Here is a short progressive house mix I threw together today. I recently got some new Pioneer CDJs and I finally got comfortable enough with my beatmatching/mixing to record and share.

I know its probably not everyone's cup of tea on here, but I thought I'd share anyway. Let me know what you think!



Update:

Another one....

Not bad, pretty chill. Seemed pretty basic but I'm far from an electronica expert

Only about 4 minutes in but I'll say job well done.

I started learning about 18 months ago...with absolutely no knowledge of how to mix or beatmatch. Its always been something I've wanted to learn and when I finally had the spare cash for a DJ setup I went all out.

It was a struggle at first.....the electronic dance scene isn't very big where I'm from, so I did really have anyone to help teach me or answer questions. After living in Denmark for a few months it all started to "click."

That explains your house influence.

I love it in the right setting. But I'm definitely more into dub step shit, bring on the womps. Bassnectar may never fall from the top for me. But for my benefit, I hope someday you take his spot haha...keep workin' and posting, I'll listen to all of it.

Heres my setup.....I'm in DESPERATE need of some decent studio monitors.


Lately I've been getting into some dubstep.....mostly dub remixes of pop songs. I haven't tried mixing it yet, but one day!

Here's an original Bassnectar mix, some new stuff:



Here's a clip of a pretty nasty Rob Zombie remix at HOB in Cleveland:



I like the setup though man, good luck.

Girl Talk is a "mash up" DJ...not really my style. I saw him live a few years ago....awesome show.

Something I threw together earlier today.
