Sea Of Vapours
It has been a long process but is becoming more and more real as time passes by. The track list for my upcoming dj mix / compilation SEA OF VAPOURS due out this summer on Zenon is 99% done:1 Ave Ventura - Rebirth (Tetrameth Remix)
2 Shadow Fx - Sound Section
3 Autonomech - The Wild
4 One Tastey Morsel - Chew The Fat
5 Sensient - Ballistic (One Tastey Morsel Remix)
6 Tetrameth - Jungle Weapon (Sensient Remix)
7 Autonomech - The Bit Generation
8 Sensient - Life Involved
9 Moses - Trukket I Lyden (Vacuum Stalkers Remix)
Each and every single one of these track is f%cking sick. The release will be a double cd, one mixed and the other unmixed. The unmixed cd will not include one of the tracks that appear as a bonus track on the mixed cd. I am currently just waiting for the mastered tracks to do the mix, the artwork is nearly done.
I have completed a rough draft and it was not easy trying to get the normal flow and transitions I achieve in my other mixes. Working with far fewer tracks, then trying to "make" them work together is a much different process than I am used to, but a very enjoyable challenge so far.

Technology Can Bite My Ass
I love it. I hate it. I LOVE it. I HATE it.If it's not my laptop, it's the software. If it's not the software, it's the controller. ARGH!!! I am going insane. And I know I am not alone. Jay and Norris off the site are also battling the techno gremlins as we try to get the new version of Traktor (3.3) and our new Vestax VCI 100 midi controllers to work on our PC platforms.
I won't go into details about what the issues are, I'll spare you that rant. I will however share the fact that...

As well, we will all three of us be braving the dust with our computers this year, so don't be surprised to see us posting about our pooched laptops once we get back home. Wish us luck in avoiding the dust gremlins.

Catcha on the playa. ;-)

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun. -----> Well this part is for sure wrong, I am still flexible, efficient, spontaneous and fun, sheesh!!
Extroversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity. -----> Again, wrong. I have too many interests, and more than one internally based identity.... all those damned voices, please make them stop!! Hahaha =)
Trait Snapshot:
clean, self revealing, open, organized, outgoing, social, enjoys leadership and managing others, dominant, makes friends easily, does not like to be alone, assertive, hard working, finisher, optimistic, positive, likes to stand out, likes large parties, respects authority, practical, high self esteem, perfectionist, dislikes chaos, busy, controlling, high self control, traditional, tough, likes to fit in, conforming, brutally honest, takes precautions ----->I have to admit it's a little odd seeing yourself summed up like this. Now I have to go back and retake the test to make myself look a little better. That's what everyone else does right?
