random d&b/jungle madness

These were too funny... I had no choice but to post an entry just to share these.





Speaking of which, I really oughta try my hand at a drum 'n' bass mini mix one of these days...

PULP - week one

I guess one reason I haven't really had the urge to blog lately because of all of the Twittering (or tweeting as it's properly called) and updating of my Facebook status I've been doing lately.
Something in particular that's been keeping me busy has been the preparation for an electronic music weekly that my friends (Tyler, Katie, and Peter) and I are throwing in downtown Monterey called Pulp, which is every Thursday this month at The Hippodrome (formerly Club Octane). It took me forever to complete the 5" x 7" flyer design, and by the time I finally did complete it, I was asked to put together an 11" x 17" poster as well (with all of the information from the back of the flyer).

This is the front and back of the 5" x 7" flyer...

... and here's the 11" x 17" poster.

It was kinda tricky trying to figure out how to cram all of that information onto the back of the 5 x 7 flyer and the front of the 11 x 17 poster without making it too cluttered and busy. I think I did alright... Whaddaya guys think?

But yeah, this past Thursday was our opening night, and I think I can confidently say that the night was a success. Initially, we all kinda had the mindset that, like, "Ya know, it doesn't matter if there's a smaller turnout than we hope... This will be a learning experience for us..." To our pleasant surprise however, people kept showing up and filling the room! And they all kept dancing til the place closed!

I haven't had time to go through all of the photos, but here are a couple from the night.

I didn't realize just how awesome the view was from this room (the Skyy Room)! I'm pretty glad that we scored this room rather than the smaller (and darker) room on the opposite side of the club!

Anywho, I gotta run some errands, but I'll try to have the rest of the pics up soon!

a trance mini mix to tide you over til my next update

Geez, I haven't updated this in a while! I've been that big combination of busy and lazy...

But yeah... Here's a mini trance mixset I recorded in the beginning of last December that I had never got around to uploading for various reasons... I'll go ahead and put it up now for you guys to download. I did burn it onto some CDRs along with the Summer Mini Breaks Mixtape and toss them out to the crowd at last month's ElectroFunk Combustion, but to anyone who wasn't fortunate enough to catch one of the CDs, here's your chance to have it for yourself. :)


Download it in a high quality mp3 format here:

Alrighty, well, I hope to have an update with a little more substance next time, but til then, enjoy the mix!

Oh, and happy Lunar/Chinese New Year, too!

my winter mix is up: "electronic for a cold day"

I finished my winter mix this morning and here it is!

minceyfresh - 2008 12.24 - electronic for a cold day



Download it here in higher quality mp3 format.

No matter the genre, there are always those tracks that make for good listening when bundled up with a hot cup of tea watching the rain (okay, well, not all genres, but I'm sure you get what I mean). I wanted to compile a mix that invokes that type of feeling; something that I could put on while taking a nap or driving around at night. It's quite different from what I normally spin, as it starts off a bit slower and subdued, and eventually picks up into music with a little more energy. Anywho, I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much as I did mixing it!

Happy holidays!
