So, I’m teasing a new music project that I’m starting with my good friend noelectro. We’re jumping into the 2×4/live/production fray with a full fledged IDM-glitch-tech-funk-house-jungle-discostep assault. I’ll have more information soon enough.
Did you miss me? Here’s a little something to make up for my lack of updates. I’m planning on doing at least a few of these a year. Here is the first one.
The mix is a bit old (I happened to find it as I was “cleaning house” on my hard drive), but it’s pretty solid. I’ll update this post once I dig up all the track names. I hope you enjoy it.

This is an important update to the previous post.
I am DJing August 7th at an event called Midsummer Nights. There is a band, but don’t fool yourself, this is a straight up dance party and the heat will be brought. We switched venues to one that is much more reliable and relatively unknown. If you have been to Cirque Berzerk, you already know the area. If you haven’t, then lucky you! Go see Cirque Berzerk’s 8:30pm show on August 7th, then show us your ticket and you’ll get in for only $5, you don’t even have to drive to the venue! Walking Distance! Easy! Map and details are after the jump.
This post is no longer relevant, please see this one for new details.
Apparently, the new thing in hip hop is excessive use of autotune, also known as the Cher effect. KanYe West, TI, Lil’ Wayne and countless others have found out the wonders of the digital audio effect that was originally meant to correct shaky vocalists trying to make somewhat respectable careers.
Autotune works best when used properly. I don’t mean using it to fix a singer’s performance on an off night, or even to make the public believe that said artist can actually sing. No, I mean, it has to be used properly.
I hereby submit to you the best use of autotune I have ever seenheard: Roger Riley and Teddy Troutman’s Death of Autotune. 12 completely overly blown out, autotuneified remakes of your favorite hip hop tracks. Awesome.

That was…incredible. No, absolutely, ridiculously incredible. There were so many people I haven’t seen in ages. A good point was brought up, that with all the changing of gear (CDJs, turntables, laptops, laptops, laptops) there were no problems at all…well, except for the short in the left channel during Nattie’s set, but that can be fixed in post 🙂
I’ve posted my set from the night in the mixes section, tracklist is coming.

Oh snap.
Greg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, just dropped his fourth album titled Feed the Animals. You can get it for free, but if you pledge $5 or more, there are perks involved:
