stickers & stencils

I'd really like to start playing with designs and looking into good quality sticker paper or learning how to make stencils... The only thing is that I'd be REALLY tempted to show my stuff off on Xanga or on my Flickr... And that would be a problem since it's... well, not exactly legal to go around slapping stickers and spraying designs all over the place.

Hrm. I'll just have to stick with taking photos of other peoples' work for now...

photos (and my mix) from electro funk combustion

The above audio is my set at Electro Funk Combustion. I'll have it available to download soon! Til then, here are photos!

We got to the venue early in the afternoon to set up...




It was around 7:30 when we finally had everything (the audio, visuals, etc) up and running.




Joe (aka Giuseppe Paolo) had VJ duties this evening. He did a freaking badass job, and will be showing me how to use the app + controller he used so we can switch off in future events (so he won't be trapped back there the whole night like he was for this event).






First up on the decks, MinceyFresh (aka yours truly)!








Megabyte Mike followed after me.








3rd up to bat were The Ghettotechnicians (aka DJ S0ulFree & Mr. Tyler Jackson). Their set was when people started showing up in full force! The dance floor had so much energy!










Headlining the event was Durty!








All of the DJs of the evening...



The turnout for the event was great, and I can definitely say it was a success.
Thanks to everyone who showed up and made the event what it was!

I CANNOT WAIT for the next one (which will be Thursday, March the 27th)! Don't miss it!

Don’t forget: ELECTRO FUNK COMBUSTION this Thursday, 3/13!

I wonder if ANYBODY from Monterey or its immediate surroundings even reads my blog. Haha...  I'm posting this anyway, as this will be the next event where I'll be spinning.

my latest DJ mixset: "Two Sides to the Coin" (parts 1 & 2)

2008 02 - Two Sides To The Coin - Part 1 - Heads by Minceyfresh on Mixcloud

2008 02 - Two Sides To The Coin - Part 2 - Tails by Minceyfresh on Mixcloud

Hey, everyone!
I FINALLY finished my latest mixset!

"Two Sides to the Coin"



I was a little ambitious this time around and tried my hand at making it two parts:

If I'm at all successful,
Part 1 ("Heads"), which consists of trance and progressive breaks, will work your head, while
Part 2 ("Tails"), which is made up of electro house and breaks, will work your tail!
(get it? har har, I'm so clever )

You can download part 1 in higher quality mp3 format here:
