The regular readers of our blog will know that Seth, our content manager, does a sterling job of publishing a weekly top picks. His posts always get a lot of reads (and listens) as he includes a mini-mix of his picks with the post.
.
As of late I know it’s been hard for him to continue the tradition of weekly posts as his other work load has increased. His posts are always well considered, (in fact almost obsessed on), and he always showcases top notch tunes from the shop. I know that it takes him a good deal of time to put together the mix in addition to writing his post, coming up with a nice array of covers, and meticulously linking to each artist, label and track he features. As you can imagine it’s a lot of work and takes a long time.
.
You might be asking what’s my point? Well, this is the first in a new series of my picks from the site. I’m equally as busy as Seth, but I probably have a slight edge on him when it comes to putting together a mix… as I only need to find the time to go hunting for tunes and then hit record as I give them a spin.
. All of the tunes are fresh and I enjoyed downloading them and then playing them straight away, recording the set as I went along. As most DJs will tell you there's something a bit special about playing new tunes... I think that's the addiction getting it's fix right there!
.
Conversely, it can throw you a curve ball as you don’t actually know the tunes inside out. Occasionally the 2-minute preview isn’t enough to expose a dodgy vocal drop, or the track that decides to switch to an off-beat in the mix out section. Anyway, I was sipping on a little Old Forester and enjoying my newly revised home studio so times were good. Here’s the track list:
.
1. Diego Celi - Choronzon (Original Mix) [Mindsounds]

Unfortunately, what you won’t get for this series picks—which you get from Seth—is the nice commentary, the 30 deep links into the site, or even a weekly episode. I’m going to do them as often as I can, which might be once a week or once a month. I don’t know as it really depends how busy I am.

Click this link to visit my network profile page where you should be able to launch the tracks on the mix straight into the media player. Not the same as deep linking, but easy enough!

The Resonant Vibes Podcast will also continue so this series is in addition to the rv_cast. The next episode has been turned and will be podcast soon. I hope you enjoy the mix.
