Coming next week, Remnants, my three part mix project

If you want early access to my newest project, now would be a good time to follow me on Soundcloud if you’re not already. Next week, I am releasing not one, not two, but THREE new mixes. There are 80 tracks in total, including an hour-long footwork/juke mix. Each part will debut on a different day (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), but all of my Soundcloud followers will have access to all three mixes at once starting this weekend.

The three mixes can be taken as separate parts, but they also work together as one triptych.

I’ll be writing more about each individual mix as I post it. What all three mixes have in common is that they’re sort of the Misfit Toys of my 2011 DJ sets. Anything that came out in 2011, I bought for gigs that never really got going enough during my set to play my more hype tracks. I seemed to play a ton of opening sets this past Autumn as opposed to more peak hour slots that would be appropriate for these tunes.

Nearly everything that came out before 2011 was unearthed from my record collection as I was working on preparing my IPaintMyMind mix. And while the process of going through every record I owned to create my IPaintMyMind mix took months and months, it obviously spawned a lot of useful additional ideas. It also was a great way to see which of my older tracks really could be brought back into my most current sounding sets, even if some of the older tracks were over a decade old going back to my first days on the radio in Bloomington.

On the whole, these songs have never gotten the proper attention they deserve from me. A few of them got played live, a few more were part of my WPGU set in September. But really, I never really had a chance to use most of these songs in the ways I intended to use them, and they felt neglected. They are neglected no longer.

I’ve had these mixes tracked out for a month or two now, but they’ve gone through a lot of revisions and edits to get to their final setlists.

Each mix has a specific theme or idea. There are also a ton of purposeful and accidental parallels between Movements 1 and 2. I will get into those details when I post each mix. For now, just take a look at the tracklistings. And keep your eyes open on Soundcloud if you don’t feel like waiting for next week to hear these mixes!
