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.
