Setlist: Voltaire’s Black Unicorn Cabaret

October 1st, 2011

Much fun was had this weekend In Savannah. I had the honor of DJing Voltaire’s Black Unicorn Cabaret. Featuring the likes of Hellblinki, This Way to the Egress, and none other than Voltaire himself. We had the added bonus of performances by Promethium (Augusta, Ga) and Queen April (Asheville, N.C.). I met a lot of really cool people and look forward to coming back to Savannah again sometime. Here’s my setlist from the event.

PS: If you liked some of the music from last night take a listen to my Dark Cabaret Mix from last month.

New Mix: Dark Cabaret Mix I

August 29th, 2011

A while back my friends Terry and Chrissy asked me to put together a “circus” type mix. Additionally, recently I was asked to DJ the “Voltaire’s Black Unicorn Cabaret” Sept. 30th in Savannah. Needless to say this mix needed to happen.

In summary I guess you could call the mix “Dark Cabaret” but it is a mixture of many things including electro-swing, circus-gypsy, tribal and even a little Gothy EBM. Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments below.
