Seabound Mix for Kate

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

A little mix for my friend Kate in N.C. I suggested she might like their sound but her exposure was very limited since the LastFM site only had 30 second clips of their songs. So I put this mix together . . . mostly Seabound originals with a few Seabound remixes of other artist’s materials and one cover. Upon listening you may notice some pretty large jumps in BPM – bear with it – when you limit yourself to one artist in a mix it is hard to cover all the bases.

Happy birthday Kate! I made this mix 5 days ago but I am just now getting around to uploading it.

I will be “seabound” next week for the annual Gothic cruise. I will be graciously sharing decks with the talented DJ Evelfaery of Prognosis.

Ethereal Beats for .:Z:.

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Did another mix influenced by a request for some ethereal, trip-hoppy stuff. It starts off with some more traditional electro-metal and EBM. The ethereal content is definitely female-centric; but isn’t most really good ethereal stuff female-centric? The mix ends with some symphonic prog-metal stuff. As always, the mix is under 80 minutes and can be easily burned to a CD.

Obscure 80’s mix

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Another 80’s mix. My intention: 80’s songs that got little or no airplay. (New Order – Krafty was not released in the 80’s – my bad)

80s Mix v2 (Contemporary)

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

This mix has some of the more contemporary hits of the 80’s. Hence, it includes a few lame-ish tracks (like Take My Breath Away, Eye of the Tiger and Ghostbusters) but you can’t just ignore all the cheesy parts of an era when making an era specific mix.

Ellipticals and Ventricles Mix v1 (120-140bpm)

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Another workout mix. My first experiment with a mix targeted at use on an elliptical. This also seems to be the correct speed for a power brisk walk.

Heart and Music at 160 BPM

Monday, July 16th, 2007

I put together a running mix. With average strides one should be able to do a 10 minute mile running to the beat of this mix. This stuff may be a little abrasive to your ears but I know some of you will like it.

Notice that some of the tracks at the end are around 80bpm but they still match up with the 160bpm tracks. Cool down is the last track.
