from here until 37:20, I think is one of the best mixes I ever did.... the way Cartas Para Geishas' bass takes over drives me nuts.  I haven't even tried to redo the mix ... ever lol

This sculpted studio set was made for maximum relistenability.  From deep & sexy broken beats through cerebral tech through ecstatic super house, this set is trying to capture the energy of last half of 2013 and the optimism for 2014.  Though most of it came together in one take, we spent weeks replacing some tracks & mixes.  As a result, we can happily say this is one of the best listening pieces we've done in terms of depth, mixing, & harmonics.  And bonus... y'know, you can dance to it :D

Waves - Dao & Pwny

Been spinning a long time, 29 years, more than half my life.  Have spun nearly every genre, have vacillated between taking this very seriously and not giving a fuck.  It is more than a hobby, this is integrating an artistic conversation spanning the globe and it is my passion.  This particular conversation we’ve been having in the Deep (house/tech/breaks) arena is particularly dope, and I’m excited to be a participant by spinning & producing that which moves my ass and soul, and raises my hands to the sky.  If asked, I'll say I spin Swamp music... humid Deep House/Breaks/Tech with vivid palates. &#13;
&#13;
Mixing is my zen-state.  It isn’t an intentional act as much as it is communion with sound, with the muse.  I don’t plan Sets.  My mantra is the ‘right song at the right time’, and you’re never going to answer that question until you’re in the moment.  I kicked the vinyl habit in ‘05, but I still use CDJs..  You can hear the excitement in a live-mixed set, when there’s no net, when the DJ is a sneeze away from a trainwreck.  I like a slippery beat or two, to flash your cards, to show this is real, this is Now, and we’re deep in it, together.  I also only like to mix deep, 3 mins or so.  It isn’t deep music unless you mix it deep, over your head in sounds, dancing with them as if Tai Chi, rolling them into another as if an Akido master.  The tracks dictate how they want to be mixed, the moment dictates what energy wants to emerge next; a DJ isn’t there to be intentional, we’re supposed to be receptive.  You can hear the difference.&#13;
