NEW MIX(s): Ruby's Rocks & Mine Cry Goodbye

Ruby's Rocks
Ruby is the name I have for my alter ego that does what she desires. She's been guiding me for a while, as I was flying free of rent, job and responsibilities. During my journeys, I collected many rocks to help me stay grounded and remind me of where I've been. But now that I've relocated, started a job, & found a loft space to build my nest, the rocks are sitting soundly on my alter, sharing stories of sex, music and morality...just like the mix. Ruby, of course, will never sit soundly, especially when her rocks are bangin' the Mackie 450. The beginning is my usual dykey dirtiness, but the second half of this mix goes gay at the end.

Mine Cry Goodbye
This is my first recorded downtempo set. I played it at my going away, er, Relocation Party at 2am, just after Knomus Kohonus threw down some sexy wax and before Shanghai Pearl and Miss Indigo Blue painted the Leschi Creme... Its also the first mix I've published using Ableton Live to mix. Its not super complicated mixing. Mostly I just started the intro to a new song before the last one ended. But the first-second mix is special because I created my own ending by looping the last two beats of the breakdown, overlaying an Ableton effect called Ping Pong (which creates the repeat sound) and then brought the new one in. For someone who is breaking into music composition, that's very exciting! Oh, and I did slow down Galang and By My Side to 110 to fit the tempo of the set. The music at the beginning of this mix was very influenced by my time in Hawaii when DJ Zoe introduced me to Ecstatic Dance. The last half is just me saying goodbye to my beloved friends.
