this was the final set in a week of running around in the mountains and spreading the bass, and the only one i managed to get a good recording of. there’s also a video of the dancefloor up on youtube.

i was lucky enough to play my first european gig in paris at a massive rainforest benefit show at a convention center downtown. there were three rooms of goodness, and i was asked to play sets with a slightly different feel in both, which was a nice challenge :)

the first set was at midnight on the ‘chill’ stage and i was asked to play something more dubby – i ended up getting a little crunchier than i’d planned on but that seemed to be what the crowd wanted so i decided to oblige! things got a little hairy at the end when i think i played longer than i was supposed to due to a miscommunication with the sound crew about the setup for the next act, but nobody seemed terribly put out.

the second set was at 11am on the ‘alternative’ stage, and i was still a bit groggy from taking a nap backstage when i went on. i was playing after a progressive trance act and before somebody who said they planned on starting with hard dubstep and progressing into dnb, and i think i did a pretty decent job of bridging the gap. i was very surprised by the size & energy level of the crowd for this one, and really enjoyed having a rocking dancefloor at that time in the morning!

i was thrilled to have the opportunity to play a show in greenville, sc with the pangea crew. drove down with a couple of ashevillains and was definitely impressed with the crowd, the venue, and the excellent yorkville soundsystem. the recording starts at the end of the set before me (never caught the name of the project) and then kicks into high gear pretty quickly.

at the end of 2007 i moved to a small town called granite falls in the foothills of western north carolina. i recorded this mix in february of 2008 after finally settling in enough to set up my gear – this was my first time recording in this location, and my first time recording with my new ikey recorder. the levels jump a bit but i felt like it was good enough to preserve & share.
