Nossa Imaginação

Não Quero Mais

On-the-fly mix: made in Gaillimh, samhradh 2017.

So, how do you set about preparing a mix for an imaginary wedding?

Clichéd though it may sound, each wedding I’ve ever played at has been so unique. I’ve done indie weddings, funk/soul/disco weddings, hip-hop/R&B/urban weddings, punk/rocker weddings …. in short, all kinds of different niche weddings.

I bring thousands of tracks with me to each party, so to put the spotlight on just a fraction of those required some serious editing decisions. In mid-summer 2017, I made a shortlist of 200 tracks and decided to see if I could string them together on the fly, in a mix, in one take.

The plan was to aim for a 3 hour mix and I almost got there, but I had a bit of a wobble at 2 hrs 40 mins, when I managed to convince myself that the recording level might be too low! Which is my excuse for fluffing up the final mix, from T2 into Future Islands and calling things to a halt right there. But - a thousand phews! - it turned out that the sound levels were OK & I present to you these 54 tracks (instead of 60).

PS I was unaware of the R Kelly allegations at the time of the mix, otherwise I would not have included 'Ignition (Remix)'.

PPS Thanks to Billy McGaley for remastering this. The levels were initially too low, but it sounds perfect now.

Anois, cá bhfuil an cóisir?
