I don’t know if you know this about me but I’m anal retentive about how I put together mixes from solipsistic NATION. Where other DJs will do a set on the fly I know how my set is going to sound well in advance and plan my segues down to the nanosecond.
But here’s the thing: my day job has been consuming my life. The work has been challenging and a hell of a lot of fun but it hasn’t left me with a lot of free time to meticulously put together a show. Out of necessity I went old school.
Back when I used to DJ at WMFO 91.5FM I would sometimes show up at the station 30 minutes to an hour before my show totally unprepared. I’d grab a couple bricks of CDs and a handful of vinyl and go into an empty studio and quickly previous the new releases for hidden gems and string together a mix.
It’s not the way I like to spin but working that quickly did keep me on my toes and take my show in unexpected directions. And that’s what I did for today’s show: just grab a bunch of stuff I’ve been been listening to and digging and seeing if I can somehow tie them together for a show for you to enjoy.
Let me know if it worked for you.
If you liked today’s show then please tell a friend about solipsistic NATION. Maybe they’ll like it to. In any case, thanks for listening. I’ll see you next week.
