New set, no pre or post edit (yet)....raw and uncut...Enjoy

August 2013

Then there was this......Promoters used to call me a "Rave DJ".   Doubt there are many out there younger than 35 that would understand that.  I wouldn't recommend listening to this unless you were getting ready to run the length of the Great Wall of China. Still, some classic stuff I didn't realize I still had copies of....For those that don't know Picotto and Piu were Italian DJ's whose sounds I first encountered in Italy in Rimini and Riccione....All I can say was there was a time...wow was there ever a time...

Picotto & Piu and FU

Another oldie but goodie...Naps, Bush and Choop listen in around 30 or 34 minutes in...Funny how live sets really meant live and uncut.  So grateful to have caught the itch and been around when it was tables and fingers manipulating on the fly....not dismissing what guys are doing today, well maybe the ones who never touched vinyl, but definitely not the guys traveling the world playing music they produced and mastered...The EDM world has progressed from my time....no longer underground parties in nondescript locales but sold out venues and controlled enthusiasm ...capitalism at its best.  I remember going to a club or party and spending my time watching the DJ, analyzing and dissecting  the mix....For me at that time it was Stretch Armstrong on one side and guys like Glenn Friscia on the other. No joke...form and function...Could have created a masters level course out of it.....At that time, just like my youth, sound was divided, all around me sound was chosen all or nothing...So maybe there is good in the new youth.... Guys like AM, Atrak and Dlux have led to an amalgamation of sounds..no longer a choice of >130 BPM or <90 BPM.   So thats my rant thats my ramble choose a path and gambled.  All is well.....
