DJ Mix – Don O’Neill live @Tiger Lounge 8/27/2009

Don — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:45:25 +0000

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!

Studio move

Don — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:08:52 +0000

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.

Another fine DJ Mix

Don — Thu, 10 May 2007 18:56:59 +0000

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.

a thought about the Mailing list archives

Don — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 04:28:37 +0000

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

New DJ mixset up
