At both of these gigs, I’ll be playing the very best in downtempo, IDM, chill, eclectic and just plain awesome music for your brains..

I dj’d a gig at Tiger Lounge (www.tigerloungeagogo.com) in Georgetown on 8/27/2009. It features a lot of Saru’s new album The Pearl (not yet released – www.downtempodojo.com).

It was a great night, there was fire performances, including flaming broadswords! This was my first laptop DJ set, so I didn’t really beat match, most of the mixes are fades or quick cuts. When I get a better controller interface, I’ll beat match like I do when I’m playing vinyl. Hope you enjoy it!

Hope you enjoy it!

Ken dug up an old Groovetech mix for us, I’ve posted it to the site, here is a link: http://tinyurl.com/ko3xld, enjoy!

I’ve uploaded my latest DJ mix for all to enjoy: http://tinyurl.com/5qdjj3

Its got some old, its got some new, and I’ve mixed it in interesting ways. Hope you like it!

I’ve moved my studio space into my new domicile and I’m remembering just how much I enjoy having turntables. I’ve had a few dj mixes floating around in my head for a while, probably about time I kick ‘em out so I can begin formulating some new ones. After all, if I’m going to start up a dj night again, I’d better get my ass practicing.

Ran across this one by DJ Brackenfern by way of a mailing list I’m on. I’ve been given permission to repost it here (right click, save-as). I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, its a bit older, but its really well mixed and programmed.

FYI, if your in Seattle, DJ Brackenfern will be playing soon:

I recently ran across a kick-ass live ambient set created by a Seattle local who goes by the name Gel-Sol. I’ve obtained his permission to repost it here, and thought I’d share it with y’all.

Find out more about Gel-Sol at his website: http://www.gel-sol.com

I got to thinking — we have a vibrant mailing list here at downtempo.chron, complete with archives that go back to July 2003. I can’t tell you how many great new artists I got turned on to by that very same list, why not share it with the world.

But before I do that, I thought it would be worth asking *you* the mailing list (and web) community if you thought that *we* should open those archives up for public perusal.

What do you think? send us some feedback by way of comments

I’ve added Ken Wallace’s Groovetech Darkside mix as promised — find it here. Props to Ken for sharing it, and giving me his blessing to post it here. Enjoy!
