sweet & spicy beats
Tonight, 17th August, 2024 8PM- 1 AM
Sweet + spicy = very, very nice!!
Come on down for some deep house, nu-disco, edits and remixes.
Listen to some of my mixes here on my mixcloud.
Like the perfect french omelette, made with simple ingredients and skill, I present to you my newest dj mix. I bought and downloaded some new tracks this week, and thought I would see about crafting a new dj mix. Turned out quite ok, I think!

I like my audio clean. As Traktor limits recordings to 57 minutes, you have to time your last track carefully in order to ease ears out kindly. When listening back to my last dj mix, I realised that it dropped out very suddenly at the end of the set. One Mind by Robert Babicz (Jerome Isma-ae remix) is a bottom-heavy track that does not withstand being cut off suddenly and abruptly. Realising this, I had no choice but to import the track into Ableton and tidy up the ending. Voilà!
Today’s mix came out practically perfect! I just exported the track listing, made a cover in Adobe Express and uploaded to Mixcloud. Man do I love modern technology.

September was a busy month. I had a little trip to the US, then some stupid admin to take care of.
Also, I renovated my little music studio. I painted an accent wall in a lovely inky grey and generally tidied up. I bought some panels to improve the acoustics in the room, but, to be honest, I need to replace the window first. Still, it is now much tidier and prettier. I am looking forward to the quieter winter months.
I started djing only last year, in September 2021. I think that I have done well. I hope that you like the music. It is not perfect, but I like it that way. Artificial Intelligence can make perfect mixes (but surely boring, imho). We beautifully imperfect humans make little errors and that’s what makes life so ineffably lovely.
Hello all you groovers, hot enough for you? Here in Spain we had 100Km/hr gusts of 40ºC winds…at 3 in the morning. Nice. Not.
Given how sweltering this summer has been, I decided to make you a nice something nice and cool, a long tall icy mix. Downtempo and somewhat leftfield, I dropped in some Henry Saiz, Matthew Herbert and Sahalé, for your enjoyment.
(PS – In case you missed it, there is another nice chilled mix right here…)
