Ressurection(ish)

Hello friends!  DJ Nemi here.  I'm just stopping by to let you know that the show will be back on the air  this Tuesday night from 8 to10pm and it will be hosted by yours truly.  Here's a super convenient link to the KXUA site where you can listen: http://kxua.uark.edu/

I know I've been away for quite awhile (to put it lightly), but I've got some amazing music lined up to share  with you, as well as a few stories about what I've been up to all summer.  Expect to hear the latest music from Birdy Nam Nam and The Weeknd along with a tasty hodgepodge of everything I've been able to scrounge up over this past year.  I'm currently working towards upgrading my equipment to an entirely digital, tour friendly, rig...but in the meantime, don't be too upset if there are a few mixing slips here and there.  I tend to get really excited in the studio, so listen and enjoy if you don't mind or hate my face if you well...do mind.

If you don't have the time to hear it live, keep checking this site for an upload over the next couple'o'days.

Now, back to reading Shakespeare. Huzzah!

Thanksloveyoumissyoualready!

Great mix right here (Hardstyle)!

When I'm looking around for good music I check places like YouTube, SoundCloud and BeatPort.  This mix I found on youtube, and it's the kind of hardstyle that I could listen to ALL day.

This mix is a full Wasted Penguinz mix of the more melodic/Euphoric type of hardstyle.  The type that makes you want to kiss your hand and touch the lasers.

Do yourself a favor and listen to this.

Tracks: 

00:10 Wasted Penguinz - Stay Alive

04:15 Wasted Penguinz - Circle of Life

09:00 Code Black & Wasted Penguinz - Your Moment 

13:54 Code Black & Wasted Penguinz - Activated

17:38 Wasted Penguinz - Play the Game

21:27 Wasted Penguinz - Crea Diem

26:05 Wasted Penguinz - Freedom is Me

31:25 Wasted Penguinz - Melancholia

36:17 Wasted Penguinz - Within

40:54 Wasted Penguinz - Follow Your Dreamz

45:33 Wasted Penguinz - I'm Free

48:55 Wasted Penguinz - Anxiety

54:07 Sebastian Brandt - Mana (Wasted Penguinz Bootleg Remix)

Oh and in case any of you are interested in my personal life:
Got promoted to SGT E/5.

Peace,

TOTD: Years (Vocal Extended Mix) - Alesso, Matthew Koma

I got a great track for you guys today.  This brand new track was released just a few days ago and has already topped the Beatport charts as #1.  Not many tracks can top charts just three days after it's release. 

This song features the vocals of Matthew Koma along with some sweet piano melodies in the break.  The piano entranced me when I first hear it.  But as a standard progressive house song it also has a great synth line during the build and drop.   

DJs::  This track is easy to mix, and it's quite short actually.  Just remember mixing vocals onto other vocals at the same time usually doesn't sound good, so best not to try it unless you find a good track to match it with.

Anyways, definitely check this track out!

Update Update Update!

Alright, so I'm going to make this nice and quick.
But first a pic!

• The show on Tuesday night went quite well.  Everyone there enjoyed my mixing, even the DJs that invited me.  I was even invited to play another show on the 21st of August.  This is going the direction I want it to go. 
• I got more connections in the scene.  I met more DJs, Club owners, Gogo dancers, etc.  The Gogos tend to be all over me as I'm one of the younger DJs.  Can't deny saying that some of the Gogos aren't too bad looking.
• I missed two days of work from being sick.  (I must have eaten something.)  But I decided to make the best of my time by making bead sprites for my buddy to sell.  So at least I'll make some money from the day off, right?
• I finished watching Air Gear, the anime.  I've gotta say for a good anime, the ending was the worse.

That's about it.  It's friday, and I've got National Guard drill this weekend.  Ready for the fun!  :D

Peace!

P.S.  Look forward to a new blog that I'm making dedicated to bead sprites.  :D

Spinning Tonight

Twisted Tuesdays is a weekly EDM party that brings in the best local DJs.  I happen to be opening tonight.  I'm pretty excited as this is my first show in a long while.  I haven't performed in quite some time, so I am a bit nervous. 

I'm just going to jump on stage and rock face.  It's just what I do.  :D

Wish me luck!

TOTD: Firestorm (Original Mix) - Far Too Loud

Far Too Loud released a hella tight electro house track in an EP called Firestorm.  The EP has 3 awesome electro, dirty sounding tracks.  All by Far Too Loud on Funkatech Records.  You can pick up this trio on Beatport for 7.47.

Great track right here.  One of my personal picks.  Pick it up!

Personalized Mixes

Lately many people want me to make them some full out mixes.  The only thing is they want them to be "special".  They want a personal mix that's just for them.  They also expect the mix to be ready really quickly.

Soundcloud Usage

I recorded a 10 minute mini mix that was supposed to be posted on soundcloud on Tuesday.  That was when I found out about soundcloud's lack of support for DJs and their mixes.  They require that a DJ get approval/permission from the labels of all the tracks he uses in a mix.  This is fueling my decision to move away from the great community of soundcloud and onto another online music site that allows me to post the mixes that I make without having to go through the trouble of having to get special licensing from the artists/labels.



In a standard 1 hour mix, a DJ can use anywhere from 10- 30 tracks, depending on how complex he/she wants to make the mix and how often he/she wants to switch tracks.  If a DJ is using 20 unique tracks from many different artists, that means he would have to contact up to 20 different artists/labels to get permission to post a mix with their track in it.  This can become very problematic.  Mainly because quite a few labels mock DJs who are trying to get their mixes out there.  These are the label companies that won't even respond to an email.  It can get very irritating, very quickly. 


Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm afraid my support of soundcloud as a DJ is going to end.

If you have any opinions, comments, or questions on this please post in the comments below!

Tokyo in Tulsa!

What's going on EDMers... or ravers... or..

Well, forget it.

I was at TNT this past weekend.  For those of you who don't know TNT (Tokyo in Tulsa) is an anime convention in Tulsa Oklahoma.  It is one of the biggest in the region.  There many vendors, artists, and guests that come to this convention every year.  Personally I come more for the raves.  I talked up one of the DJs to Nerd Raves about coming to perform, All I gotta do is send him a kickin' mix!  He's going to get one.  TNT brought in a DJ from LA, a chick named HeavyGrinder.  I've heard of her before, but never heard her mix.  She's not a bad DJ. 

I really enjoyed going to TNT.  Got to hang out with my friend Katie, met so awesome people, saw some awesome Cosplays, and competed in the Street Fighter tourney, Ate some food, paid too much for many things, and did a little self promotion by handing out some mixes.

Now to promote the show on the 31st that I'm opening up for.  I want it to be HUGE!!

Peace out!

TOTD: Rock the House (Original Mix) - Afrojack

I really wish I could give this track more credit than it is given.  Many people sometimes ask me this: "What's the true difference between Electro House and Progressive House."  I tend to categorize it at the type of sound. 

This is generally the idea of Progressive House: Blessed - Tom Hangs.
This is Electro House in essence: Ready for the Stomping - Far Too Loud.

This is a great floor filler for you DJs.  Just toss this sucker in and BAM!

It's Been a While...

Every time I post here, I tend to say:  "Hey guys, I'm back! blah blah blah, I'm gonna post more, blah blah blah, Here is an awesome track, blah blah blah." 

I'm going to stop.

Not the blog,  but saying, and not doing. 

Over the past half month quite a bit has changed in my life, and long story short here is what happened.:

Got dumped by a girl I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
Lost 25 pounds.
Got really fit.
Did really well in school.
Focused on my future life and got an internship.
Started drinking.
Moved back in with the parents due to a flea issue at the apartment.
Moved back out.
Approved for promotion in the National Guard. (Now lets just hope I get it! :D)
Working at this internship, on my own, going to school.

Now I'm making the final step.  Connecting my DJ network in full passion.  Youtube account with my mixes.  Keeping my most up to date mixes available on soundcloud.  Daily updates on my Djing stuff.  Always talking about good tracks I find, etc.  Just essentially really doing what I love without the external pressure, which is easier now because I live alone.  I can do what I want.


You can take this as a promise, or an "I swear"  or whatever you want.

But Basscadet is back, as Blay.
