Love this mix and love the description! A masterclass 👏🏼

I am Ukraine. Or least my grandmother was.

Other than heritage, I don't have a direct connection to the land, language, or people. When the invasion began, Ukraine was on my mind constantly. This track started as something else in late 2021, but as the invasion continued, musical ideas formed from the news I was absorbing, and what I could only imagine the Ukraine people are experiencing.

There is a single synth, affectionately referred to as the "wobble" in the project file, that is the solo instrument in the track. It doesn't move much in pitch, and instead it uses rhythm and oscillation to dance and fight through the soundscape. It evolves as you listen, telling a story. Whatever story you hear, understand that this is a song of hope.

Special thanks to the Ukraine soldiers of Snake Island for their very important contribution to this track.

Underground With Nida #001

My set from Küsangalala at Distant Relatives in Kenya. A bit of deep house, world house and some things in between.

Thank you @Kuriba and #distantrelativeskilifi for having me. I had a lovely time playing,  listening to your music, catching up with old friends and making news ones. What a great night out under the stars.

Recorded 100% live on October 19th, 2022. Never any edits.

This is a new and updated version of the mix first posted here, 10 years ago to the day: https://soundcloud.com/djcira/sleepwalking

--------------------

For my 10 year Soundcloud anniversary I decided to revisit the very first mix I posted, both as an exercise in craft and well, I just wanted to do these tracks justice. The original mix represents the first output after a long transition from vinyl to digital DJing. What resulted is adorable, but it's not exactly the mix I had in my head at the time, nor now. Let's put the past decade of learnings to use!

What's changed?

- The gear. Original mix was recorded on Traktor 2 with a VCI-100, updated mix is on a Pioneer setup.
- The transitions. I kept the original spirit of the mixes as much as possible, many mix points are the same, others are not. Generally speaking, transitions are a lot longer, smoother, and any phrasing issues were "corrected". EQ blends are of course completely different, who knows what I did back then.
- That's about it. Tracklist is identical and I tried to recreate the setup I had at the time by disabling key lock/master tempo and not using any FX (ok ok there may be a teensy echo on the last 20 secs).

What was the experience like?

- Humbling. I thought highly of my skills back in 2012, but there are many things that I would call mistakes today that I would never keep in a studio mix.
- Hard work. In order to backwards engineer the mix points, I had to listen to the original over and over again (did I mention humbling?) and recreate everything in Rekordbox. I for sure used loop functionality in the original mix so this was tricky at times.
- Surprising. I didn't let tracks breathe nearly as much as I do now. Back then, I mixed hard and fast. This had the effect of making my mixes more exciting and creative, despite not sounding as smooth. I miss that raw energy and obvious sound of two tracks in the mix together.
- Nostalgic. I didn't anticipate how much it would make me reflect on my life in 2012. Hearing those tracks over and over and performing the mix many times again, it was almost like traveling back in time.

I wouldn't normally recommend going back to recreate old mixes, but given the right context and the right tracks, I can now see what a rewarding experience it can be. In the day to day, progression can be difficult to see -- sometimes you need a healthy dive into your past work to understand how far you've come.

The 2022 version is definitely the same mix...but it's also very different. I'm very happy with the result, this is the mix I intended to make. Enjoy!
