back from the ashes?

i’ve been quite away from this place, as well as from the music production itself. however, this doesn’t mean i’m not completely away from the topic “music”.

a little bit more than two and a half years ago i discovered a whole new world: the world of dj’ing. disc jockeying was always something i really despised, simply as that and out of nowhere. never looked at the guy behind the turntables (now “cdjs”, as if cdjs were still in used these days) as a musician – an artist, undoubtedly, but not a musician. of course this poor judgement of mine never took in consideration the possibility that the person there could be a musician or a “bedroom” producer (while s/he doesn’t own his/her own house hehe). so, shame on my for thinking like that for so long.

in the middle of the 2nd year of the pandemics i started fiddling with the subject, using an old controller (a hercules dj console rmx) and an open source mixing software: mixxx. i enjoyed this thing so much so that a year or so later i bought myself a mixstream pro, because i’m totally pro gears that work independently from computers – that’s why i’m constantly trying to work on setup that work without the need for a computer – unless i’m recording stuff, obviously.

so, while the day my gear will see me again doesn’t come, i will leave you with the latest mix i dropped. hope you guys like it.
