Mixchemistry: House Music Podcast

The Liquid Groove studio mix project allowed me to delve deeper into re-fix editing within Ableton Live. This time around, I relied heavily on edit re-arrangements which helped me re-shape the mix to give more flexibility and artistic expression creating a unique overall feel of the set. The peaks and valleys within the mix are a byproduct of the arrangement process which was constructed to reflect a more poetic foundation inherent within my musical mind's eye thus allowing the listener a harmonic connection to the overall flow. The track selections carry themselves into each other with each drop and break down to eventual build up. I managed to dial the BPM tempo down to a more chill groovy house vibe which allowed for more deepness to come through. With this said, the project continues to maintain the digital jackin funk that has been prevalent in my current personal taste these days. That is to say, the styles represented in this mix capture the essence of what I currently produce, or of what I currently

Yes... it's been a while since I've posted a mix, but I haven't been asleep at the wheel! First and foremost I want everyone to know that they can follow me on various platforms on the World Wide Web: -- http://soundcloud.com/mixchemist -- http://mixcrate.com/mixchemist -- http://mixcloud.com/mixchemist -- @mixchemist on Twitter There are a good number of mixes posted out there (this one included) which you can stream or download in High Quality (@320K), so do it... you know you want to! Let's get down to business... Funky Beat Astronaut is a funky mixture of "street" House with a hint of disco and a peppering of breaks. I toiled with remixing/editing the track arrangement for about a week before I dropped them in Ableton to mix & mash up. If you are familiar with the tracks selected in the play-list, you'll noticed I shorten them, and in some cases completely re-arrange tracks to preserve flow in the set. Concept-wise, I wanted to create a polished structured energy for this studio mix, and I think th

This mix was done the old fashioned way... It's a straight turntable mix...No Ableton, No Serato, No Mp3's, No Wav files, nada... it's clean, it's simple and to the point. I wanted to post this piece to demonstrate some performance skills and pay homage to the old turntable media. I miss the roundness of vinyl, I miss the warmth of its sound, I miss the fidelity it produces, but honestly, I don't miss the price tag of the vinyl format. I remember dropping hundreds of dollars monthly just to put together a decent set... Thankfully those days have gone by the wayside, and putting together smart sets don't cost as much anymore. To further add, production vehicles such as Ableton, have allowed us to put our OWN music in our mixes... NOW that I like even more! Be sure to check the show out the 2nd week of February 2007 as there will be a new Ableton produced down-tempo mix uploaded. In the meantime enjoy this classic summer mix circa 2004 Cheers!
