MAESTRO B - Fly Doves

May 24 2009

Category: Mixsets

This is my weekly set for Christchurch City dance music station 105.7 Pulzar FM. I recorded this at home on a very wet Sunday afternoon while drinking hot coffee and watching the rain fall outside. This set contains a good variety of house, taking the listener on a journey from electro through various other sub-genres. Keep an ear open for “Doves Cry”, which is an excellent remix of the classic track. I played this at the last Audiodreams, and since then I’ve had people asking me about the tune, wanting to know who remixed it etc.

Next Friday I’m at FOAM Bar with the Curious Noise crew. If you’re in Christchurch, come on down and enjoy a night of house, electro, and breaks. In the meantime, enjoy this set. It will be broadcast on 105.7 Pulzar FM on Thursday night at 10pm, so be sure to tune in and listen.

therobsta - May Mixes

May 15 2009

Category: Mixsets

Here are 3 brand new sets direct from therobsta. These are part of a series of 5 distinct mixsets, which are to be broadcast on 105.7 PulzarFM. The 3 sets included here take the listener on a journey through some wonderful vocal house to straight house and then into the realm of electro. The first set is vocal heavy and contains a nice range of clubby and discohouse tracks. The second set is a pure house set–absolutely brilliant track selection–and the third set is upbeat electro. Rob also mixed two “twisted” sets, which I’ll put into the next entry. I like to leave a certain amount of time between posts to give everyone a chance to listen to the latest mixes before they disappear down the list.

MAESTRO B - Weekend

May 7 2009

Category: Mixsets

I really enjoyed putting this set together. As always, I search for a range of tunes that will build a progression and take the listener on a journey. This journey starts with some club sounding funky house before transitioning to the middle section of the set…a harder club sound. We then hint back towards the funky/vocal sound, which makes a triumphant return at the end of the mix.

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.

therobsta - Let There Be House

May 4 2009

Category: General

Another brilliant offering from one of Christchurch City’s most experienced DJs. Rob Munro (aka “therobsta”) has produced a definitive house mix representative of the April/May 09 house scene. This epic mix contains Rob’s usual variety of “get up and move” house tunes.

Last Saturday I did a back-to-back set with Rob at the Pulzar FM launch party. The club (Liquidity) was packed, and all had a great time. We must do that again :)
