Not my best work this one but the tracks are good. The break-y part in the first 20 or so minutes is nice I think. It was good to hear "Head Melter" by Sasha again.

It's coming in a day late because I really wasn't feeling it yesterday.

MTT 302 / Held Together https://djcev.com/2022/12/mtt-302-held-together/

Mid-120s electro and a little breaks this week. This #djmix features music by Cygnus, Gosub, G-Prod, Koova, Sasha, Silicon Scally, and more.

starting on the tracker group/label iLLoGiK today. 92 .zip files in this directory I got from scene.org. Renaming today, rendering tomorrow.

A lot of this looks like it's going to be techno or trance but there's a few '96 / '97 drum & bass tunes in here that I want in my library.

I've spent the weekend avoiding rendering tracker mods to .flac.

Instead I wrote a little python script to convert the public non-reply toots from my old mastodon accounts into a format my static site generator can read. Fun and not too complicated but time consuming.

MTT 301 / From Spare Parts https://djcev.com/2022/12/mtt-301-from-spare-parts/

Working through some #electro and a little bit of weird techno this week. This #djmix features tracks by CH415, Cyborg 95, Drox, Komarken Electronics, Max Duley, Silicon, VCS2600, and more.

After about five hours that's Tokyo Dawn rendered to .flac & tagged. Did about 90 releases today, tdr-090 thru tdr-180.

My hands are tired. No more typing for the rest of the day.

I'm back to rendering old tracker mods to .flac .

Picking up where I left off months ago with Tokyo Dawn Records release number 90.

It's been a weird old #techno kind of day.

Tonight I'm fooling around with reading the archived posts from my previous two mastodon accounts. Surprisingly easy to do (at least with python). Making sense of the format is a little tricky though.

MTT 300 / Simple Construction https://djcev.com/2022/11/mtt-300-simple-construction/

Lazily mixing some downtempo & IDM somewhere around 100 or 95. This #djmix features music by Drøn, Metamatics, Push Button Objects, RS3, Takeshi Muto, and more.

Mix is going to be late tonight, my day started at 6 PM (and I'm taking it easy anyway, taking my time).

I'm about to start recording now & thought to take a few quick photos of my dusty old DJ equipment:

I've been watching #ThePeripheral with my dad and I'm... pleasantly surprised. We've finished up through episode four and have enjoyed it so far.

It looks nice and sounds nice (most of the time) & I'm particularly liking the more relaxed moments, the dialog. A lot of things seem punched-up or exaggerated from what I remember of the book, sometimes in a disappointing way.

I'd kind of like to go through the book and the episodes side-by-side to see & think about what changed in the adaptation.

I've fallen into a habit of using fedi mostly as a way to promote stuff I've done elsewhere and that's kind of not great, or at least not what I want to be doing. Need more weird digressions, fewer links.

I really like the fediverse but I've noticed I don't contribute much in the way of posts.

When I do talk comfortably I tend to say a lot at once and go on tangents. Often I talk to myself to figure things out. That doesn't work well with these microblogging services.

MTT 299 / No Need https://djcev.com/2022/11/mtt-299-no-need/

breaks, #electro , and IDM this week. Somewhere in the 120s. This #djmix features tracks by Alex Who DJs, Brian Eno, Lone, Metamatics, Supreems, Tosca, and more.

Continuing (and maybe finishing) #quake1 Sewer Jam 2 tonight, streaming on twitch at https://twitch.tv/andreaen .
