dancey No. 1

October 27, 2009 in mixtape,new music,personal

I’ve been a fan of electronic music as far back as I can remember. When I moved to Boston and especially LA, I started going to more shows and listening to all kinds of music. It really opened my mind to different styles and genres.

I had already been DJ’ing electronic music (mostly tech-house and electro) and began incorporating sounds from the rock, soul, funk, disco, hip-hop, and indie arenas into my sets.

Now that I program online radio stations, that knowledge has come in handy as I work on everything under the sun from country to folk to indie to Christian rock.

This set is back to the electronic scene. I’ve always loved this genre as I have a fondness for clean, minimal production aesthetics paired with uptempo and forward-thinking sounds.

I like this mix and find it a great one to listen to when going on a run or when you generally just like something upbeat to listen to.

It took me awhile to find my grounding after making the shift from vinyl to cd’s to mp3′s. Now I’m 100% digital and have found a good rhythm so to speak in which to create. So expect more mixes from me in the near future!

Check it, share it with your friends – lemmie know what you think!
