therobsta - April 09 Mix

April 27 2009

Category: Mixsets

Rob’s latest mix is a snapshot of the Beatport Top 10 as it stands late April 2009. But this is not a simple compilation, as the tracks are not assembled in Top 10 order. Rob has used his usual flare for music to build a mixset journey out of the Beatport Top 10. This mix takes us on a meaningful journey, exploring the light and shade of the Top 10. Its wonderfully mixed, as always, and well worth a listen.

I’m happy to be DJing a back-to-back set with therobsta on Saturday 2nd May at Liquidity. This is part of the Pulzar FM Launch celebrations, and is shaping up to be a great night. If you’re in Christchurch on May 2nd, come along to Liquidity and join the party :)

MAESTRO B - Enlightenment 4 - Finale

April 16 2009

Category: Mixsets

Here is the Finale in the Enlightenment series. In this set I return to some melodic house sounds, with lots of nice vocals. There is a disco/funky feel to the start of the set. Of course, all mixsets need to take the listener on a journey, and to this end Enlightenment 4 slowly edges towards some good chunky electro beats.

This is where the Enlightenment journey finishes. We’ve come full circle. Enlightenment is over 4 hours of pure house goodness. Each mix can stand alone, or can be played consequetively for a full party.

This mix will be broadcast on Christchurch’s Pulzar FM in high quality format. If you’re in Christchurch, tune in to Pulzar on 105.7FM.

MAESTRO B - Enlightenment 3 The Third Movement

April 13 2009

Category: Mixsets

Enlightenment - The Third Movement is the next in my current series of four mixsets. Unlike the previous mix, the music in this one has a harder edge and is a little lighter on the vocals. This mix is also distinct from Enlightenment 2 in that it builds more of a journey. It starts with a nice disco-house style track and moves quickly through to the harder sound, which makes up the majority of the set. There is a temporary reprieve in the middle of the set with the song “Fly”. The set then continues until it softens again with the final two tracks. In this way the listener is taken on the style of journey that I have written about here before.

As with all my mixset recordings, I have a planned structure in which I attempt to emulate the progression of my live performances. It is a challenge to reproduce the structure without a visible audience to feed off, but there are benefits in having no live audience. It allows the DJ to try tracks that may not work in a live setting. And, of course, being able to pre-plan the set structure has obvious advantages.

This mix is also going to be broadcast on Christchurch based radio station “Pulzar FM”, in high quality format.

See you back for Enlightenment - The Finale.

MAESTRO B - Enlightenment 2 The Second Movement

April 10 2009

Category: Mixsets

Enlightenment - The Second Movement is a follow on from my Enlightenment One. The music in this mix is generally laid back, with an electro flavor. The purpose of the Enlightenment series is to provide three mixsets of different character. They can each stand on their own, or they can be played together for a complete 3 hour journey.

This mix is also going to be broadcast on Christchurch based radio station “Pulzar FM”, in high quality format.

See you back for Enlightenment - The Third Movement.
