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. Anyway, here's the track listing:

Jon Hopkins - The Low Places Alucidnation - Ambushed Múm - There is a number of small things Erin Lang - Now Arovane - Instant Gods out of the box Roger O'Donnell - In your hands now Bad Loop - Kauniit Ihnmiset Fujiya & Miyagi _ Knickerbocker Glory Jon Hopkins - Insides Si Begg - Are you the Big Bog DJ (High Rankin rmx) Trance Induction - ET welcome song Simian Mobile Disco - It's the beat Underworld - Crocodile Bomb The Bass - Megablast (Spenza rmx) Si Begg - Better living through distortion (Si Begg rmx) Hadouken! - Get smashed gate crash The Titled Head of Compassion - Everlasting Peace Grid Múm - Sunday night just keeps on rolling The Titled Head of Compassion - Germ Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music 1 The Titled Head of Compassion - Slick Machinery AFX - Crying In Your Face Cato Six - Demicga

Echaskech AV Set now on Vimeo

Echaskech AV set at Fortified Recordings Night from mach v on Vimeo. Dom & I were asked to play a DJ/VJ set at the wonderful Fortified Recordings night and this is the first 30 minutes of it. Dom use ableton to mix the tracks and I used Motion Dive Tokyo Console to blend the video. The whole thing was recorded on my Archos AV500 and then shortened in Quick Time.

Echaskech DJ at The Big Chill Bar, Friday Thurs 8th

This Thursday sees the start of our regular DJing residency at The Big Chill Bar, which we're calling "Three Day Weekend with Echaskech" as it's certainly looking like we'll be taking off the Fridays to recover from 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):

DJing at the Big Chill Bar, Nov 30th, 4pm - 6pm

I'm back supplying the audio backdrop to your sunday boozing at the best DJ Bar in London, Big Chill Bar. A bit more of a reasonable time for you all, 4pm - 6pm. Hope to see you down there. :)

VJ gig: Nice Up! Big Chill House Nov 22nd

I'm VJing at the Big Chill House for Nice Up! which means I get a comfy seat to hear Benny Page & JStar DJ.

And if that's not enough, my temporary structured compadres, The Disco Shed, are taking over the top room too! What a night it's going to be!

9pm - 3am, Entry £5

What Bigchill.net say:

Another bumper line up on a Friday night, this time the NICE UP! crew invite drum and bass/dubstep hero Benny Page to come and blow the joint. After a series of reggae tinged drum and bass monsters, he has slowly been building his rep as one of the toughest new producers on the scene, as well as dipping his toe into dubstep. Joining him, alongside resident DJ Shepdog is reggae/hip hop mash up don Jstar and his crowd hyping sidekick MC Honey Brown. Never ones to play it safe, they always NICE UP! the dance good and proper.

Upstairs, festival favourites The Disco Shed Soundsystem bring their unique brand of shedonistic disco, funk, singalong classics and perhaps the odd garden gnome or 2. Just the recipe for getting shedded!

No Show, but Mo' for November

As it was our wedding anniversary, yesterday, I didn't play in second life, so sorry that's there's no show for download, today. Instead I'm going to tell you what I'm up to for 'Movember": During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm losing my lovely beard and growing a Moustache. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer.

You can donate to my Mo by either:

1. Clicking this link https://www.movember.com/uk/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1552376&country=uk and donating online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
2. Writing a cheque payable to 'The Prostate Cancer Charity Re: Movember', referencing my Registration Number 1552376 and mailing it to:

The Prostate Cancer Charity First Floor Cambridge House 100 Cambridge Grove Hammersmith London W6 OLE

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men's lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.

Did you know...

• Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed every year and one man dies every hour.
• 1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime .

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at: [ Fundraising Outcomes ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a [Gala Parté Ticket].

Thanks for your support,

Mark
