Greetings, Earthlings!

Summer is here and Tokyo is H-O-T!  I've been living here for a little while, but the summers seem to surprise me every year.  If the screeching cicadas aren't enough of a warning to stay indoors, insta-melt when you step outside sure is.  I feel bad for the salary-men who have to wear suits to work everyday!

This latest drop in my Interstellar Sessions series is an all-vinyl mix.  I was recently hanging out with my good friend (and, in my opinion, one of the top-3 house/techno DJ's in Tokyo), Groovepatrol, and our conversation inspired me to throw down some wax.  Recently, I've been toying with the latest, digital Pioneer CDJ decks and have been loving the tight looping and speed of workflow.  But, what Groovepatrol reminded me of is that, with digital coming to the forefront of the DJ world, there is a certain "perfection" which also comes with it.  The human-element of DJ'ing is being lost to tools which can auto-beatmatch, lock mixes, loop perfectly until infinity, etc.  DJ'ing is about the moment, the spontaneity, even if it means mixes aren't 100% tight for the entire duration.

After recording this latest mix, I've felt a resurgence of that spontaneous feeling... maybe not completely, but I feel it.  Maybe it was using vinyl, maybe it was the feelings and nostalgia from some of the older records... but something did come back.

Anyways, it was a pleasure to mix this one for you.  I hope you enjoy.

Interstellar Sessions Vol.6 (All-vinyl Mix)

"Oyaji" - 親父 - (oh-yah-jee) - defined as a father, or old man

This is Volume 2 of the Old Man -- erm, Oyaji Sessions.  Just a couple of oyaji dudes throwing down tracks.  Here's my mix.

We were sipping tea, drinking colas and messing around, at one of our favourite dive-spots in Tokyo.  Ravers were sleeping on the couches while we played deep, chuggy, groovy house and techno.  I swear our music didn't knock them out -- they were like that when we arrived!

Okay, enjoy

It was a lot of fun recording this one -- I hope you can hear it in the mixing!

I mixed this totally on-the-fly with vinyl and CD's, so I don't have a tracklist...  If you have any ID requests, please feel free to do so on the timeline!

Enjoy, and thanks for all of your support!

Marek Price: Loose Caboose

NEXT GIG: July 13, 2013 DAVE CLARKE / ANGEL ALANIS @ VISION, SHIBUYA

We're back again with another edition of Interstellar Sessions.  Volume 5 is, once again, helmed by your pilot, Marek Price.  Last time, we entered hyperspace with some acid and pure, dance-floor tracks.  We can't go full-speed forever, so we're docking with the alien space station, Glurhhp 27, to chill-out and recharge.

But don't worry: blast-off is scheduled again in about 30-minutes!

Enjoy the ride and, as always, feel free to share and download!

Don't forget to check out the youtube video recording of this, and other Interstellar Sessions mixes.
