At extra long last I’ve made the transition from analog to digital music man. For the past year my record collection has been collecting dust in a storage locker near the Rotterdam docks, effectively shutting down my second life as DJ Expensive Jewelry.

That is with the exception of one alienated evening playing classic house for a crowd full of drunken businessmen and prostitutes in Donguan, as seen this this little clip (shout to my co-DJ Charlie aka DJ Koolie for the camera work):

Feel the energy??

But thanks to a work-free weekend and the open-source music application Audacity I’m getting back at it - this time as the type of MP3-only DJ that a younger me would probably not respect.

I made my first mix yesterday. I’m still getting used to this weird, non-physical style of mixing, so it’s a little rough, but the songs are good, so I thought why not put it up. It’s called Sunday Morning, and is made up of some of my favorite down tempo hip hop songs. The vibe suits my mood these days, so it probably speaks better for me than I do….

It’s blended into one track, but here are the songs:
Common - Misunderstood
Outkast & Ceelo - In due time
Ceelo - Die Tryin
Immortal Technique - You never know
Da Backwudz - Feelin lonely
DTP - Growing pains
De la soul - Trying people
Devin tha dude - Briar patch
UGK - One day you’re here, then you’re gone
Nas - Project windows (original)
Biggie - You’re nobody til somebody kills you
J Dilla - Bye
