As for this blog, it's been too much farting around trying to figure things. Music blogs are quite tricky. First you need a good reliable host for many large files, and then you need a small music player to embed into the blog so that you can stream the files immediately, while also offering an instant download. I tried, but endless problems are the result. Those are things I may work towards in the future, but for now it's simply 3rd party download sites to host my stuff. Just don't be tricked by the wrong download buttons. Find the actual file name at the bottom and right click, save as.
And now for the music. What better way to kick things off than with 30 tunes over the course of 2 mixes that I put together? The first mix I'm posting is a result of recently hearing a few electronic-female-vocal-pop songs that really got my attention. I decided to make an entire mix based on this concept. The mix starts off quite slow and gradually picks up throughout until I slow it down for one more epic track featuring Feist. This mix is titled "Too Much Emotion" and I dedicate this one to all the ladies out there and all their lovely bundles of emotions that I can not fathom. Enjoy! Feedback much appreciated.

The Second mix is called "Doing the Mess Around" because that's what I was up to as this was my first attempt at something like this. I played around quite a while with several tracks see how I could squish the fairly diverse stuff into an 72 minute mix yet all the while progressing the mix to a much more elevated place than it's seriously chilled beginnings. It would be an excellent mix to use as an alarm to if you had exactly 72 minutes to leave the house. You would wake up slowly but be bouncing and grooving by the time you left. The first 4 tracks are quite ambient yet with enough percussion to keep you awake and chilling. But then it moves into some weird mid range sounds including a mash up of "Worms" by The Presets and "Roygbiv" by Boards of Canada, before finishing with some bouncy and glitchy progressive house. This was a super fun project and I was pretty stoked with the final result. I hope you enjoy these. There should be some fresh tracks up in the near future as well!
