DJ Thread – Look Ma, I’m a DJ!

Wow, I never thought I’d really even bother trying. But somehow, I happened to put together a 55 minute set of hard drum ‘n bass that will make you want to bust out and kill peeps. Seriously, though, I’m surprised how much fun it is to “be a dj” and spin tunes you like. Maybe I’ll try another one of smoother, easier dnb sometime. Anyway, I’ve posted ~~teh torrent~~ (dead) for those interested. Just set up this BNBT bittorrent tracker/php management thingy. Seems nice. I have a few fixed seeders on the torrent, so it should give you good speed…. but if you must, here’s a ~~direct link~~.

Here’s the tracklist:

Thread – Altogether Pancho
Concord Dawn – Morning Light
Loxy & B Key – Battlescars
Commix – Tychoon
Rawthang – Dreadnaught
DJ Hidden – Ghost Story
The Enemy & Kid Kryptic – Malice Afterthought
The Upbeats – The Gospel
Dataset – Disco Beat
Unicron – Orion’s Five
Fatal – Torn
K.O.T.P. – Krypton Factor
Gridlock & Echo – Structure
Gridlock – V_Ger
Eminem Vs. Rareform & Spirit – Yes I Am (Mix 1)
Dom vs Calx – Pneumatic (Sledgehammer)
Imagination D – Electroc
Hive – Krush
Mr. L Feat. Super Fly Seven – Back to your Roots
Random Movement – Lifegiver

Oh, and I suppose I must credit the excellent Mixxx DJ software. It’s not quite as good as Traktor, but it’s for Linux!

Update Tues Apr 26: They played this set on dnbradio.com tonight in place of the mighty Decompression Sessions, which was cancelled. Now I’m famous!! ;) Anyway, the mix was actually pretty poor having listened to it another couple times… on the other hand, I did do it without any headphone cue.

Update Thu Mar 30, 2005: This file was deleted due to low hdd space. It wasn’t a very good mix anyway. :)
