Like Lazarus, I return!<\/p>\n\n
Too be fair, Lazarus returned from the dead whereas I have merely returned from three months of working hard to meet a deadline at my job in addition to my daily responsibilities. I\u2019m happy to say that I met that deadline but the last month has been particularly demanding and so I had to miss a few shows.<\/p>\n\n
But I\u2019m back and we\u2019ve got a great mix from Duncan Bain, A.K.A., Orangewarrior<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Duncan first came into my life when I heard his spectacular mixes for the Headphone Commute<\/a> blog. What I like about his mixes is that not only is his taste in music excellent, he\u2019s not limited to a specific genre. He\u2019ll spin some chillout, then some dubstep and, as in the case of today\u2019s show, he\u2019ll spin some house. The kind of house you might listen to after a long night of clubbing. Wonderful stuff!<\/p>\n\n I have to keep this short because I\u2019ll be heading out shortly to a farewell party for my friends who will be sailing around the world in two weeks. Maybe I\u2019ll bring this week\u2019s show with me.<\/p>\n\n They\u2019ll be gone for two years. I miss them already but on the other hand, I know I\u2019ll be reading about their adventures on their blogs, chatting with them on Facebook, and corresponding with them via email. If we\u2019re lucky, we\u2019ll video chat with each other. What a world.<\/p>\n\n Join us again next week. Not sure what I\u2019ll have in store for you because I\u2019m still catching my breath. If I can pull it off I\u2019ll have a live set<\/a> from The Teknoist<\/a>. If not, I\u2019m sure I can put together something that\u2019ll entertain you.<\/p>\n\n One more thing before I go. As of today I\u2019ll be encoding each edition of solipsistic NATION<\/b> at 192 kbps. I\u2019ve given this a lot thought and while 128 kbps ensures an easier download it sacrifices some audio fidelity in a format that sacrifices audio fidelity to begin with. Ideally I\u2019d like to release each show at 320 kbps but I feel 192 kbps strikes a nice balance of a not too onerous download and superior listening experience. Duncan\u2019s mix deserves it, right?<\/p> \n\n<\/p> Let me know<\/a> what you think.<\/p>\n\n Bon voyage!<\/p>\n\n
