CW: L.A. By Night S5 E1

Several things happen at once! So happy to hear that again.

Ooooh my soap opera is back on.

L.A. By Night (a Vampire The Masquerade actual-play streaming series) just went live with Season 5 Episode 1 over on https://www.twitch.tv/worldofdarkness

I've read that this will be the last season of L.A. By Night. I'm unreasonably excited.

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.
