Live DJ Set @ The Blue House 08/23/2008

ryptide — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 02:18:04 +0000

Here’s a recording of my latest set, played at a friend’s birthday party in August. I haven’t listened through it so I make no guarantees as to its quality. Unfortunately the recording I normally do internally with Ableton Live did not work so I’m relying on the external recording that was done.

Tracklisting (I think):

Tripswitch – Shamanic Tea (Manasseh Remix)
Illy Noiz – Don’t Break My Heart (Backbone Remix)
Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince – Summertime (Hybrid Remix)
Matthew Adams – No More, Anymore! (Elusive Remix)
Illy Noiz – Viberreal
Akufen – Installation
Alexkid – Love We Have (w. Ian James Whitelaw)
Akufen – Deck The House
Akufen – Jeep Sex
Robag Wruhme- Wortkabular
Tiefschwarz – Benedict
Deadmau5 – 1981
Feist – My Man My Moon (Damage On The Backseat Remix)
Samantha James – Rise (Johnny Fiasco Mix)

Funk The War

ryptide — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 07:52:26 +0000

A friend of mine asked me to record a 90-minute mix for Funk The War, which is planned for March 19, 2008 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. This mix will be the part of the soundtrack for bunches of students dancing in the streets of Washington, DC in a peaceful (at least I hope it stays peaceful) protest of the Iraq War.

Most of the tracks are edited in some way by me, on the fly by extending, adding breakdowns, glitches, sampling some of my own original loops, etc. Fun stuff.

Enjoy!

01. Freestylers – Feel The Panic (Banned Mix)
02. Edwin Starr – War (King Britt Remix)
03. Cevin Fisher – Music Saved My Life (Pete Heller Remix)
04. Camille Jones – The Creeps (Dance Edit)

Quickie Halloween Mix

ryptide — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:05:40 +0000

Threw this together late last night. All tracks I hadn’t warped yet so the warping might be a little off in places, and I know the phrasing is off in two of the transitions due to one of my favorite things about psytrance — the tricky little beat-skip. Here it is anyway.

Tracks:
Derango – All Channels Open
Dark Nebula – Mystic Portal
Twisted System – Razor
Ohm Gnome – Step Away From The Dwarf
The Nommos – Iboga
Baphomet Engine – Templar Warriors
Baphomet Engine – Dancing On The Barrows
Para Halu – Popeyote

Gear/Software Used:
Ableton Live 6
M-Audio Firewire 1814 (audio interface)
Evolution UC-33 (mixer/effects)
M-Audio Axiom 25 (random synth/pad work)

New Download: Live DJ Set from Beyond 10/03/2007

Hello again, folks!

I’ve rendered to audio my set at Beyond on 10/03/2007 and made it available for download here. Ableton Live is really handy that way. Instead of hauling around some sort of recording device, or having the laptop have to actually record audio as I’m playing, I can have it record my key presses, knob twists and fader movements and render the whole set out as audio. Makes it easy to tear down when you need to clear a small DJ booth, and makes your laptop less likely to crash and burn while recording your audio as wav directly onto the disc.

Anyway, this is a decent mix, I think. A little off in parts due to some shoddy warping in Ableton on my part and some weird levels. Also a couple misplaced effects that take away a little bit but not too much.

The mix is all pretty chill, starting with some psychedelic dub at around 75 BPM and finishing up with some deep house at around 120 or so. Pretty drastic tempo change over an hour and a half but it was a fun mix and the folks who heard it live seemed to enjoy it. I hope you do too. Leave me some feedback in the comments!

If you’d like a tracklisting, leave me a comment, or shoot me an email at ryptide [at] ryptidemusic [dot] com.

In other news, Ableton Live 7 was announced! Who needs sleep, anyway?
