let's see if this works!
Hm... It looks like it doesn't automatically jump to the next video... You have to scroll to the next one manually or press the < or > buttons... Anywho, enjoy these videos from MonteRave while I work on my latest mixset (I just finished them [it's in two parts], but now I gotta chop them up into individual tracks)!
And happy Valentine's Day to everyone, too!

february update (new car, monterave)
Click here to download the mixset at Mediafire. The track list and details are below!
I haven't been really updating my blog lately (though I was supposed to a while back)... Well, first thing that's new is:
I got the Scion xA! I'd been checking Vehix.com just about every day since I talked about having to get rid of Mr. Neon, and as soon as a car I wanted would pop up, it would disappear just as quickly (apparently there are others in my area who have a similar specific taste in cars). One day towards the end of January, I decided to click around Scion.com's preowned cars and saw a 2006 xA in Sunnyvale for $12,991.00. I called the dealership to make sure it was still there, and it was, although they realized that they posted the wrong price for it (it was supposed to be $14,991). Since I already saw it for 12 k on their website, they were able honor the price! Pretty awesome, huh?
I'll be paying for it for a while, but right now I don't even care. It feels great not to have to worry about whether or not my car will last another month, and it's especially nice just to have all the buttons and switches on the dashboard, steering wheel, and doors actually work.
The day after I got the car was MonteRave. I don't even know where to begin. The event was intense, and I can't wait for the next one. I spun the opening set of the night, and I was pretty nervous. I have no idea why, either. I didn't feel any anxiety at all going into it. Once I started the set, though, I kept freaking out (probably just in my head, as nobody seemed to notice it when I asked them about it later). One idiot mistake I made being so wound up, though, was that I forgot to start recording my set until about halfway into it.
So yeah, the mix you just downloaded (YOU DOWNLOADED IT, RIGHT???) actually starts off in the middle of the sixth track of the 12 that I played that night. Here's what I actually recorded:
- far too loud - play it loud - [funkatech records]
- the rogue element - dead drummers - [exceptional records]
- 601 - hit that switch (anti-science mix) - [waveshape records]
- scratch perverts - stand by (krafty kuts remix) - [super charged]
- ctrl z vs. screwface - kung fu funk - [hardcore beats]
- stanton warriors - hope time (the rogue element remix) - [punks]
I'll try to post a new, full mixset sometime this week (maybe even tomorrow).

long time, no post!
A lot has happened in the past few days!
One especially big happening was MonteRave! I'm REALLY sleepy right now, but before I head to sleep, I may as well share the photos from the night (which was INSANE, but in a good way).
I uploaded all of the photos I took that night to my Flickr. Have a look there, or feel free to click through this slideshow!

my first step towards world domination: appearing in a rave flyer! =P
Quick lil update:
Here's the flyer for MonteRave (which is Friday, January the 25th for those not paying attention).
(click on the flyer to see it in its original size)
It's still pretty surreal to see my name and photo in a party flyer... especially up there with guys who've spun at huge clubs and massives for years... I can't wait to see how far (and how quickly) I can make it successfully as a DJ! I wonder if promoters, other DJs, clubbers, and ravers will accept the fact that I use the M-Audio Torq Xponent + MacBook combination to spin rather than using a pair of Pioneer CDJs or Technics 1200s (with at least Serato, if not actual vinyl). Well, that's really another topic that I can carry on for a while, so I'll do that in another post.
Keli did a nice job with the design, and I'm glad she actually found a pretty decent photo of me to use for the flyer. I kinda joked with Mick that he and I almost look like the same person in the photos. ^^
On my next day off, I'm gonna have to buy a bunch of CDRs and paper CD envelopes to burn a bunch of demo mixes to hand out after my set.
Oh, speaking of Technics, have you guys heard that Panasonic (Technics' parent company) will have all of its sub-brands (Technics, National, etc) be renamed "Panasonic?" So in a couple years, all new Technics 1200 turntables will be manufactured as Panasonic 1200s. I think.
