Switching It All Up!

As you may have noticed by now, I am updating all of my internet resources throughout the next two weeks.  I am upgrading to a more flexible and efficient system with my information.  With “Phase 1″, you will see a more up-to-date and current blog instead of a clunky, full-on website.  ”Phase 2″ will make these changes more consistent with our MySpace page, while “Phase 3″ will finally introduce Madoka and Metamotional to the Facebook world.

Again, this is really an attempt to become a cleaner, leaner, more flexible and more consistent promotional machine across all the media we currently occupy out there.  Also, I promise it’s not going to look this boring as well.  I will be enhancing and designing as I go.

To celebrate our Spring house cleaning efforts during the chilly Fall season, I’ve included a link and the official tracklist to a Madoka mix entitled “The Village”.  The mix was featured as part of the Frisky Radio Loves New York City series that aired over an entire weekend back in September ‘08. I also converted all available tracklists into the blog to start to archive the information.

Anyway, enjoy and comment away!

Commentz
Resurrekted.  Bliss Tech at its FINEST!  A bouncy, techy, steady story that sublimely evolves
into a twisted, tribal, techno monster before finally falling into a stark abyss.  I’ve been
waiting for ages to incorporate the encore track (”Raiders of the Lost Arp”) into one of my mixes.
I found it while digging in the hard drive and it just felt like an appropriate ending to this mix.
I also included one of my new tracks I wrote last month into the mix as well to test it out.
It’s still untitled, however.

I had a great time recording this set, as it’s been some time since I did my last promo.
I managed to record an intense 6-hour set on December 30 last year, but failed to release it
after both of my studio computers randomly crashed at the same time, completely unrelated
to each other and I lost a little bit of creative steam as a result.  All 3 parts listened together were
meant to tell a complete saga.  I completed parts 1 and 2, but 3 never officially finalized.  Keep your
eyes open for the mix though in the future, as I may release the two completed parts one of these
days for the hell of it.  You will just have to go on half the journey :)

“Resurrekted” was recorded on Easter Sunday, 2008.

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 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 my 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 those 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
6. 80/82 minutes fix tribal drums cut out
7. 119/120 tighten up “Turning Back” for transition (slight warp issue)
8. 172 minutes (cut granny/pitch)

Commentz
“Clocking in around 3 hours once again, the more I listen to “The Second Room” the more
I realize this particular mix can actually be divided into three 1-hour increments and still sound
like 3 individual mixes.  The first hour is deeply paced with tons of dark tones and vocal highlights.
“The Second Room” really takes it’s time getting started, but that is intentional due to its
overall length.  I had the idea and arrangement of the first hour completely set in my mind from
the minute I picked up all the respective tunes.  So I felt I just had to commit my concept to a
recording.  I am glad I did, as I think the result is awesome.

The second hour gets harder and techier.  The groove around 96:00 really sums up the middle
section to me and Liebing’s joints are just so strong…”C” is such a stand-out cut, as expected.
I included some Trevor Rockliffe tracks in this mix just because I have a ton of funky techno but
rarely get to explore that sound fully.  Again, I think the songs fit the mix perfectly.

Rounding out the third set, some melodic elements begin shining through, helping to smooth out
the journey and end the story tastefully.  I love the flow from”Berghain” to the very end with Zoo Brazil.
“Shine” (which reminds me of classics such as “Voodoo Ray” or “Fine Day”) brings back a powerful
memory for me when I was dancing at one of my first underground warehouse parties in Philadelphia
back in 1992.  I was dancing alone for a moment around 6 in the morning in a small, boxey, cooled
concrete room with only a single beautiful blue light shining into it.  The song playing was
Transform “Transformations” (which took me ages to find out back then).  It was such a peaceful
moment as I cooled down from the hard-as-hell german techno and acid traxx in the main room.
I was totally mesmerized by what I consider one of the best trance songs still to this day.
So many gorgeous trance records at that time.  Those records will always be at the true core of
trance music for me.  I should have mixed “Transformations” into the ending here, now that I think
about it.  Oh well, that may be a great idea for a future mix.  Anyway, enough reminiscing!

Actually, I would love to hear about your favorite trance records from the 1992-1993 era.  Stop by my
mySpace some time and drop a comment or two about them if you ever feel like it :)  Until then,
keep it real and enjoy “The Second Room”.
