DNB == Robot Wrestling

Apparently, in the eyes of David Barr, my DNB is akin to robot wrestling… and dnbradio needs to use torrents.

Oh, and I spun another nice 2.25 hr set for my show last night. DNBRadio Archive.

DNBRadio Appearances

The night following my last post, I played for the debut of my official show, Loose Threads & Heavy Beats. That one only lasted an hour. Just today, though, I played a three hour renegade set that seriously stirred shit up. Check out Teh Renegade. Hooray for the DNBRadio.com archive! :)

Edit: Removed some broken links.

DJ Thread Gets a DNBRadio.com Slot!

I finally decided that trying to work around everybody to play renegades was too annoying, so I requested a real time slot on the schedule. Roughly 24 hrs later, I’m on the official schedule for Loose Threads & Heavy Beats at 12:00am Wednesday’s … which is really more like Tuesday night. Until DJ Serpico returns for the immediately preceeding Decompression Sessions, though, I’ll be able to come on at 11:00 instead.

DJ Thread – Chillax II

I got such good feedback from my original Chillax mix that it seemed another one was a good idea. This time, we’ve put together another blend of different liquid type styles, but focusing on some real funky, beat driven tunes. I need to credit my girl Julie for supporting this effort. She helped me pick out some tracks and offered moral support. Yay!

DJ Thread – Water is Not a Lubricant

This wicked 69:39 set was just aired and recorded live on dnbradio.com. Check it out.

DJ Thread – 0x34A9142C

Weighing in at 63:32, this one aims to f u’r sh_ up with some new material that I’ve recently acquired. The first part of it was played on dnbradio.com, but when the next scheduled dj (F|ood) came along, I had to cut the dnbradio appearance short. Luckily, though, I finished with a few listeners on the private stream with no interruption! Badass tunes for real… I highly recommend this one. Check it out on the torrents page.

DJ Thread – 11011010010110

Just did a pretty nice 100-minute set on dnbradio.com.

DJ Thread – DNB4U

So I just did another set … I think it was mostly pretty good, so I’ll release it. It measures about an hour and a half. See the Blog Torrent page.

Tunes to Hack to

My friend Tim Riley wrote about someone who wrote about Music to hack to. He links to a bunch of mixes that I’ll have to check out as well as my site. ;)

I, too, am into things upbeat. Drum ‘n Bass is my preference, but I must admit that it will distract me at times. It’s still my favorite though.

One mix that I heard this morning is a very sweet techy liquid one by the Future Engineers who I only recognize as authoring a track on an also very nice atmospheric dnb mix album from Blame.

Update: I can’t believe I forgot to add the link to the mix. I just decided to listen again today and realized the link to the mix download page was missing. I guess it’s a freebie. GO LISTEN!

DJ Thread – A Big Long One

So it was a lazy afternoon around the house. Colleen has moved out, Erin is home for a couple days, and Matt is at work now until he leaves to go home as well. I think I’m going to end up at a house a couple blocks over for tonight since there isn’t anything going on around here.

Here’s the first mix for the new year, and it’s pretty long at 163:45. Unfortunately, mixxx was being a bit fussy today, so there are a handful of spots where it breaks out for a few seconds. It’s a pretty nice mix otherwise, though.

Update: Damn, there are some really nice bits in this mix, but when Mixxx gets disconnected from jack, the interruption really sucks. I genuinely apologize, once again. :)
