Archived Madoka Promo Mixes For Download
Wednesday 19 May 2010 - Filed under Promo Mixes
I have been digging deep into my DJ mix archive and have been rediscovering some real gems. I plan to put them up for download again right here on the site for anyone to grab while they are up. So, since I can not post all of the past Madoka DJ mixes at once due to space constraints, I will feature one re-release at a time. They will be available for download each month until I exhaust the archive. All mixes will be posted in 320k quality and will be the full mixes and will not include any edited-for-radio versions. I frequently get requests for past mixes, so hopefully, this will help some avid fans complete their collections a little easier.

Commentz:
“Now also my offical September promo, I originally recorded this mix exclusively for Patty and her “Serendipity” show on Protonradio. This mix can only be summed up as sublime. The transitions between some of the mixes turned out amazing and so incredibly smooth. Since I had a late start recording the 3-hour beast on September 2, I rushed myself a bit after the mix was finished and passed on the notion of any type of finalizing in order to get this mix uploaded before my deadline. The quality was good enough, especially mixed down at 192kbps for Proton to stream.
However, I was a little bent that I couldn’t give it the true Madoka mastering session to warm up this gorgeous, gliding piece. So I decided to mix it down again and really give it a solid, final Madoka touch just for the headz and collectors out there. Because I had this opportunity, I also decided to fix an edit here and there. All extremely minor and most just cutting a bar or two to increase the overall flow of the big picture. I have labelled this version of the mix my “Director’s Cut”. This process is unusual for me, since I maintain a strict personal policy when recording a mix, especially with Live. I always record my mixes in only one shot, without any post-editing and most of the time, without an official tracklist. Being spontaneous is important to me, just like playing a live gig. I try to maintain that level of DJ authenticity, if you will, regarding my mobile setup and digital ideology.
Below are some of the raw notes I took to later make my edits. My “Director’s Cut” will also be distributed around the net and will be the official copy in my archives. I figured I would give this mix the same high quality treatment I give every Madoka mix. I guess I also found the concept of a “Director’s Cut” very intriguing for some reason today and decided it may actually be pretty cool to have some small insight into someone’s creative process if you were interested in such technical details. But then again, the beauty of this mix IS in the details, so they better be TIGHT!!!”
P.S. A little tribute to Underworld just for Patty….since the mix WAS recorded for HER show.
See you soon Patty!!!!
1. Changed BPM from 128.5 to 128.0
2. Fixed the offset of the first loop that leads into “Rainy Days”
3. 21/22 minutes (cut time) – 1 bar?
4. 27/28 minutes (cut time) – 1 or 2 bars?
5. 55 minutes fix fx treatment
6. 80/82 minutes fix tribal drums cut out
7. 119/120 tighten up “Turning Back” for transition (slight phase issue)
8. 172 minutes (cut granny/pitch)
