Foundation (2008)

This mix belongs with Over & Out as an interesting turning point in my taste as a DJ. I wasn’t only interested in super hard techno or soulful deep house. I was finally starting to cross over into more accessible styles. But the two mixes hold personal meaning too, as they helped one of my best friends through a difficult period in his life.

In 2008, I wrote:

“originally recorded for the funk-u show on livesets.com broadcast on august 28, 2008. this is an extention of over & out, but heads into more serious territory later on. you could say this is my take on this whole minimal craze. while i don’t see myself playing entire minimal sets, i do see myself working its sound into a broader set. foundation finishes up with a minimix of the best work from mike dehnert, probably the most important new techno artist of the year.”

Equator 2 (2003)

It’s strange that I never made a third Equator mix, since the two of these were pretty popular. I was just coming down from the tribal bug that bit me pretty hard in 2001, and these mixes were basically my personal answer to where I thought it should go.

In 2003, I wrote:

“equator 2 was recorded on a friday night after eating some bad food. my stomach in knots, i made it a mission to do something constructive with the evening as it was cut short by a rare burger in 90 degree weather. it’s best to mix when i don’t know where my head is at, and here you have it. one part cunty beats, one part trippy minimal strangeness.”

Rygar (2002)

A loose sequel to Gayclub, Rygar shows how the tribal influence had been affecting me from 2000 to 2002. And from this mix, anyone in the NYC scene could tell I was shopping at Eightball every week!

In 2002, I wrote:

“this is a bit of a new style for me. hanging out in those new york clubs during off weekends has had its influence.”
