Electronic Music Mixes and Sets

[Tweaked]

One of my Pandemic Projects was teaching myself to mix music sets.  I started screwing around on Youtube finding music tracks that could be paired together and using multiple windows to mix these tracks together to build a set.  It was surprisingly effective although with limitations.  Since I couldn't manipulate the speed of the records on Youtube, my track selection was limited and veered more toward ambient music.  Which was somewhat fitting for our pandemic times.

I finally decided to acquire Traktor, a DJ music program, which allows me to mix and record music.

First up is a demo which is mostly ambient music:

27 Minutes of Bliss 

Second is Novas, my first completed set featuring ambient, neoclassical, with some more upbeat progressive house and breaks:

I suggest listening with good headphones after a couple glasses of wine or other intoxicant of your choice.  Enjoy!

Also great for working in the office (pre-intoxicant, unfortunately).  Very cool.  My wife got into this for a while and ended up taking a class in Bethesda here: DJ Lessons & Classes - Beat Refinery | Bach to Rock

She loved the classes and spent hours mixing and putting things together.

My latest mix:  Contagio

A trip through ambient, melodic, techno, with a little neo-classical.

After seeing Refik Anadol's AI installation at MoMA, I was checking out his website and screen recorded the audio to his piece Quantum Memory.  I looped it three times and then added sections of Marc Romboy's Counting Comets Part 2.  Mixed on Traktor.
