Got this week's mix done right at the end of my day, just as I was running out of energy. Good timing but kinda stressfull.

MTT 236 / Some Observers https://djcev.com/2021/09/mtt-236-some-observers/

More fast #electro up around 140. Features new(ish) tracks by Client_03, Paradox, Parand, and Sbassship. (The Sbassship tune is particularly big).

CW: Critical Role C2 E31 spoilers

I'm rewatching Critical Role's second campaign right now and I've been waiting for this episode.

I like the storytelling and worldbuilding of these tabletop RPG shows but the most memorable moments are when things go completely sideways.

E31 has a fantastic and hilarious scene where a player during some downtime goes to deface a temple in a large city and then spends 30 minutes escaping guards. It's tense and unexpected and chaotic and very very funny.

Renewed my one domain name out to 2030 this morning. Now I feel like I really have to do something worthwhile with it.

Taking photos is frustrating. I don't have a tripod (my hands aren't steady) and the only camera I have to work with is a digital Fujifilm from 2004. Most come out blurry. I'll have to pick up another camera someday.

I just found the two Particle Music 12"s from 2001/2002 on bandcamp. I've been looking for those for like 15 years. I'm so excited I might vibrate into another dimension.

This is why:

Huge techno-breaks track famously played by Electrokid in his mix Robot Within.

I managed to play Timeblind's Time Dilated By Matter and Cascade Failure by Vaccine so I'm v. happy.

Posting a bit early so I can go to sleep.

MTT 235 / Reset By Peer https://djcev.com/2021/08/mtt-235-reset-by-peer/

70 BPM ambient, dub, IDM, and steppy stuff to close bass month. Features a couple new tracks by Distance, Pugilist, and Substance. The rest of the selection is old (as usual).

I'm 14 episodes into Critical Role campaign 2. I watched thru about episode 50 last year so this is a rewatch. Really enjoying it, I love the hijinks the CR players get themselves into.

I wanted a fantasy to escape into, something dramatic but also reassuring, and this works for me.

MTT 234 / No Carrier https://djcev.com/2021/08/mtt-234-no-carrier/

Fast breaks, electro, and IDM. Features tracks by Aaron Spectre, Bombdogs, Kronos Device, Paradox, Parand, and more.

Finally got around to posting this one after a prolonged internet outage. Not my best work but passable.

I missed most of Quakecon due to an internet outage.

I'm back online after an extended multi-day internet outage. It stinks that my mix release schedule was interrupted but this was honestly a good time for it to happen.

I'll have MTT 234 from 2021/08/19 up tomorrow morning.

Spent my day doing a bunch of webpage stuff. Didn't really mean to use my time that way but that's OK, it was fun.

Will have to change gears back to music tomorrow.

I might write an article about just the B-side of this record some day, break down the construction of the song in finer detail. Some day when I feel like I have the skill and confidence to do that.

I wrote a couple paragraphs about the two-track "Florida Electro Artists Volume Two" compilation on Frajile Recordings (2001, FRJ1-006).

Trying to write a couple paragraphs about a record I like. Writing is really difficult.
