zone Bonobo - Prelude & Kiara Computer Saw - Elektrocentric Jonsi - Lilikoi Boy Dan Deacon - Surprise Stefani FUR - Friends (Drexon Field rmx) Caribou - Odessa Panthu du Prince - Bohemian Forest Bonobo - 1009 Underworld - Luetin Ace of Clubs - Classid 1 LCD Soundsystem - Dance yourself clean Kelpe - Eye Candy Bath

There's definitely something up with my track recording set up - at present I manually update the track titles in Nicecast and that gets picked up by a console log file but it's not picking up each one and it seems to be getting worse... hmm. something more to sort out... anyway lucky for you, dear podcast listener that you get the full and proper (but probably misspellled)... Tracklisting

Snowblink: Don't stop till you get enough Massive Attack: Psyche Lost Idol: Lightwerk Alucidnation: Technically Warm Helios: Halving the Compass Lusine: The Thick of It Prince: 17 Days (Professor LaCrois remix) Justice: New Jack Prodigy: Wake Up Call (ft Kool Keith) The Gossip: Spare me from the Mould Yacht: We have everything we wanted School of Seven Bells: White Elephant Coat Red Snapper: Lagos Creepers LCD Soundsystem: 45:33 (Prins Thomas diskomix) Kraftwerk: Music Non Stop (LIve version) Flight of the Conchords: Inner City Pressure Telefon Tel Aviv: Introductory Nomenclature Booka Shade: Havana Sex Dwarf

With me borking the recording last week I intended to just play through the tracklisting from last Wednesday as, apart from it being distorted, it wasn't too bad a set, and with my back playing up I wanted an easy ride for this show. However that idea lasted about four tracks in when I got distracted (SQUIRREL!) and confused and couldn't find the next planned track in Torq so I wandered off the path... and in a most delightful way :). Here's the...

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

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

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.
