After years of oppression by a close-minded programming board, this year dance music strikes back majestically.

This is a celebration of youth and absurdity, of life and love. Slope Day has become a commercial shitshow and a disappointment to everyone, an excuse to get drunk, but without a good party for which to drink.

If you're fed up with mainstream no-names, crowd pleasers, and depressing emo confessions THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY.

If you believe dancing is a fundamental expression of love, life, and the human spirit, THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY.

If you just want to get crazy to sexy, summery, red-hot house, techno, and trance in the open air from multiple DJs who love every minute of what they do THIS IS NOT SLOPEDAY. Dance for the future, dance for love, dance for life, dance for a better world.

$3 cups or BYOB.

The revolution begins at 2 pm and goes until after sunrise.

I will be playing probably 6-8 hours of the time sets ranging from progressive house to tribal house to classic deep progressive trance to minimal techno...

Andrew Garcia from IC will probably play a similar amount of time, mostly epic trance and tech trance

We will also have some guest DJs playing in between sets.

I encourage you to come and hear things you never imagined existed

Here's the link to the information and videos I showed this afternoon in lecture.  Note the software section.  It should soon contain patches and other code to make this run.

you might remember misha's track from the previous in class concert.  i asked him for it so i could play out at a party.  he gave me it broken down into tracks and i decided to remix it to fit into one of my sets nicely

here's the result:

Fast Unicorn - Unconditioner (Adam Vana's Dark Condition Dub)

Static MP3 (Right Click Save As)

Streaming Online Player

it's sort of a crossover track, part dark tribal, part progressive house, part trance.  i had someone even describe it to me as 'slowed down goa trance'.  in any case the track occupies a critical part of the set where i transition to faster tempos and darker sounds usually before i hand the decks off to a trance dj

software used:
ableton live
soundforge
dblue glitch vst
audacity
various software synthesizers

it was about 25 tracks connected in all ways to one another and running through dozens of vst effects and native live effects.  the more i worked on it the less i was able to work on because after running for 5 seconds it began to chug.  i don't really like to render the tracks as i go because i like having everything controllable until the last minute.  so i had to basically undertake a campaign of rendering to hear every minute change...

anyways, it was fun and a great experience making a polished track that I am comfortable playing out, and I will get to test it on a crowd this friday.

Hey,

So I finally got around to recording a promo on my new DJ setup.  This is the result.

This mix is deep and progressive, with some old school vibes. I think it might appeal to a range of audiences because there's a little something for everyone.

Begins with some ambient and breaks, then goes right into deep house and some progressive house, moving into some downright oldschool tech house and finishing on a  with some progressive electro in a major key
